The entirety of human civilization is basically nothing in terms of the planet's history. That doesn't make it less important to me though.

to me it’s an important aspect. try as we might, we’ll still be subject to planetary forces outside of our control.
the planet is warming. we can delay it for a bit, but the planet will continue to warm no matter what we do.
of course we should manage our impact on the planet. but this will represent just a small delay in the grand scheme of things. a few generations, maybe even a few thousand years as you’ve put it.
but a multi generational effort to tackle either moving to a different planet or something like living underground will be needed.
unfortunately our extremely limited existence will make these efforts extremely hard to tackle.
