A) Can we prove that the planet won't go back to normal on it's own? No

B) Can we prove that, other than a few odd weather anomalies, global warming is actually having any disasterous effect on the earth? No

A) You can't prove a negative - this is the fake strawman usually used by people who lack basic scientific training to understand or unwilling to see a problem.

B) This is _very easy_ to prove and has been proven time after time in many smaller and larger scale ecosystems with painstaking rsearch.

And yes, I actually HAVE met people (already many years ago) from the US house of representatives whose lines of reasoning was the following: "I don't have to care for the environment. The apocalypse is near and I as a good christian will be going to heaven etc etc.". It is very frightening to see these people seem to multiply faster than is acceptable.
