The exponential warming recently doesn't follow the patterns of natural climate changes in history. Even polar glaciers indicate that the co2 content in the atmosphere is currently abnormally higher than compared to the ice samples that dated 200,000+ years ago. If the earth is naturally warming, we are definitely compounding it to an unhealthy and unnatural degree. Assuming it is merely a cyclical phenomenon, warming would allow species to thrive where they didn't before and diseases would move farther north and it would be a climate less consistent with human civilization. If it is natural, why not do something about it anyway to protect ourselves?

It'd be nice if it wasn't actually a threat, much nicer than just believing it's not a threat. Seeing that this is the scariest reality humankind has faced, it's not a surprise that you guys have set your brains on obstinate disbelief
