Imagine if the cave men alive during the ice age were also dumb enough to think they caused it. I'm all for taking care of the environment but blaming every environmental change on humanity is the height of stupidity. If this infuriates you and you think people like me should be rounded up because we don't drink your koolaid, you might be in a climate cult.

Did cavemen have a fossil fuel based economy? Did they produce billions of tons of CO2 each year?

We're not blaming every environmental change on humanity, though? We're only blaming humanity for the ones we're probably responsible for. I don't see anyone saying we're responsible for plate tectonics (excepting the relationship between fracking and earthquakes, of course).

I don't think cavemen exterminated entire jungles and poisoned plankton with plastic.

One of the first things we have early humans doing on record is burning down forests: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-may-have-u...

On a much smaller scale though, now we do it industrially. Burning all the fossilized old forests we can dig out of the ground - which is even worse because they were no longer part of the carbon cycle.
