From 1965 - 1979 there were only 7 scientific papers predicting a cooling climate. Compared to 42 predicting human caused global warming (Peterson 2008). Since then the global average temperature has climbed to 1.8F above preindustrial levels. It's warmer now than it has been in over 100,000 years and those scientists who predicted warming 50 years ago accurately forecasted Earth would be this warm by now with the co2 levels we have. The hypocrisy to claim Paleo-climate reconstruction is cherry picked, but to also claim there's evidence that it was warmer in the past. Which seems to always rely on cherry picked local data which isn't indicative of global average temperatures. I'm sorry, but I'll continue to rely on the peer reviewed climate reconstructions over the blog posts of climate deniers. Multiple different teams of scientists have come to the same conclusion independently that current temps are above anything seen in the holocene and rates of warming are unprecedented. If you want to gamble the future of humanity on the longshot bet that an entire field of science is wrong, but that the fossil fuel industry funded bloggers who oppose them are right then you're bad at risk analysis.
