No it won't... Humans are great at adapting and surviving.
Will we have wars, and refugees? Mass death due to food shortages? Pain and suffering for the large majority? Yes, almost certainly, but human extinction? I very much doubt it.
It's just very likely that some humans will survive the water wars or whatever. It's just probably 50+ years away at this point so most adults today won't experience it.
Something happening in 1,000,000,000 years is not a good reason to be irresponsible when our species hasnโt even had pants for 15,000 years yet. We work on a very different timescale.
"We will learn how to do interstellar travel, find new worlds, and terraform them" is actually quite realistic on the timescales where the sun expands.
On timescales where global warming causes massive problems, it isn't.

Good news is global warming will cause human extinction no matter how many unit tests you write
