Tree growth rings disprove that the earth is warmer now than during Roman times and or even 1000 years ago.

Part of the question is, assuming the globe is warming, on a global
scale is that even a problem? In historical times there have been
times that the globe was warmer than it is now, and it was not a
problem before.
Chicken little says it very well could be a problem. There is a lot of
mass here, and a little warming is easily absorbed. The question may be
whether there is a tipping point, and where that is. Little ice ages and
warmer periods have occurred regularly (Pinatubo eruption had a small but
measurable effect). The real Cassandras say that if the arctic thaws, so
much methane may get released from frozen hydrates that we will get big
warming on a global scale. Etc, etc.
