And actual science says.....
An interesting comment posted in answer to climate activist know it all, Greta Thunberg......
The problem with the concept of anthropogenic (human caused) "Global Climate Change" is that proponents consider only a few decades in their personal experience of the climate in their locality and then conclude that what they have seen in their lifetime is "normal" and "typical".
However the current climate, over all regions of the Earth, has been drastically different at varying times in the Earth's history. The coldest portion of the last glacial period began about 110,000 years ago and a warming period began about 12,000 years ago. Thus, for 98,000 of the past 110,000 years, the "normal" or "typical" climate consisted of as much as 30% of the Earth’s surface being covered with sheets of ice from a few tens of meters to five kilometers thick.

Note also that there were forests and abundant animal life in the Antarctic during the Cretaceous period which ran from 145 to 66 million years ago.

The earth has been much warmer and much colder at various times in its history long before the human race even existed as a species, let alone as a technological species.
Our ephemeral existence is not long enough to determine what is "normal" or "typical" for the Earth's climate. Note well that at one point during this last glacial period, the British isles were covered by an ice sheet that extended as far south as London. Note also that the human race has only been keeping climate records since about the year 1850 and what we know of climate over geological time spans comes from scientific study of the matter via geological evidence and samples of Antarctic ice and not from direct observation.

Read the articles cited above and get a grasp of the length of time involved in geological time spans. The entire history of the human race is but a blink of an eye in comparison with the age of the Earth and the climatic changes it has seen. What any of us have personally observed in our lifetimes can in no way be described as a "normal" or "typical" climate for the Earth throughout its extremely long history.
Rather than the false flag of supposed human caused "Climate Change", we should be concerned with environmental pollution, environmental destruction and overpopulation. Those are the factors that put the human race and the planetary environment at risk.
