Anyone whos in their late 20's-early 30's at this point remembers the rebranding from global warming to climate change and then to climate emergency. I remember many years ago when they rolled out a bunch of kids at the UN to make doomsday predictions about climate change.
I'm sure on average over the next few thousand years the climate will warm up somewhat. The earth currently is in one of its deepest ever ice ages. The last 3 million years have been one of the most brutal ice ages the planet has experienced probably since the end Carbiniferous.
In the grand scheme of things geologically a couple million years from now they might well notice that over 50,000 years there were radical changes to the earths climate followed by a missed ice age and radical changes in terms of land use changes, early humans burned large areas of forrest for hunting and primitive agriculture and have made significant changes to land use patterns with farming and grazing - the camel and horse went extinct in the Americas only to return. They'll also notice a lot of the continental mega fauna seemed to go extinct and there will probably be seed and spore evidence for mono crops and large scale damage to top soils in ocean sediments as well as certain chemical deposits and radiological signatures in sediments as well as probably junk made out of stainless steel or titanium and there will be one hell of a layer of calcium carbonate laid down over the next 100,000 years as carbon is recycled into the oceans. Overall though - nothing remarkable in the geological grand scheme.
Probably not as extreme as an event around 55 million years ago called the PETM where earths climate warmed dramatically to the point there were crocs in the arctic ocean only for things to go back to more average almost as quickly.
