#2Wow that seems to paint a very very bad picture. I thought the impact of climate change was still a matter of great contention, or is this article a pretty accurate prediction?

#3The article seems to suggest that turning to carbon capture is our best option currently. If that is the case then what is the best carbon capture technology we have right now and could it even make a dent?

#4If Elon thinks we could live on Mars I would imagine we'd have no trouble adapting to merely higher temperatures on earth.

#5Dinosaury time periods were often much hotter and much more filled with co2.
They thrived. Plants thrived. The danger is in the change part.

I have a theory that he doesn’t believe we will easily colonize Mars and instead he’s developing technologies to sustain life on earth after climate change has wrecked the place.

Yes, and the fact that business isn't betting on "climate adaptation" technology here at home feels like this is still far off or won't be as apocalyptic as the article suggests.
If the worst does come to pass, I'm sure it will alter life as we know it, but the danger would probably be more to animals that can't compensate with technology like we can.

The article contradicts your post.

The best tech we currently have is bio-engineered algae. It won't make a dent unless we can farm lakes full of the stuff.

You're not taking into account the fundamental interconnectedness of all things on this planet and in the universe.
