... and so on. That’s like saying et cetera. Et cetera is words used to make people sound like they know more than they actually do. Mark Twain said that. Saying and so on leaves a lot open to speculation. They never suggest that any of the changes might be positive.

There are NO changes that mere mankind can make that have more than very transient effect on local weather, let alone either short- or long-term global climate.

But human beings CAN adapt to the changing conditions, and have, throughout the ages. There have been long-term warm periods in which expansion of human influence has spread, then followed by long-term downturns, during which exploration and expansion was sharply curtailed. In neither instance were there large-scale human extinctions.
