Indeed you ARE in serious denial of the facts if you continue to deny
the following:
~~ Global Instrumental Temperature Record ~~
The instrumental temperature record shows the fluctuations of the
temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans as measured by
temperature sensors. Currently, the longest-running temperature record
is the Central England temperature data series, that starts in 1659. -

Global records databases
Currently, the Hadley Centre maintains the HADCRUT3, a global surface
temperature dataset,[2]
See Hadley Centre Charts:

NASA maintains GISTEMP, which provides a measure of the changing
global surface temperature with monthly resolution for the period
since 1880[3]
See NASA Charts:

...The NOAA maintains the Global Historical Climatology Network
(GHCN-Monthly) data base contains historical temperature,
precipitation, and pressure data for thousands of land stations
worldwide.[4]

SUMMARY: *All* of the above data shows global warming over the last
century.
