The climate used to change, thats why the planet had ice ages, etc.
We’re now trying to stop that, and “lock” the planet into an interglacial high.
An unstable quasi- ice age status, because that’s what best suits humans.
Kinda arrogant, but also pointless to try it now. Why not just do that when we have the means to do it easily?
Climate changed naturally over a long time. Thousands of years.
What we do now is happening on a fraction of that scale.
If these events are unnatural, then we are not really trying to “lock” ourselves into anything, rather trying to slow to what would have been if we didn’t screw around in the first place.
I do agree that it would be arrogant to stop natural climate change over the thousands of years that it normally took place. But we’re not doing that.
I would make the argument that the current stage doesn’t actually best suit humans. With some more C02 in the air, the earths poles will warm and we can flourish in even more area.
