Climate alarmism is not based on observation, it is based on predictions generated by climate models. This article by computer modeler Greg Chapman at Watts Up With That is a good primer on why those models are inherently unreliable, and in fact have been shown to be wrong:

The purpose of this article is to explain to the non-expert, how climate models work, rather than a focus on the issues underlying the actual climate science, since the models are the primary ‘evidence’ used by those claiming a climate crisis. The first problem, of course, is no model forecast is evidence of anything. It’s just a forecast, so it’s important to understand how the forecasts are made, the assumptions behind them and their reliability.

You really need to read the whole thing, but this is a summary of the chief points:

In summary:

* Climate models can’t be validated on initiatialisation due to lack of data and a chaotic initial state.

* Model resolutions are too low to represent many climate factors.

* Many of the forcing factors are parameterised as they can’t be calculated by the models.

* Uncertainties in the parameterisation process mean that there is no unique solution to the history matching.

* Numerical dispersion beyond the history matching phase results in a large divergence in the models.

* The IPCC refuses to discard models that don’t match the observed data in the prediction phase – which is almost all of them.
