And none of those conspiracy theories have anything to do with the science of human induced climate change
And none of those alleged conspiracy theories have anything to do with the theory of human induced climate change.
Fixed it for you.

Yes, who to believe?
An actual scientist who has studied these matters for a large part of their lives
Or some keyboard warrior blogging political emotive nonsense
You mean like the 90 odd climate scientists who wrote the SR5 report?
"Since 1970 the global average temperature has been rising at a rate of 1.7°C per century, compared to a long-term decline over the past 7,000 years at a baseline rate of 0.01°C per century (NOAA 2016, Marcott et al. 2013)."
http://report.ipcc.ch/sr15/pdf/sr15_chapter1.pdf When the Marcott said this in reply to a query about the last 100 years -
Our global paleotemperature reconstruction includes a so-called “uptick” in temperatures during the 20th-century. However, in the paper we make the point that this particular feature is of shorter duration than the inherent smoothing in our statistical averaging procedure, and that it is based on only a few available paleo-reconstructions of the type we used. Thus, the 20th century portion of our paleotemperature stack is not statistically robust, cannot be considered representative of global temperature changes, and therefore is not the basis of any of our conclusions. "

Drawing an inference specifically denied by Marcott.
This is allegedly from scientists who actually studied the science.
Let's see you turn that into a "conspiracy theory".
Or perhaps misrepresentation is the "new" science.
