"As far as I can tell, there's no other record of any other natural phenomenon on this Earth (climate change related or otherwise), that has been consistently recorded, in writing, more-or-less annually, for the past 1,000+ years. "
We don't need humans to record something in writing. Evidence from physical processes can be used to infer historical climate and temperature, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleothermometer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleothermometer as a starting point.
- jaza 5y ago(author here) No, we don't need humans to record something in writing. But the point I was trying to make, is that maybe there are climate change sceptics out there who will discard any and all evidence that wasn't recorded in writing by humans, as "unreliable scientific mumbo jumbo". But they can't discard this particular evidence for having that particular fault (although such folk will no doubt still end up denying this particular evidence, on account of its other faults, of which I admit there are a number).
