I'd rather do the paperwork.

No, we shouldn't have a mandatory service, but instead provide a well funded service similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps, providing free room and board, and ~$1000-$2000 per month, with most of it going home to savings or family.
Now a similar system like this already exists, AmeriCorps NCCC, but it's not as well funded or as well known as it could be.

If it will happen in my lifetime then I can maybe be convinced to support this (provided you can show it would avert the crisis).
It’s 100 plus years down the road then I’m going to oppose it.
I don’t want to be forced to do some environmental labour gig. I want freedom.
That’s where I’d honestly stand on this.
It'll happen in your lifetime but nothing you do individually will help.

Everyone contribute, or we will all die and idc
India and China adopting the same policy won't help either. Climate change isn't a matter of insufficient labour.

NCCC has nothing in common with the old CCC.
They do a ton of stuff, most of which has nothing to do with the environment. It includes some legitimate conservation work like culling invasive species or building trails, yes, but also data entry, teaching in undeveloped areas, building homes for poor communities, running soup kitchens, maintaining infrastructure, and disaster relief.

perhaps a few million people will suffer, but I believe humanity would adapt and survive right?

Probably. We're pretty hardy.
One of the hard things is going to be the reduction of landmass available for living. One of the things that happens with global warming is the extremes increase dramatically. The poles will be colder as the ocean currents slow down, and the equator will be hotter for the same reason.
Livable latitudes will drop dramatically, cramming humans into a smaller liveable space.
We'll survive, but we'll probably wind up killing a billion or two in the process.

since we'll survive in some form, I'm inclined to value/prioritize my own happiness and liberty over some duty to prevent global warming
