The basic premise is sound, though. Humans have only inferences for temperature data going back through Earth's history with ever-greater margins of error the further back one goes, and only roughly 200 years of somewhat-accurate temperature data measurements.
200 years of somewhat-accurate data but where from? Of course, we have somewhat-accurate data from the middle of a large continent like Africa, don't we? Oh shit, we don't, so let's use some kind of analogue instead and massage those figures into shape. Rinse & repeat for huge areas of the planet.
Then tell me, from your absurdly inadequate models, that you know what the climate is going to be like in a 100 years time because 95% of "climate scientists" (whatever the hell one of those is) agree on it.
95% of computer users think that Windows is a good OS. That doesn't make that true either.
Such "climate heresy" doesn't fly in universities though just through pure social pressure; your academic career will be toast if you don't go with the orthodoxy and you will also be a social pariah, for good measure. Every reason to go with the flow, even though that impulse may likely be subconscious.
