Eureka, if you want you can have a small group of nomadic scientists. Great, so when it happens I can point out how that either wouldn't have happened, or they'd have noticed, then I'm still completely bereft of a decent idea, and no further towards any form of reasonable dismissal.

Brilliant. If you want, there could be a few scientists who saw the signs (which happened over such a long period of time, it was very hard to notice). But they would have been regarded as madmen and shunned from science after they went public, If you haven't noticed, climate change is also an extremely slow process. They still notice when something is going wrong. And if it's nearing the tipping point, it really does stop being so invisible. Even exponential functions don't just appear to jump in extremes at first. There's a build up.
