The LIA had three minima, the first being the deepest about 1650, another about 1700 and the last about 1850. So one could date the warming trend to about 1650. The industrial revolution started in western Europe in the late 1700's (say the 1780's or so), in north America in the early 1800's, in Japan in the mid-late 1800's, in China in the 1980's, etc. It was powered mostly by coal till the early 1900's and oil use really took off after the Great Depression and WWII. Even in the first century and a half of the industrial era, fossil fuel use was pretty small compared to today. IOW temperatures began rising out of the LIA BEFORE the industrial era and have continued throughout it.
