Robbie, it's not the local temperature thats the problem. Yes people life in sub zero temps at the poles, and boiling hot temps around the equator.
The problem is the "average" temperature of the earth. You and won't even notice the average going up, that isn't the issue. The issue is that warmer average temperatures melt more ice, faster, raising the ocean level.

Warmer average temperature also means that the oceans themselves, expand. Sea level rise causes inundation of coastal habitats for humans as well as plants and animals, shoreline erosion, and more powerful storm surges that can devastate low-lying areas.
