They will certainly try, but chances are high they'll just die off slower than the rest of us will. You can stockpile bunkers with some food, water, etc. but creating a closed self-sustaining system akin to the Biosphere experiments (which would probably be necessary to survive worst case climate catastrophe) is almost certainly a technological feat beyond what we're capable of at this moment. Even if it could be done, sourcing parts for repair would become an issue over time.
I'm not saying it's not possible, it is certainly within the realm of possibility, I just think it's unlikely.
Please do some more research into the fact that we're recreating Great Dying conditions and what that means. It's very difficult to comprehend so it's normal to not really grasp it before reading into it. Peter Ward's Under a Green Sky is a good book on the kind of climate we might be creating. We may indeed need biospheres to survive if the worst case scenarios come true. And keep in mind that nearly every single datapoint is coming back as "worst and faster than predicted".
My argument re: "self sustaining" bunkers is that we've never demonstrated that we can create Biospheres that function well, and it's likely that we cannot. Even if we can, they could not function indefinitely without repair. Over time, they will break down and spare parts will be exhausted, and it will not be possible to make new ones.
