You asked your question in good faith, so I'll reply in kind.
"The top 10 warmest years on record occurred in the past 15 years"
This is simply not supported by data. The 1930's had many years of higher temps. They have been revising the data to fit their narrative. There are also some serious issues with how global temperature is measured, including the "heat sink" bias of having the ever-decreasing measuring sites being located in cities and in terrible locations impacted by proximity to buildings/pavement.
We just finished a 20 year period of no warming at all.
"Average global temperatures have risen 1.2 C (2.16 F) since the 1910s"
Again, not accurate, but more important is the arbitrary choice of time period you start measuring from. The world was always going to warm in the 20th century because we were coming out of the Little Ice Age in the 19th century.
"Average global temperatures have risen 0.4 C (0.72 F) just between the 2000s and 2010s"
I hate being repetitive, but the same arguments I used above apply here.
If you want to do a deep dive into my sources, I'd recommend:

The big issue with the "climate models" is that they completely ignore the effects of things like Solar Flares and Cosmic Rays which have a much bigger impact on temperatures than any Greenhouse Gas effect.
Not only that, but a strong case can be made using history that mankind thrives in warmer periods.
Thanks for the link. The provided site appears to be a lot to study.
Many, including me, have been convinced by the media that climate change is an existential threat, and that radical adjustments must be made to stop it. If that's true, then things like an effective global carbon tax seem necessary; however, the Paris Climate Agreement seems ineffective and harmful to the West. The reliance on wind and solar instead of nuclear also seems questionable.
If climate change is false, a lot of people need to be convinced. In this case, we need something like Mike Lindell's short video (the one that's 16 minutes) summarizing the arguments accurately, succinctly, and in a way that equips the viewer for further study.
A point also needs to be made who and why manufactured the narrative we have accepted. Now that we see how blatantly the global media coordinated lying about Covid and the 2020 election, it is easier to see how the narrative could be false. However, there remains the question: if the narrative is fundamentally based on manipulated data, who originated it, and for what reason?
This is basically what broke the idea for me. A bunch of leaked emails from the big players in the early days of "global warming" show exactly how much they fucked with the data and the field in order to strive for predetermined conclusions.
Those videos have already been made. I'll go look for them and "circle back" to you later today.
The entire Climate Change movement was created by a Canadian named Maurice Strong (he's an interesting read) and implemented through the UN with a lot of help from Globalist think tanks and people like Soros. Their solutions to their made up problem were all about One World Government, and Climate Change was the mechanism they planned to use. Please note the similarities with how they scared us with Covid to consolidate power.
I once believed in Climate Change and even gave money to Greenpeace. After the ClimateGate emails came out about 12 years ago, it became obvious that the science was very flawed and the scientists very compromised. All research was controlled by the Cabal and you couldn't publish if you went against the accepted narrative. Sound familiar?
I will get you those videos today and I hope you draw the conclusions I have and help spread the word. I've long thought it was the best evidence of all that there is indeed a Globalist Cabal that will lie to get power.
Interesting! I would appreciate the videos if you can find them.
The globalist cabal has become very obvious to me with the election and Covid, but it was not obvious to me before. When people talked about it, it sounded like they're imagining patterns that do not exist. For lots of people, that remains the case even now, unfortunately.
It looks like you've got to pay for this one on YouTube. I saw it in the theaters. The creator, Marc Morano, has been at the forefront of exposing this for awhile and you can run a search for his name in YouTube to get a lot more content.
His website also has some pretty good content mixed in with some articles that appear to be clickbait to me. https://www.climatedepot.com
Lord Christopher Monckton - He's a very controversial figure in this argument and he's got a ton of videos and published papers. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGqcweY1a3I
Wattsupwiththat - I linked to this page earlier. There are a lot of great resources in the dropdown menus, and the site's founder, Anthony Watts, has done a lot of appearances: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=anthony+watts
Climate Audit - When you're ready to get really deep in the weeds, Stephen McIntyre's site is the place to go. He's a brilliant analyst and very intellectually honest. https://climateaudit.org
I've got a bunch more links saved on my other laptop if you want more, but this should be enough to keep you busy for awhile.
We are not saying the world hasn't warmed in the last century. It has, for many reasons, just not to the degree that they are alleging.
They are also assuming that Carbon is the "control knob" for our climate. It is not, and is more likely but a minor factor and evidence suggests that rising Carbon levels actually trails rising temperatures, not the other way around.
It is also important to note that they have never made a sound case for why warmer temperatures are a bad thing. We've got a Solar Minimum coming in the next 2 decades where global temps are likely to drop 2-3 degrees. We'll all be wishing for Global Warming at that point, and I only hope that real science is allowed to develop means for fighting that.
The truth is that we are in our infancy for understanding how our climate works, and pretending that we have anywhere near enough information to make an informed decision goes against all scientific processes and suggests an ulterior motive.
I was negligent earlier in not mentioning Dr. Willie Soon.
In my defense, I just couldn't remember his name. He explains my case better than I could ever do myself, and this video that I just dug up from my archives is pure gold.
I haven't watched this video in about a year, but am doing so now, and my recollection is that this is the dagger in the heart of this debate:

That happened at the same time that I realized just how dirty the Wall Street banks I was working for were.
Double dose of Red Pills right in the initial years of Obama. Yup, ClimateGate opened the eyes of many.
I'm adding your link to my collection.
Very interesting! Thank you!
This goes well with Climategate: 10 years later by McIntyre and McKitrick which u/War_Hamster linked.
I appreciate your open mind on the subject.

I just re-watched the Monckton video. Start with that one as he hits on a bunch of the points.
I would recommend starting with this document. It sums up the skeptics case very well: https://www.rossmckitrick.com/uploads/4/8/0/8/4808045/climategate.10yearsafter.pdf

Let me just clarify one thing:

OMG, this is amazing. I love this guy 😂
Cool. There's a bit of a story about how he's avoided being cancelled thus far that's worth digging into.
