You fell into the semantic trap, calling AGW a "theory". It is in
the religious/lay sense, but certainly not in the scientific sense.

Anthropogenic global warming is certainly a hypothesis - as is every
other scientific theory. It is supported by enough scientific evidence
- which Eeyore lacks the background knowledge to understand - to be
referred to as a theory.

The evidence for recent global warming is the temperature measurments
- the earth as a whole has heated up by 0.74 +/-0.2 degrees Celcius
in the last hundred years

0.74 !

Loehle shows about half that IIRC. And mainly as recovery from the LIA.
