We know from historical observation that the planet gets warmer and cooler in cycles. That fact has never been disputed by anyone that I know of. The real question is ehterh and to what extent human activity has any effect on that cycle. Personally, I seriously doubt that anything we do, short of detonating a large number of nuclear warheads in the atmosphere, will have any substantial effect on planetary climate change.
Go back to the historical record. 10,000 years ago (a blink of an eye in planetary history), large portions of what are now temperate zones of the planet were covered in mile high sheets of ice. How did that happen? More importantly, will it happen again? The historical record says yes. We have absolutely no control over it, either, which is why I tend not to worry about any effect that human activity might have around the fringes.
