I'm nervous of commenting about this but three things are worth mentioning here.
In other words: yes, the climate has changed before, as any climate scientist will tell you, but natural climate change happens over thousands of years (exception: the Chicxulub impact), not a few decades: the current change is faster by perhaps two orders of magnitude than almost any natural shift. And even the slow natural changes kill civilizations.
