As with quoting old science research, keeping up with current observations provides a far more accurate assessment of what is going on.
What is your opinion in relation to 1998 which has been used as a datum point by deniers?
In the 1970s it was possible to have a walking/sleding expedition to travel across sea ice in the Arctic Ocean to reach the North Pole, why is that not possible now?
Last Northern Hemisphere winter a ship built with the capacity to travel through sea ice about 2 meters thick was able to make a passage, that would not have been possible in the past. Prior to that a yacht had been able to sail both passages of the fabled North West passage in a single season, not able to be done before hand.
In the 1970s the science produced by/ or for fossil fuel corporations, indicated that they were stating that global warming would happen. There were some scientists who wrote about an ice age, but they were in a minority. I was in my 20s at the time when climate change was written about, an impending ice age was hardly discussed. Had normal cyclic climatic events have occurred we should have been on our way towards an ice age. What went wrong, Lego?
How do your comments fit in with what is happening with the Totten Glacier? Check which part of Antarctica it sits!

In relation to Chris Turney, I remember writing about how deniers were Admirals in their own bath tubs at the time.

You say .. "Those entrusted with pearls are honest not like the gw scammers and fraudsters."
Where is your evidence, all you have done is put together a few words without any evidence ??
