Oh, and Nicholas's so-called peer reviewed journal is a Micky Mouse affair, lying about its impact

I can hardly believe you are "quoting" Nicholas Hulscher (the former dental technician - until 2023) who co-authors with the utterly discredited Andrew Wakefield.
But I can believe it.

Confusing Greenland warming vs global warming
<p>This argument uses temperatures from the top of the Greenland ice sheet. This data ends in 1855, long before modern global warming began. It also reflects regional Greenland warming, not global war...

Factcheck: What Greenland ice cores say about past and present climate change
A misleading graph purporting to show that past changes in Greenland’s temperatures dwarf modern climate change has been circling the internet since at least 2010.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the reserves were created BY the government and, effectively, gifted to the banks, weren't they?

You might also consider that quoting ONLY one set of measurements (from Greenland Gisp2) is rather like only taking the Earth's temperature in the Sahara.
As soon as you look more globally, you see that your 'gotcha graph' is counterbalanced by data from Antarctica.
And you still haven't read this..

But the graph is showing you results from ONE series of ice cores from Greenland. More recent analysis has shown how variable this data is, how it has needed to be adjusted since because, for example, cores were taken at different elevations. In addition many people misunderstand the X axis...

So you haven't read the science then? Anthropogenic warming may spiral out of control. With a larger global population, more people than ever are living in marginal places that will be increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather effects and flooding all whilst agricultural yields may collapse.
