> <...> thing someone would do if they wanted to cherry pick their data to suit a case. <...> See for example the year without a summer (1816). _comes and cherry picks a single year to "prove" something_ > There are periods of human history where it was warmer than it is now. Yes, but you are talking about geologic time scale and extremely gradual changes compared to what we see now, which is just dozens of years. I recommend to watch this: ▶ this video
Well as far as Dan Britt's talk goes, trees haven't noticeably been adjusting for thousands of years. ▶ this video
Incidentally, yesterday I came across a great scientific talk that I think checked all the boxes here, and then some. 100k views+, but deserves an even larger audience IMO, could clear up some of the confusion about climate (the facts parts): Dan Britt - Orbits and Ice Ages: The History of Climate ▶ this video Obviously, I think this is a great talk since I find the topic interesting too. There is probably not much you can do if your audience is uninterested in the first place.
For anyone interested in finding out more about the last 50-60 million years of climate history I would strongly recommend this talk: ▶ this video
