Comes with the assumption that this is a "cyclical" trend and temps will go up so we can enjoy wine and lobster and then back down again

That's wrong. The MWP was the North Atlantic specifically being 1 degree above avg levels. We're now probably at a global 2 degrees up

As a pessimist I like to believe we won't stop until we burn all the oil in the ground and go back to the climate before fossil fuels

Can't help but wonder how much of this is tied to the religious belief that Earth was created for us to enjoy

We're pretty likely to discover soon just how hard life is on a mildly "alien" Earth, never mind a completely alien world

So you're saying the future sucks, even if it's science fiction. My mellow is well and truly harshed.
