There has actually been a slight cooling trend over the last 8000 years, prior to the Industrial Revolution, due to orbital factors (Milankovitch forcing). This can be seen in the image linked to below, which is a compilation of two paleo reconstructions (Shakun et al & Marcott et al), instrumental data, and a projected warming scenario for the 21st century.

I really hope you’re right… but sadly I don’t think you are. There is now scientific consensus (apart from a tiny number of apologists funded by the oil industry) and governments worldwide are now recognising that this can’t be denied.
Look at it this way: if there’s even a small likelihood of catastrophe, the potential damage is so massive that we must act. But the likelihood of catastrophe (if we do nothing) is not small; it is extremely high.
