I fail to see the arguments put out by some people on Talk of the Villages. If the earth is on a cycle we will all be dead by the end of it. I mean humans and a 100,000 year cycle. Global warming will have killed us.
We are going to hell in a handbasket and should be doing everything in our power to stop it. Cycle or not.

That said I am all for maintaining a clean environment which would require worldwide cooperation. Any meaningful atmospheric cleanup would need to start with China. Good luck with that! The deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has been a huge factor so that needs to be reversed as well to get more oxygen back in the atmosphere. Also getting the plastic islands out of the oceans and cleaning them up is important.
Of course there is nothing we can do about changes in the earth's orbit around the sun, the temperature of the sun and the earth's perturbations.

I think a stray large asteroid colliding with earth is more likely to end humankind than global warming.
