Going forward in technology and society, and mindful of the climate

The Earth's climate has been in a continuous state of flux for about 4.5
billion years and has gone through numerous icehouse and greenhouse
states.

A greenhouse state is when no continental glaciers exist anywhere and an
icehouse state is when continental glaciers do exist.

For 85% of its history, The Earth has been in a greenhouse state.

Earth is currently in an icehouse state with continental glaciers present
on both poles.

Sounds to me like business as usual for the Earth's climate.
