As to humans wreaking irreparable havoc on our planet, the best argument on that is....World War 2.
Almost daily environmental disasters were the rule: oil tankers, fuel refineries blown up, tons of carbon, particulates and other pollutants poured into the atmosphere from high explosives, pristine tropical islands torn apart from fighting and then from building emergency airstrips and bringing in thousands of troops. It went on for 5 years, all over the world. That was followed by a period of furious construction to repair the infrastructure, along with overall heightened economic activity.
The result? Little or no change in the mean temperature, and the scars in the earth healed themselves naturally.

Apparently consensus has replaced objective analysis among the entire scientific community.

"Scientific consensus isn't always right, but it's our best guide to understanding the world. Can reporters please stop pretending that scientists, like politicians, are evenly divided on guns? We're not."

Seems like Columbus ran into the same mindset a while back.
