It’s a vicious cycle and why even ‘just a few degrees higher average’ can unleash a rapid collapse of society as we know it. The hotter it gets, the more people will need energy to survive it, more energy means it will get even hotter.
At that point it wont matter, renewables will help but no energy transformation is without loss, by the time our energy is 100% renewables it will be too late.
We’re converting to renewable pretty darn fast man, not fast enough to completely offset the increased AC usage, but it’s fast enough that it may put a dent in it.

Unless we get that energy from renewables, in which case increased A/C use wouldn’t make everything hotter.

Like I said, it will help, just not enough.
