I don't think there are deer on Antarctica, or any herbivores for that matter. It would be interesting to wait thousands of years and see what comes around to fill that niche.
You're conveniently failing to mention the millions of people who will suffer and die with no fault of their own. This is not positive thinking, it's privilege and ignorace.
Tell that to younger generations in developing countries - they have done nothing wrong and will suffer because of other's actions. It's debatable how much people like you and me - provided you are someone selling labor and consuming averagely living in a developed country like me - can do compared to highly emitting upper-class people, but we certainly can't just accept the consequences of climate change like it only affects us or we are the judges of letting it doom those least responsible but most affected.
Yes. As someone on the gulf coast, I fear being without power for multiple hours in the summer one of these coming years, I could suffer heat stroke or actually die.
There are temperature/humidity ranges that make it impossible for any human to be able to cool themselves off through sweating. If we surpass that point and don't have AC, all humans experiencing that temperature/humidity will die after a period of time.
Nobody is safe when the atmosphere itself is lethal to human life.
To watch climate change is to know what the deer in the headlights must feel.
Powerless to change alter fate and prevent our death, while being forced to watch it's screeching approach.
We’re witnessing the birth of the new pasture lands the deer will graze on after humanity has been roasted off the planet.
Think positive

There aren't any now
or just import cattle from Argentina in a few decades.

I think you're missing the joke of the above comment
It's positive for all the things that will thrive after humanity is gone.
So there's that.
I didn’t conveniently fail to mention shit. I hate people and look forward to a lot of us dying from our own ecological mismanagement.

Deer usually have ample power to prevent their death; most of the time they have sufficient time to get out of the way, but they do not do so.
Which really makes the comparison even more on point, since as a whole our civilization could have taken action but chose not to.
Care to elaborate a bit more on the death part? You honestly think it's going to kill you?

If couple hours without electricity is potentially lethal for you, then climate change is the least of your worries.
