So you think that anything we do to the environment will be OK, just because there is a natural climate instability as well? To me, that sounds as if we should be even more careful of what we do to it. And I don't really buy the argument that natural disasters happen to the Earth all the time, so if the disaster happens to be us, we should just smile and relax, since we originated on the planet. That's like saying "I can thrash this garden if I want, because I used to play in it when I was a kid." Or: "It's God's will that kids die of cancer, just be happy about it".
There is also a huge difference between being "desperate" and being worried and thinking we should care about what kind of world we leave behind us. You do sound pretty patronising a lot of the time, you know.

the End of the World is Neigh!
Surely that is only true if you are a horse.
