Because there was no preindustrial age climate change - unless you go back about a quarter of a billion years to the Permian-Triassic extinction. I'm not a fan of that, are you?

Now note that by "climate change", I don't mean the ongoing variation produced by things like the Milankovic cycles, but change produced by dumping large amounts of CO2 into the system.

History has shown us a cooler climate only results in more famine and petulance.
Sure, and this explains why sub-Saharan Africa and the Amazon Basin are historically the most prosperous places on Earth, doesn't it? And why the Industrial Revolution started in NORTHERN Europe, why the North won the Civil War...

And what you have against petulance is beyond me. Could it be that you are as ignorant of spelling, vocabulary, and the use of dictionaries as you are of basic science, and really meant to say that cooler climates create more pestilence, "a contagious or infectious epidemic disease that is virulent and devastating"? Well, this may surprise you (that ignorance showing again) but pestilence & infectious disease in general is far more common in hot climates than in cooler ones.
