> The climate is changing just as it always has

Wrong, it's changing much faster due to man-made greenhouse gasses. Make the effort to read through the science and facts I shared.

Here are some additional ones, from scientists (99.99% or 97%, depending on recency of studies, agree that man-made climate change is the leading driver of the global warming we are experiencing today):

"Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.

Life on Earth depends on energy coming from the Sun. About half the light energy reaching Earth's atmosphere passes through the air and clouds to the surface, where it is absorbed and radiated in the form of infrared heat. About 90% of this heat is then absorbed by greenhouse gases and re-radiated, slowing heat loss to space."

Hopefully that clarifies things.

> I wonder how humans caused that to end

It's all explained in the link(s) I shared. Educate yourself.
