In case you're unaware of it, the "hockey stick" shaped temperature
reconstruction for the last 1000 year has largely been validated. There
were reservations about the original statistical methods used, and (as
is usual) the scientific approach quite correctly identified these
problems. However, after correction for methodology, the general shape
remains the same- most especially the rapid increase since about 1850.

Global warming denier: a fool who allows himself to be beaten on the
head with a real hockey stick, while blithely stating that it doesn't
hurt because it's imaginary. And with every hit, a few more brain cells
bite the dust...
