We need to think like a planet.  There are many planets. Many, many, many planets.  In recent years, 128 multiple planetary systems have been discovered as of March 22, 2013, according to Wikipedia  Precious few of these have been touched by life.

Life may not be unique to Earth, but it's the only planet we know of for now that has life.  The other planets in our solar system are not resentful of that fact. I don't think Venus mopes around wishing it had life on it. I don't think it would be right to say that Venus were mean-spirited either for not allowing it.  Is it worse than Earth because it doesn't have life. Earth after all is a mother that cares for her children.

I don't think the other planets in our solar system and the universe care much about life either. They never even once whiffed the the faintest sweetness of life. They don't miss it, they don't yearn for it, and they're not trying to get it.  Neither was Earth.

When the first very primitive life forms arose on earth, I don't think Earth reacted like some human female who just gave birth to her little miracle.  She didn't coddle it and she didn't nurse it or protect it or wrap it swaddling clothing.  The earth didn't mourn the Permian extinction. It didn't notice and it didn't care.  When the dinosaurs arose from the ancient amphibians, the earth didn't rejoice in their majesty and terror. And when the first Hominins walked the plains of Africa, the earth didn't jump for joy and shout "Hooray! the humans are finally here!"

That's the way of planets.

Earth doesn't really care about global warning, or any kind of climate change for that matter, either.  Life doesn't care about global warming because global warming is of no threat to life on earth whatsoever. The "Great Dying" at the end of the Permian period wiped out as much as 99% of life on Earth.  Yet life persisted and flourished. At the end of the Cretaceous (the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs) saw 75% of all species wiped out. And thank God! If it weren't for the Cretaceous extinction, the mammals would never have spread out and eventually become humans.

Let's look at the beaver. when the first beavers started building dams in the remote past, their neighbors might have stood around protesting: "Hey! What the hell are you doing?  You're detroying habitat! you're wiping out species who used to live here. I can't nest on the ground anymore! My borrows flooded! The bugs I eat are all leaving!"

Now those beaver ponds make valuable communities. aquatic insects depend on the water. Wading birds, kingfishers, and ducks depend on them. amphibians live and breed in them. Countless animals go to them to drink.

Global warming may threaten certain species. It may even threaten the survival of humans. But it is absolutely no consequence to life on Earth or the planet itself.  Nature has a marvelous self-correcting mechanism called evolution. If something goes extinct, something else will evolve to fill the niche.

There is absolutely no evidence that global warming is bad. That is a sentimental, egocentric human perspective that the world ought to stay the same as the one we grew up in and learned to love. Nature is not sentimental. Nature doesn't care about you, me, or any other living thing on Earth.

Human beings will adapt or perish The position that the Earth is our mother and loves us and we should love it back or it will be offended or insulted in some way is a lie.  It's a quaint way of educating that preserving our living space, food and water sources, and air are important. But it is not a serious position scientifically or realistically. Human beings will adapt to the changes in the world or die. and who knows, if there is another great extinction (and inevitably there will be whether humans cause it or not), something better than us might come along.
