This isn't really how evolution works; this is just brainwashing optimism at best. Sure, there's epigenetic memory which buys life time to adapt during outlier times. But evolution itself is a function of time[generations of mutations * recombination]. Thousands of branches of the tree of life are burning that have persisted since the beginning of life on earth.

The bacteria on the other hand, reproduce rapidly relative to the nice plants and birds and critters you're thinking of. They will be fine.
