Since the official government mantra for all of the bureaucracies at least since the Clinton era is that CO2 production is an evil that inevitably leads to runaway global warming, those who toil in the bureaucracies' statistical sweat shops know that their careers and future funding depend on having the politically correct answers — not the scientifically correct ones.
Global Warming: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion. Its data are fraudulent.
But the actual measured temperature record shows something different: There have been hot years and hot decades since the turn of the last century, and colder years and colder decades. But the overall measured temperature shows no clear trend over the last century, at least not one that suggests runaway warming.
That is, until the NOAA's statisticians "adjust" the data. Using complex statistical models, they change the data to reflect not reality, but their underlying theories of global warming. That's clear from a simple fact of statistics: Data generate random errors, which cancel out over time. So by averaging data, the errors mostly disappear.
Far from legitimately "adjusting" anything, it appears they are cooking the data to show a politically correct trend toward global warming. Not by coincidence, that has been part and parcel of the government's underlying policies for the better part of two decades.
What NOAA does aren't niggling little changes, either.
As Tony Heller at the Real Climate Science web site notes, "Pre-2000 temperatures are progressively cooled, and post-2000 temperatures are warmed. This year has been a particularly spectacular episode of data tampering by NOAA, as they introduce nearly 2.5 degrees of fake warming since 1895."

I for one want it to be warmer for various personal reasons and will be very disappointed if global warming isn't real.

It seems you are very America-centric while talking about global warming?
What you lack can be found when checking out temperature at the Arktis Antarktis, Asia, ...to Zimbabwe.

My gut tells me a big chill is coming.
I would prepare for hot summers and cold winters.

Are there really people who believe that plowing down forests, burning fossil fuels, etc... aren't harming the planet?

Winter in my parts are high 70s to mid 80s during the day and high 50 to 60ish during the night...
Oh, you poor thing. Come to New Jersey and help me shovel my damn roof.

Well, there are people who believe the earth is flat so... yes, they're probably are.
I would argue the vast majority of people on the planet are for a cleaner planet with less waste.
But you alienate over half the population with the Al Gore / Leonardo DiCaprio BS preaching at the common folk we're ruining the planet when they have multiple mansions and private jet all over the world.
