<<Throughout history, the scientific establishment often has had to be dragged kicking and screaming into paradigm change. It was true in Galileo's time>> I think you've got it backwards here. With regards to Galileo....he was persecuted for daring to suggest that Copernicus was correct i.e. that the earth is not the center of the universe. The mighty ESTABLISHMENT had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the realization that THEY were wrong. <<Does anyone wonder how scientists can be so sure the world is warming up alarmingly, when the thermometer was invented only 300 years ago?>> Dendrochronology and isotopic variations in ice cores are most commonly applied proxies for evaluating further back in time.
