That's not the benefit of science. The benefit of science is that it allows us to test and understand the empirical world and create predictive laws. And no, people didn't believe the earth was static before evolution and geology.
As for climate change, it is perceptible to us. We can actually see the changes - whether it is to glaciers or even crops growing in regions or for longer than previously.
Your messianic "alarm" may be alarming but that's not science is it? It's more fearmongering religion or cult. Throughout history, temperatures have risen and changed. Climate changed occurred before the industrial revolution. Interesting isn't it? We are still around. Sadly, the science of climate change isn't advanced enough for us to scientifically say why these changes happened definitely. That is the honest answer. We have some idea, but nothing definitive. We don't know the degree to which humans affect the climate. All I know is that climate "scientists" peddling political fear have been wrong over and over again. All for what? Because a bunch of greedy globalists are peddling fear to get the human population to accept taxation? So the logic is greedy globalists caused global warming to enrich themselves and therefore we need to reward them by taxing everyone on earth?
I know you are "alarmed" and the world is going to end soon. You should let the banks know so they stop lending out money on 30, 40, 50, 100 years mortgages. You should let the industrialists know so they'll stop planning on using the northwest passage and the arctic as new trade routes decades from now. You should let international organizations planning olympics, world cups, etc decades from now to stop since the world is ending.
