Natural warming is not happening at nearly the rate of anthropogenic warming (actually, aren't we on the downhill side of that curve?), and the warming that has occurred already, in combination with other issues like deforestation and habitat encroachment, have already obliterated huge chunks of most ecosystems. We can't go back to a world without anthropogenic effects, but we need to minimize any future impacts because we've already made such a mess of things.
