If we stopped emitting carbon dioxide perhaps things would equalize in a few thousand years. But we’re still emitting carbon and the changes we’re most concerned about are those in 100 years. Those changes will lead to permanent destruction of various human constructed environments, major changes to weather patterns that devastate regions that have been farming for millennia, and the complete extinction of certain animal species. Whether or not the climate would balance out a few thousand years from now is really not the major concern of climate scientists, it’s what’s going to happen to our world a lifetime from now.
