All that radical climate change happened long before the industrial age. The primary influences on climate are the giant fireball in the sky (and its belches) and volcanic activity (and its belches). Trying to stop the changing climate is hubris and futile in the long run. Reduce pollution where it's convenient and not an economic disaster, and get on with your lives.
