My point has been that our ecosystem has measures in place where equilibrium is sought.

Well, even if many global warming proponents are a little unjustifiably alarmist, this is unjustifiably optimistic. If at all you suggest their dire predictions are unjustified, you are guilty of the same here.
Historical evidence brings to bear periods of mass extinctions and radical ecosystem changes from relatively minor climate blips when compared with some predictions of global warming. So there's plenty of good evidence to suggest that its not just going to be more roses and sunshine, even if global warming causes a temporary swing of the pendulum that eventually gets brought back to equilibrium. The faster the changes, the less able the ecosystems we depend on will be able to adapt, and will be potentially wrecked in the process.
