Inbreeding really has run roughshod over your family tree, hasn't it? YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS TOPIC, so either go and get and education or SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP. The climate IS NOT FINE; it is warming at a rate that is unsustainable and it is leading to a collapse of the natural world. Natural climate cycles are largely governed by the Milankovitch Cycles - this is why we know what a natural cycle looks like; natural cycles change the mean global surface temperature by 4-8C over periods of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Since 1750 the rate of increase has mapped *EXACTLY* with changes in human activity; incidentally, that was the year the Industrial Revolution began. Even in the late 18th century, scientists began to suspect that gas emissions might impact the climate. It wasn't until the 1970s when scientists finally got access to artificial satellites and sufficient compute to PROVE what they had suspected and, ever since, they have been screaming for action to be taken. The predictive models they built then, even with relatively primitive equipment, have proven to be HIGHLY accurate. Right now, we are on track for a change of 3-5C by the year 2100, with at least two recent studies suggesting a worst-case scenario of 5-7C. That is catastrophic. It also means that we are in a rate of change that is two orders of magnitude faster than any natural cycle. So, YES, this IS a doom and gloom situation and, NO, the climate will NOT, "... be just fine".
