True, but when climate changes too fast, a lot of living things get 
hurt. This time round, it will be us. Or rather, our children and 
grandchildren. Humans have a depressing history of hybris in their 
dealing with Earth. We tend to think that because things are going our 
way we are somehow in control of the Earth and its systems. Acting on 
that delusion never ends well.

Case in point: Viking Greenland settlements. They established a 
northern-temperate zone farming system, which worked for a couple 
hundred years or so. Then the local climate cooled about 1/2 C (about 1 
F). Result: those farms were no longer viable. The Vikings despised the 
Skraelings, and refused to learn from them. So the settlements 
disappeared. That is, the Vikings starved to death.

That is simply not true. Or rather _complexly_ not true. It's the 
complexity that's the problem. Humans have a terrible time thinking in 
complex-system terms.

Very small changes in the systems can have very large effects, both 
short term and long term. They are non-linear systems. The rebalancing 
you refer to can be rather drastic.
