Climate change is not new. It has always happened, with or without
power stations and motor cars. And mankind has always survived it. A
bit of extra warmth might even be a good thing, when you think of all
that tundra that might become fertile.

Thawing the tundra would very probably release a huge amount of methane and
accelerate warming so much that even deniers would notice.

Trying to stop climate change (even if that is desirable which is
questionable) is like King Canute trying to stop the tide coming in.
Except that he didn't make the mistake of commiting the entire
contents of his treasury to doing so. Perhaps if he was worried that
the tide would keep coming in forever and swamp his kingdom, he should
have built flood defences rather than telling it to go back!

Remember that Canute KNEW he could not stop the tide but had to prove it to
courtiers who thought he could.
