US and EU emissions are down a quarter in the past 15 years. And world emissions have likely peaked (or at worst are in the process of doing so). If the world does nothing more proactively, warming will be limited to less than 3C, based on best estimates. That's still bad for many people and places, but it's probably not world-ending bad.

Governments taking further action will further mitigate the problem and might save places like Miami. That's the opportunity here that humanity isn't really taking advantage of.
