This sort of perspective, while true, doesn't seem very germane to the conversation of our current, rapid, and human caused climate change. We collectively will have to deal with that (or die out, I suppose) and understanding it and how to mitigate effects seems to be the sensible response.

Understanding that the planet, if not the current biological configuration, is likely to be around much longer that we are doesn't seem to add much; at least to me.

This does not invalidate calling it "global warming". Just because it's happened before doesn't mean it's not happening now. When you hit the gas, do you restrict yourself from saying that the car's speed is increasing just because it's increased before?

Then what name would you suggest?
