The only people whose position on climate change has never adjusted is the 'sceptics and that's because their position isn't based on science but politics.

So the science doesn't show that the climate has always changed, all by itself. Eg A large chunk of North America(including Manhattan Island) was well and truly buried under an ice sheet, a matter of thousands of years ago. How could that be, if Man and the Industrial Age were supposed to be responsible. That is Science, not politics.

Laurentide Ice Sheet, principal glacial cover of North America during the Pleistocene Epoch (about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago). At its maximum extent it spread as far south as latitude 37° N and covered an area of more than 13,000,000 square km (5,000,000 square miles). In some areas its thickness reached 2,400–3,000 m (8,000–10,000 feet) or more.

In New York, the ice that covered Manhattan was about 2,000 feet high before it began to melt in about 16,000 BC. The ice in the area disappeared around 10,000 BC. The ground in the New York area has since risen by more than 150 ft because of the removal of the enormous weight of the melted ice.[10]

Changing your claims to fit what actually happens, is politics and not science.
