Of course. The climate has been substantially different in the past than it is now, and no doubt will continue to change well into the future. What is dangerous is the
rate of change.
3 degrees difference spread over 10 000 years? No big deal, that's a natural cycle which the earth and its biodiversity can totally handle.
Mass-extinction event (our fault), reducing bio-diversity + 1 or 2 degrees difference spread over 100 years? That is one seriously big effing problem.
