But we can't just discard the data because some of the past predictions on other issues were not bang on, don't forget that sheer massive amount of data, observation and what we've learned in the last 10-20 years.

The problem goes on and on and on with the trust of the data, is it robust or is it bunk even though its peer reviewed? There are a lot of credible people calling bull on the warming data who have no financial or political skin in the game. Some of these people are just stats junkies who have repeatedly shown the warming data or the timeline of warming to be skewed.
Climateaudit.org is an interesting site to read to dig down below the headline grabbing nonsense that is often pushed out.
