Disclaimer: I'm not a climate change denier, I think we should stop burning fossil fuels ASAP.

Though I'm one to question a lot of things and this is my 2 cents. How the hell we know this current changes are completely abnormal? I read about some weird climate anomalies centuries ago and of course there's a lot of evidence that current events are completely abnormal but one question always come to my mind.

What if we're wrong? What if we're being too cooky thinking that by having looked into some evidence that made sense, we're not completely wrong here and current events are just part of a cycle in the planet weather?

Again, I'm questioning but I don't need you guys to present me the proof, I'm aware of it. Just questioning if we're not wrong all along and are here destroying our mental health for nothing. Seems like even by the 1940s standards our generation is being constantly swarmed with problems which we can't fix, which are causing all sort of mental issues due to the complete stress we live in.

This being said, the switch from fossil fuels should be done ASAP, even if we're wrong and it's not causing issues in the environment, they are for sure causing health issues.

Part of what I fail to understand about our current situation is that it seems like there's enormous economic gains to be had in leading the world in the development, production, and distribution of alternative energy (solar, wind, etc) technology. Would not a USG led moonshot type clean energy project both lead to economic growth while also helping address the issues from fossil fuel emissions? Are we just lacking the political will to make that happen?

Germany stopped all their nuclear plants to go back to burning natural gas and worse, coal. So you tell me.
