I've watched climate change throughout my life and I haven't seen
anything when it comes to natural weather cycles even though I was
born in the middle of the last century. Introduce me to the 2000
year old man and have him tell me about climate change and perhaps
I'll take you more seriously. :-)

Go to any good science museum and look at the tree ring exhibit. Or
Google for the data from ice core samples. They have a pretty good
record of the swings going back a couple thousand years at this point,
at least as it is reflected in tree growth and winter snow deposits.
Trivial example- naming Greenland (aka Vinland) was not entirely a con
job. Vikings hit during a multi-decade heat wave, and it was a lot
greener when they first colonized. Modern records of any reliability
only go back a century or so.
