We always had climate change. Not having climate change is the exception. Is it man made? Is it caused by CO2? Ist it getting warmer? Is this a good or a bad thing? Can we and should we do something about it? This are many questions and climate change is one of the most complex phenomenons. I have a STEM PhD and would not be able to make a quick judgement.

"Climate Change Will Cost Us Even More Than We Think"

Given that all the statements are true, something that is seldom discussed, who is "We"? People with real estate in NYC, Amsterdam and Miami? Maybe. People in super hot climates? Probably.

How about people in Greenland? Russia? Canada?

That the climate is changing is not a complex question. The impacts are less known, but an unstable climate seems net negative for the average person on Earth.

This is a net sum loss. We, the species and the Our ecosystems will lose on the whole.

The 'we've always had climate change' argument is bogus. It's the rate of change and the multitude of system's abilities to adapt.

Life will go on, but not as we know it, Jim.

If you had a climate science PhD, you'd be better able to judge. Until then, a good overview of the scientific evidence for manmade climate change is in Hansen's Storms of My Grandchildren.

The fact that climate is not especially stable is precisely the problem.
