http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/ice_ages.htmlClimate change, AKA global warming, is being used to enact social and economic change.
True, we cannot go as we are.
Unfortunately, the alternative requires massive depopulation to the level of population as was in [about] 1900.
Which is unrealisable, and would be too low to be sustainable.
Very few philosophers see Homo Sapiens lasting more than another few hundred years.
If a new ice age does appear [and the money is on that happening, no matter what the pro/anti lobby say] then Homo Sapiens is due to go into a rather fast decline.

"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world."
