I think it's simple. Some people don't have climate change problems affect them and lack human empathy.

For them the problem is something they read about - not something real.

If they lived in one of the directly affected areas from climate change, and suffered the consequences, they'd change the tune regarding "why expect earth to look like this geologically", etc.

The current benchmark for climate change problems is "were things different 10-15 years ago".

Yea, things have always changed. It's why weather stable regions are historically more habitable than those which aren't.

Only if one has their head in the sand. Historically higher temperatures year after year, massive loss of arctic ice, etc.

All of those things weren't "always changing", except if you go back to thousands to millions of years. And even then, they didn't get there with the same rate of change we have now.

Yes exactly, all evidence point to some alarming patterns. The hottest year in recorded history, was it 7/10 were in the last 10 year.

Climate changes over hundred thousands years.

The rapid industrialization caused rapid heating in hundred years! This is a fact and trying to dispute it is akin to sticking you head in sand.

Anyhow the whole line of its natural so we should ignore it is crazy to me. Cancer is natural and yet people treat it. It doesn't matter if global warming is, or isn't natural, or its a mix. We need to stabilize it to suit us before we go back to having total population counted in millions or so.
