You can always find quotes from people who are off in their estimates, but even a glance at the data [0] should convince you that things are not going well and that all of these predictions were at the very least directionaly correct.
Genuine question, have you never looked at the actual data behind those claims, or have you seen it and still don't find it convincing? My practice has been that whenever I see a sensational headline (or even academic article), I go dig up the underlying data and see if it's convincing. While undoubtedly media reporting is sensationalist (both direction depending on the news), it didn't take long plotting a wide range of different data sets to convince me that things are not looking good.
And that was ~10 years ago. I've personally been shocked how rapidly the climate has measurably and visibly impacted human life since then.
