Okay well, let's say your right. What would be the issue in putting recourses in fighting these causes even if it does not help. Would we really be worse off?
Now let's say i am right and we do nothing? We would be screwed. We basically already are because not enough is happening right now in these crucial years the reverse climate change or saving animal habitats duo to dying corral reaves, dessartation in North China or deforestation.
In my country (which is below sea level) there are poles everywhere in the water where you can measure the water levels yourself. Trust me water levels are higher now.
(I am not denying the cycle btw, I am saying it's sped up tremendously)

If fighting the “cause” hurts the lifestyle of the populace for no benefit then it shouldn’t be done.
I’m all for saving habitat, increasing efficiency, reducing waste, etc. As I said, I’m an ecologist and a conservationist, not an environmentalist.
The best way to achieve these goals is to INCREASE global standard of living, not reduce it. Education is important. When I was a kid people thought nothing of throwing trash out the window while driving. Now almost nobody does it because an information campaign put the thought in the public’s mind that clean beats littered.
I’ve studied this stuff my whole life and at the end of the day we are not going to make things better by turning into a bunch of Chicken Littles.
The cycle is measured in centuries (millennia) not years. You don’t have the data to know which way it’s going yet, never mind the speed of reversal.
Water levels are higher now compared to what? When your country was underwater? It happened before it will happen again. Move.
