It's a matter of perspective I guess. There is a problem with with the modern mind in so far as a huge majority of people assume we are entitled to a stable, warm (not too warm, not too cold) static climatic environment. We're actually not entitled to that, whatever the cause. In fact, the Holocene, the geological epoch we find ourselves in today (roughly 9700BC until present), is the longest unbroken interglacial period in the last 100k years. We've already exceeded the last longest interglacial period by several millenia.
Everyone discussing all this climate change science with little to no understanding of it, especially in reference to the geological past, should realize that our activities that are causing such havoc today (and our activity is a measurable cause of the changing climate) may in fact be responsible for staving off a natural cycle of ice ages. Which brings things back to perspective. And you don't have to be a "climate denier" or someone who doesn't loathe pollution to comprehend the above.
If you understand how absolutely relatively tepid this human aided current climatic change is, including the sea level rise predicted, compared to what has happened about a dozen or so times much more violently and catastrophically since humans have been around (with no culpability for human beings I might add), you can begin to understand that this isn't the end of the world...in fact, compared to previous events that happened literally in the backyard of what we call history (Egypt, Sumer, Indus, etc... and several thousand years prior) this is nothing but a mild hiccup, an inconvenience.
I'm stoked.
