Proponents of human induced warming and climate change told us that an increase in CO2 precedes and causes temperature increases. They were wrong.
They told us the late 20th century was the warmest on record. They were wrong.
They told us, using the infamous “hockey stick” graph, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) did not exist. They were wrong.
They told us global temperatures would increase through 2008 as CO2 increased. They were wrong.

They told us 1998 was the warmest year on record in the US. They were wrong - it was 1934.
They told us current atmospheric levels of CO2 are the highest on record. They are wrong.
They told us pre-industrial atmospheric levels of CO2 were approximately 100 parts per million (ppm) lower than the present 385 ppm. They are wrong.
This last is critical because the claim is basic to the argument that humans are causing warming and climate change by increasing the levels of atmospheric CO2 and have throughout the Industrial era.
In fact, pre-industrial CO2 levels were about the same as today, but how did they conclude they were lower? In a paper submitted to the Hearing before the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski explains,

650 Scientists say no consensus on Global Warming.
Thanks. Do you have any past computer projections from the UN or NASA? As I recall,in the 90’s they were very specific about how hot it would today.
