Planet earth is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks.
The planet will be fine don’t worry, it’s mostly us humans that are going to have a problem.
Well, us and more than billions of other sentinent beings that keep dying and go instinct every year [1][2][3]
Yes, them too of course but others will probably thrive. The planet has been through worse times than these (see: dinosaurs). It’s a big rock and it won’t collapse because we’re fucking with it.
It’s habitability that’s the real problem.
Indeed, the existence of life on Earth as a whole is not threatened by climate change (probably not even humanity). I'd consider it a matter of ethics regarding the life of individuals though.
Humans as a species will be fine. Human civilization and human individuals will be pretty fucked.

That's what people mean when they say planet earth, though. It's referring to the animals, not the non-biological matter.
Both human and non-human animals of course I assume? The current ones obviously. Life in general will probably be fine, it’s just the specific types of life currently inhabiting earth that are going to have a bit of trouble.
Good news for whatever gets the chance to climb to the top of the heap once mammals are gone. My money’s fungi but that’s mostly because I like Orks.
Europe is certainly not prepared for climate change but I have the feeling that the rest of the world might be even further behind.
The planet does not care. He will survive with no problem. Human society ... well.
