The current weather isn't the primary indicator.
It's the CO2 levels and ocean surface temperatures.
We are in the middle of a slightly warmer period in the middle of an ice age. Exactly what this huge CO2 spike is going to do remains to be seen, but there is absolutely no doubt that it's going to do something that causes climate change. It's already begun to. (Plus, it's wiping out the shellfish).
When the climate changes, this causes problems for us. Big problems.
It makes NO DIFFERENCE whether we caused it all, or contributed to it, etc. It's irrelevant. We're going to have to deal with it regardless.
Sure, we're in the middle of an ice age. Sure, the Earth has been a LOT hotter than it is now...magnitudes warmer. Life at present is adapted to the current climate range. When that changes, everything else has to change too. It's going to be pretty ugly in the meantime.
Life will go on, but it will never be the same...not even close.
