The safest place is the Moon. If you can pack enough oxygen, that is.
If the polar ice caps melt, they will free all the carbon dioxide that is frozen into them along with water. This carbon dioxide will cause greenhouse effect of biblical magnitude, causing the flooded Earth to become something like Venus, where there is acid in the air. Also, if the water from the polar ice caps spreads through the oceans and seas, the sea level will rice very significantly (as I remember, it's 6 meters), so that the Earth will spin slower, allowing the Sun to warm all the areas of the planet more.
As you can see, melting causes heating, heating causes melting and so on. There will be no safe place on Earth as we pass the point of no return.

Well I suppose the higher you could get, the better. How's Everest sound to you?
But I wouldn't worry. Global warming doesn't actually exist. The ice caps are not melting. It's negative 25 degrees at my house right now. And human kind does not have the power to change or destroy the planet.
So I think your safe.
