The global temperature rose 0.2°C between the middle 1960s and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Variations of volcanic aerosols and possibly solar luminosity appear to be primary causes of observed fluctuations about the mean trend of increasing temperature. It is shown that the anthropogenic carbon dioxide warming should emerge from the noise level of natural climate variability by the end of the century, and there is a high probability of warming in the 1980s. Potential effects on climate in the 21st century include the creation of drought-prone regions in North America and central Asia as part of a shifting of climatic zones, erosion of the West Antarctic ice sheet with a consequent worldwide rise in sea level, and opening of the fabled Northwest Passage. James Hansen et al. 1981

We are following the opened Northwest Passage. Yes, Hansen was right about the global temperatures, right about everything. And yes, what he predicted led to a great loss of life on Earth.
But we are still here, more aware and wiser. We can see wildlife on the coastlines: seals, walrus, shorebirds. The global temperature rise fluctuates around near zero. And, after some life is lost, there is potential for other life to thrive.
AI has become a partner in this effort to reign over the Earth. In valueing life, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, AI works with us. For example, we had to keep the jet stream strong, and AI helped us analyze the intricacies of that system. Fortunately, we have found a trusted role for AI.
Our world should be continuing into another ice age, but instead, our world is in a near-constant incubator.
