I believe climate change considers the whole earth, not just SF. The reason I chose the UK is they have some of the longest climate records, along with parts of Europe, such as Upsalla, Berlin, Paris. etc., allowing longer term analysis, not only of temperature, but sea levels, growing seasons, crop failures etc. 

Speaking of Realclimate, if that site still has the "Borehole", you might find some of my comments still there.  Many of my comments ended up in their "file 13" bin, never to see the light of day.  As far as "peer review", I believe Nature had an article that a significant number of "peer reviewed" papers that have results that cannot be replicated & are not significant. People get "perks" for publishing the number of papers, not quality.     

Climate4you also has ref. to the same data, similar to woodfortrees.org & others. 

The term "climate denial" reminds me of a quote by Kierkegaard, using labels to demean those of different opinions.
