I think it's better to prepare for the Earth changing instead of focusing on something we're actually having very little impact on. The only way the climate would stay exactly as-is IS if we interfered with it on a massive scale, like Solar Radiation Management. And still then, we're susceptible to an extraterrestrial collision.... unless Deep Impact and Armageddon turn from hollyweird fiction to reality.

There's just not enough evidence to support it to allow myself to be bamboozled by politicians and fearmongers. The record high temperature for today's date where I live is 37.8c, BUT that was two decades ago. The high today was only 33c. I can't honestly remember the last day above 37.8c 100F which seemed to be more common in my youth. We've also had more snow recently than I ever remember.... winters usually being no worse than 3.4c even at night. Then there's the NOAA monkeying around with Temperature data. Then there's cherrypicked data samples from ice cores with hypothetical dates.
