Humans have been predicting this since the Industrial Revolution. Global cooling wasn't much of a thing in the 1970's, that was a look at cycles of ice ages without much modeling behind it.
Our preferred climate is over, we're into new territory now.

have our elites shown that they are competent and trustworthy enuf to be trusted with handling global warming, oops, I mean climate change?
clearly they have not shown that...
There are long-term, short-term natural processes as well as human processes impacting it. Even the sun has cycles which impact Earth's climate on scales we don't fully understand.
I definitely think we are not approaching ways to keep our current (preferred) climate intact the best we can. The focus seems to be more on low-impact, feel-good solutions rather than the difficult, high-impact solutions. I for one would like to see a lot more money going into R&D for H2O desalination and CO2 sequestration.
