Oh. So there is a global conspiracy to record fake temperatures?
Winters that are much colder than average don't fit with the global warming narrative so it got rebranded as climate change. Whatever it takes to keep the gravy train going. How you got that I implied there is a global conspiracy to record fake temperatures from my post before this one is anyone's guess.
There was also a rapid temperature spike to the upside a few hundred millions years back that was specifically posted on VCT, but only the industrial spike is not ignored (

Assume temperatures are real.
Then that means the global warming IS happening. Even you seem to refer to it below as "rapid" spike.
So how were goalposts needed to be moved given the truth is obvious?
From my understanding of your argument at the time, there is no global warming therefore the "goalposts had to be moved".
Otherwise why did they need to move the goalposts??
Their "goal" was and is unfortunately being met.
The people who fund this stuff aren't so simple they wouldn't notice the obvious.
So for global warming to not be real - the temperatures recorded have to be fake.
If they aren't fake then global warming is real so why in the fuck were any goalposts in need of moving !?! Does this make sense?
Regarding the rapid spike you reference a few hundred years ago. So lets put this in terms us APs can understand. We'll say 200,000,000 years instead of a few hundred - that is in your favor. Then we'll give us this temperature spike over the course of 200 years. So... I guess a 1 in a million shot was hit by all these scientists? Right outta the gate they nail a 1 in million shot. Wow!!!! Holy fuck! Just to clarify here, those are the odds that all these scientists are wrong about the whys of Earth Baking while randomly nailing the timeframe. Wheres Alan when I need him?
To me, the interesting thing is this idea of goalpost moving. Initially most anti-climate change people just said it was all bullshit. Now they've shifted their opinion to yes, we're warming but now it is either not manmade or won't make a difference. I guess there is personal cognitive goalpost for everyone. Some people like to challenge their beliefs, some are the opposite.
It also comes down to this most unfortunate idea that somehow science is the new tyrant. That it should all be disbelieved regardless of any context. Your first opinion should be to call bullshit then see how it personally affects you before it is accepted. It is unfortunate. I'm not arguing against skepticism but this sorta goes beyond skepticism. Science has always had funders and things of that nature. There are reasons the smartest figure out who the smartest are and they all listen to each other. This is how we've progressed as a species in addition to directly from capitalism. Now? hahahahahahah,............
