If natural cycles can interrupt, or even reverse climate change...

...then obviously they are more powerful than any other trends. More importantly, they demonstrate they are far more powerful than anything mankind can do, either intentionally or accidentally, even over the course of decades. There, done. Global Warming is off the table.

Even if you still cling to the belief that man has caused some kind of climate change (up, down, or sideways) nature is demonstrating that we don't matter. So it would be audaciously naive to think we could affect the climate long term even if we wanted to be so bold and foolish as to try.

Years ago, there were shysters that claimed to be able to cause rain by boiling off various vapors into the atmosphere, and actually got paid for it, iirc. Nowadays, we have shysters who claim that other people's boiling fumes don't just cause a storm, they change the whole planetary climate. But other things remain equal — they still get paid, and they're still shysters.
