So you're saying it's okay if entire species are wiped out and millions of people are displaced because "
things like it have been happening for millions of years"? Well guess what, buster: for millions of years the inhabitants of this planet have been unable to do anything about it. Today there's a strong possibility that we can so I say we should do everything possible to protect ourselves against this threat.

All to reduce temperature by 2050 by 0.002510145 °C. It would cost 100 trillion US$ to lower the Earth's temperature by ONE degree by 2050. All this, on a problem that may not even exist?

You're right. But the cost to relocate hundreds of millions of people around the planet is going to be far more. In any case, your thesis is about as logical as saying "Well, our country hasn't been invaded lately so we might just get rid of the army. I don't think we're going to need them any time soon.
