I was just thinking about the persistent and chronic understatement of global anthropogenic climate change from those in a position to know, the inconvenient delay built into the exponential climate response, and all of our planet's positive feedback loops.
I'd been kind of assuming we could stick it out for millennia in HGWellsian underground caverns, but doesn't that kind of presuppose we'll have a planet with liquid water on the surface? For how long do you imagine we'll have liquid water?
Just a question. Don't get alarmed.
Arkadyevitchizing America since 2006
By the time you panic, it is way too late -- Lee Raymond, New York Times, July 6, 2008
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies a theft from those who are hungry and not fed; from those who are cold and not clothed. This world-in-arms is not spending money alone; it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. Dwight D Eisenhower, 11/16/53

Er, I believe that boiling off the planet is hard. The amount of atmospheric liquid water is only a centimeter or so deep, which isn't much compared to the oceans. And barring Dr. Evil turning off the hydrological cycle, I think your Dr. Strangelove scenario is safe. So, you know, you can learn to stop worrying and love the warm.
can we share an underground cave?
