There is an implicit assumption (not yet justified) that climate change
(especially 'global warming') is necessarily bad.

Shortly after the end of the last glaciation there was a period in
which the globe was approximately 5=B0 C warmer than it is now and sea
levels were several meters higher.

It is known to anthropologists and archaeologists as the "Holocene
thermal optimum" and was also a time of much greater biomass, the
Sahara grasslands, and much larger forests. Agriculture flourished,
people built cities and learned to write, and trading became
commonplace. The Stone age was supplanted by the Dawn of Civilization.

All without fossil fuel consumption...

When circumstances do not change, adaptation ceases. When adaptation
ceases, species stagnate and become more vulnerable to change.
Change is inevitable. Adapt or die.
