1. There is real scientific proof of global warming caused by GHGs in the form of spectrometry both terrestrial and satellite.
First you need something to compare it to. What are you comparing these spectrometry readings to?

Or you could use commonsense and look at glaciers in retreat almost everywhere.
And then look at the early 20th century records at look at glacier retreat, or look at newspaper reports of tree stumps being revealed by retreating glaciers, Roman mines etc. Then you would see it has happened before.

Or you could look at Greenland which is losing MASSIVE amounts of ice every melt season.
You still haven't pointed us to the paper saying Greenland is suffering NET ice loss. But then again you could look at barley. Grown by the Vikings and now being grown again. So Greenland has cooled and warmed. What is its "normal" temperature?

Or you could read the BuMet State of the Climate 2016 report.
Which basically says it has warmed since 1970. Bushfire season has been early in some of the same period. What it doesn't tell you; bushfire season has occurred early approximately 25% of the time since about 1926, to where the current early bushfire extends to.
