But how many good measurements do we have from centuries ago? Maybe the cold blob is normal. Just everyday climate chaos.

I was considering the optimum time frame for the doomsday industry.

If you predict disaster in two years, you won't have time to publish books and make many TED talks. And when it doesn't happen, it's bad for the economics.

I you predict wipeout in 200 years, most people won't care.

The concensus seems to converge on predicting doom in 10 to 15 years.

It doesn't seem to be, no matter how much you might like to think that.

The word is consensus, and you are talking about a particular branch of the book publishing industry.

Anthropogenic global warming is a scientific fact, and scientists get promoted because the tales they tell educate and inform their already well-informed audience (of which you aren't a member).

You seem to a member of the gullible twit audience for a whole range of nonsense, which does include climate change denial propaganda. Do keep reminding us of your prominent position in that group. There are quite a lot of them. Donald J. Trump is an even more prominent member, and you do emphasise the features you share with him. He does have more money, but he does promote even more fautuous nonsense (though Trump University did get shut down as an excessively obvious fraud).
