    And again...

    I would note, the logic of the OP has yet to be effectively refuted.

    Pascal's Wager redux, oddly enough.

    "one looks even further back and sees a period that is as warm as today"

    and even warmer!! but that would be a planet almost uninhabitable by humans, and if that's the future level of warm, then industrial civilization would be almost certainly harmed seriously if not downgraded to pre-industrial levels of resource consumption.

    eg, the US sunbelt exploded in population with the advent of a/c in homes, offices, cars, detaching people from the sweaty, stinky, humid natural reality of the region.

    bull response.

    People moved to the sunbelt because it became comfortable and to avoid the cold/snow, not to avoid dying from the cold.

    A lot more people die from handguns, so let's ....

    Just as there are far far more US deaths in automobile accidents every year, than terrorists have ever killed.

    Your point?
