We know for sure that the average temperatures have risen higher in the last 40 years than they have ever before. We know this is not natural. We know that prior to the 70s the world was cooling.
Reversing climate change is an aim to make society and the world better as a whole. Not for "control".
Also relevant, a few times in the Pleistocene, 20,000 years ago, temperatures peaked a couple degrees hotter than they are now.

This could be a year over year increase in maximum, with a very small slope too
Limiting our interference in this natural process will necessitate vast methods and quantities of 'control'. Nevertheless, it should be done. And fortunately, this process will herald a new economic expansion providing jobs and creativity outlets for countless people worldwide.
Irrespective of the nature of climate change, humans are humans and a crisis or enemy, if you will, will always be an opportunity for people to assert control. The difficult task is understanding when that control is a reasonable response to the crisis and when the crisis is an excuse to assert control. This is not an exclusive choice, both types of efforts can be going on simultaneously.
We seem to have become numb to the large numbers that are now thrown around as part of defining public policy. When you start manipulating multiple trillions of dollars it is naive to think that isn't an opportunity for manipulation of all sorts.
This is untrue.
