Yes, we likely all wont live long enough to see climate change. At the rate bacteria are becoming AB resistant you'll like die from an infection that can't be treated long before the sea levels rise a few millimeters.
There are a lot of problems that we need to look at before climate change, like population control, water management, antibiotics etc etc.
> Yes, we likely all wont live long enough to see climate change.
This is wildly incorrect. All of us were born after our climate started to change. And the vast majority of us will live to see increasingly bad effects from it.

We should be solving all these problems simultaneously. Your suggestion that we should not work on fixing our climate problems right now, but that we should wait, is extremely dangerous. The longer we wait and the less we do, the worse it's going to get and the more expensive and difficult it will be to survive.

Who says some of these aren't related to climate change anyway? As others have pointed out, we need to be working on these problems simultaneously, if we tried to solve them serially there's a good chance none of them get resolved.
I don't agree with hnriot, but it's worth pointing out that if the topic of discussion is "what someone should devote their life to", then the order of importance of problems is crucial. Also, recognizing that some problems are orders of magnitude less important than others (so that spending time and energy on them is a net negative) is not the same thing as advocating that all problems be approached one at a time.
