How do you look upon the future in regards of climat change? How do you imagine your life in the coming distopie?

"All opinions other than mine are only supported by dopamine highs" - wow, what a great new way of being condescendingly dismissive!
OP actually left the consequences of climate change open. No, it probably won't be a Mad Max inferno. Probably not. But we also don't know where the tipping point of the oceans is, because they are storing a shit ton of carbon. Hit that tipping point, and that carbon may well suddenly be released into the air, and then the shit hits the fan.
But even if that scenario doesn't happen, and the world is still theoretically perfectly livable, you mentioned one of the main problems: mass migration. We already see what that's doing today. We're not far away from World War 3 anymore. So yes, the question is perfectly legitimate.
(And before anyone thinks it: I'm not blaming the migrants, of course they're not at fault, they have every right to look for a better life. The people at fault are entirely different, but it doesn't change the fact there is a causational relationship)

As I commented elsewhere, a lot of people in our generation are masking deep seated suicidal fantasies and convincing themselves that they are a valid response to the world around them. That's obviously not good for anybody and makes them just as volatile as the other death cults currently in existence.
And ironically, it makes them quick to reject any attempts to make things better. Why bother attempting solution X when we're all just going to die anyway? Eat, drink, and be merry!
The thing that bothers me a lot about this is how many people oppose even doing research into geoengineering. It's like they fear the possibility that a solution will be found, thus disrupting the conclusions of doom that they've already come to and apparently found some kind of strange comfort in believing.

I can't speculate to the motivations of random internet users but yeah, committing your identity to a catastrophe of any kind is some serious dysfunction. It's like they have just discovered that the universe is unfair so their naivety demands that it leads to cosmic retribution.
