While I don't doubt the accuracy of your post I personally simply do not believe Man will be the undoing of the Earth's climate.
I think it very arrogant to think so.
For one thing the majority of people on this planet believe in God. A God that is all powerful and can and will eventually save us all from ourselves.
If so then what's to worry.

Right now they are studying the effects of Cow and Pig farts on the climate and the resultant changes. Some actually estimate the Termites contribute more to Global climate change than Man.

The Ice age is another matter.
There was a Mini Ice age a few hundred years ago. Long before the industrial age.

This is what I have learned about climate change.
Ice ages. We are in one right now. Have been for about 2.5 Million years. The Current Glaciation period of the current Ice age is almost over. The Glaciers have receded and will most likely completely disappear in a couple hundred years. Possibly less because of Global Warming. The Polar Ice cap will likely melt.
Will we have another period of Glaciation before that happens? Possibly not because man made pollution may cause enough warming to prevent it. Hence....Global Warming.
So I don't actually believe Global Warming is a myth. I believe Man's contribution to our demise though Global Warming is a myth.
We are inconsequential.
And arrogant to think we are not.

Man has been here for a couple hundred thousand years. A blink actually in the time line of this planet. How much longer will we be here? Who knows, but if current world events are any indication I don't think it will be very long.
We will destroy ourselves long before any climate change will.

We really only have a few thousand years of proof that we even exist. In a hundred thousand years there will be very little, if any, evidence we ever existed. It will be as if we never were.

So like the man says
Don't worry. Be happy
