All climatologists believed in global warming in the year 1900.
Papers Past — Hawera & Normanby Star — 30 June 1900 — CHANGES OF CLIMATE.
HadCRUT’s first rate temperature record shows no warming in the 50 years prior to 1900.

My wife (52) tells me the same thing.
“EXTENSIVE observations show that the glaciers of Mont Blanc ceased to advance as early as 1854 ; that they then began to recede, some of them more rapidly than others. The diminution of the other Alpine glaciers, also, was substantiated in 1866, although there were exceptions up to a comparatively recent date.
The question suggests itself whether the conditions of these changes have been confined to the Alpine regions, or if they have been general throughout Europe, and also whether the modification of the climate is permanent, or if a return of low temperature and moisture may be anticipated. The fact that during the Middle Ages the glaciers were less extended than at present seems to indicate a periodicity in the phenomena.”

“The International Glacier Commission has just published its annual report on the variation of glaciers. The increase, which began in Scandinavia in 1904-5, became more general in 1907-8, when out of 32 glaciers observed 22 had increased in length, one of them 100 feet. On the other hand, in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Caucasus, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, there has been a general decrease in the glaciers. In Switzerland, out of 78 glaciers observed 50 have receded, only one has advanced. At Chamonix, in 1905 and 1907, the extreme point of the Bissant glacier, receded 145 feet. In the Maurienne the glacier of Mulmet, which forms two lobes at its base, the one to the north has lost 330 feet, and the one to the south 50 feet since 1904.”
