Any scientific report, study or data collection and analysis MUST be accompanied with an accepted calculation of statistical significance. Anything not supported by robust statistical significance IS NOT REAL and IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC STUDY. At the best it is opinion, at the worse, propaganda.... It is not up to the "deniers" to prove anything. Any real scientist knows that as the proposer of a theory it is up to them, the proposer, to support their theory with robust and acceptable demonstrations of statistical significance. Even political polls are accompanied by a degree of error statement; something as important as "climate change" MUST be supported by the numbers and those numbers expressed to a reasonable degree of significance. Emotive statements and cherry picked data and time horizons are the work of charlatans not scientists.
