It's not a simple matter of the weather being warmer when you step outside every day. This is a relatively rapid change in global temperature on an archaeological scale, and the downstream consequences could be significant.

If you want to compare it with catastrophic climate changes in pre-human times, go ahead. But that's far more likely to damage your argument than help it because they were far more catastrophic, up to and including mass extinction events.
Normally we study climate change on the scale of 10s to 100s of millions of years.
This current change in CO2 concentration is unprecedented because it happened in the span of a century. 5-6 orders of magnitude faster than anything previously.
It's so fast, it looks like an impulse on any graph with historical data: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...
