The plural of anecdote isn't "data." But what the data does suggest, according to the overwhelming majority of climate scientists, is that climate change is very real, and mostly man made.

actually the overwhelming majority of human beings believe the overwhelming majority of climate scientists are making all this climate shit up to line their pockets and appear relevant
ME? A CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER? YOU BETCHA! AND HERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY... ON THE FIRST EARTH DAY IN 1970, HARVARD BIOLOGIST, GEORGE WALD, ASSURED US THAT CIVILIZATION WILL END “WITHIN 15 OR 30 YEARS.”; FORMER OBAMA SCIENCE ADVISOR, JOHN HOLDREN, WROTE IN 1971, THAT 1 BILLION WILL DIE OF FAMINES BY 2020 DUE TO A “NEW ICE AGE.”; SENATOR GAYLORD NELSON PREDICTED IN 1970 THAT WITHIN 25 YEARS, BETWEEN 75% AND 80% OF ALL ANIMALS WILL BE EXTINCT. POPULATION "EXPERT" AND AUTHOR OF THE ‘THE POPULATION BOMB,’ PAUL EHRLICH, ASSERTED THAT BY THE YEAR 2000, ENGLAND WOULD NOT EXIST. IN 1972 THE GENIUSES AT THE CLUB OF ROME CLAIMED THAT THE WORLD WILL RUN OUT OF OIL BY 2003. RESERVES IN 2016 WERE THE HIGHEST YET ESTIMATED. AND THEN THERE'S AL GORE, WHO'S NUMEROUS FAILED PREDICTIONS OF THE EARTH'S DEMISE HAVE ONLY BEEN TOPPED BY THE NUMBER OF HILARIOUS MEMES MOCKING HIM. SO YEAH, I'M A LITTLE SKEPTICAL OF THE CHURCH OF CLIMATOLOGY.
