So why not be safe and give it the benifit of the doubt. You can't even see God... but people still go to church. Why? Just in case the skeptics are wrong.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Pascal's wager is so packed full of logical fallacies, I don't even know where to begin.

Manbearpig is not real. Al Gore has used to sell you on his religion, the same irrational argument Pascal did to sell his.

Same with mine. Mine miraculously survived the Caribbean for thousands of years and my ancestors from Spain somehow lived through the 95-100 degree summers with scorching sun with no problem across the generations

I wanna see how many of those people are Northerners I don't get you people from the North. You want to move south to escape winters, yet keep yourselves holed up in your air conditioned houses 24/7 for months.

We didn't get AC until 68. It's no hotter now than it was in the 50s.

We never had AC when I went to school, how did we survive???

You can see the scaring of such ice masses on granite stones protruding to the surface in Central Park, NYC.

Other time, the earth's climate is much warmer.

The reasons are manifold, and sometimes accumulate and sometimes cancel each other out, but include solar output levels, tilt of earth's axis, shape and location of orbit etc.,

To try to crush society, and it's economic endeavors by such scare tactics as blaming these natural and normal climate swings on mankind is disgraceful, but the stuff liberals are made of.
Incredibly, no mention of the use of fossil fuels in your "analysis"

The Dumbing Down rolls on, stronger than ever......
