I am not sure what you think you are arguing, since I did not say that the CURRENT warming was not due to Human activity?
We actually have some really fine grained "annual" data in the form of varves, palynology, coral records, oxygen isotope data, ice core data, and nice 14-C dating techniques.
Even Emliani in 1972 suggested that anthropogenic global warming could offset the cycles of glaciation (Emiliani, Cesare (1972). "Quaternary Paleotemperatures and the Duration of High-Temperature Intervals." Science 178: 398-401.)
We also know from Broecker et al's work that the cycles (seen in the figure below with some significant degree of resolution) should have a slow "cooling". Doesn't look like we are on that right now and just looking at single cooler year will do you no good.

I found this bit of information interesting:
"The ice cores themselves gave convincing evidence of the threat, according to analyses published beginning in the early 1990s. The "climate sensitivity" — the long-term response of temperature to changes in carbon dioxide — could be measured for the last glacial maximum. The answer was in the same range that computer models were predicting for our future, namely, about 3°C of warming, give or take a degree or so, if the CO2 level doubled. It was just the same range that the models got. By 2012 this finding had been confirmed not only for recent ice ages but for many other geological epochs. Evidently the computer modelers had not missed anything important. When scientists arrive at the same numerical result using wholly different methods, it gives them confidence that they are somehow in touch with reality.(53b*)" (SOURCE)
You can read more about all this HERE, it's a pretty cool read.
And, of course, it is more nuanced than simply waving your hand at Vostok and saying "We can't know anything!" (implying that whatever your pet hypothesis is is on as firm a ground as the actual science).
All the proxy evidence comes down to our ability to make predictions.
Carbon emissions are chilling the atmosphere 90km above Antarctica, at the edge of space
While greenhouse gases are warming Earth’s surface, they’re also causing rapid cooling far above us, at the edge of space. In fact, the upper atmosphere about 90km above Antarctica is cooling at a rate ten times faster than the average warming at the planet’s surface.

While greenhouse gases are warming Earth’s surface, they’re also causing rapid cooling far above us, at the edge of space. In fact, the upper atmosphere about 90km above Antarctica is cooling at a rate ten times faster than the average warming at the planet’s surface.
Our new research has precisely measured this cooling rate, and revealed an important discovery: a new four-year temperature cycle in the polar atmosphere. The results, based on 24 years of continuous measurements by Australian scientists in Antarctica, were published in two papers this month. . . .
Our results show that in the high atmosphere above Antarctica, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases do not have the warming effect they do in the lower atmosphere (by colliding with other molecules). Instead the excess energy is radiated to space, causing a cooling effect.
Our new research more accurately determines this cooling rate. Over 24 years, the upper atmosphere temperature has cooled by about 3℃, or 1.2℃ per decade. That is about ten times greater than the average warming in the lower atmosphere – about 1.3℃ over the past century. . . .

[h=2]Astrophysicist Asserts The Globe Will Cool ~1°C During 2020-2053 Due To An Oncoming Grand Solar Minimum[/h]By Kenneth Richard on 27. August 2020

[h=4]During the last Grand Solar Minimum (17th century), global surface temperatures dipped to the coldest of the last 10,000 years – about 1.4°C colder than today. Dr. Zharkova, an astrophysicist, has determined another imminent drop in solar activity will lead to a 1°C cooling in the coming decades.[/h]From 1645 to 1710, the Sun went into a quiet phase referred to as the Maunder Minimum. During this period, the “surface temperature of the Earth was reduced all over the Globe” (Zharkova, 2020). Cold summers and winters ensued, with glaciers extending onto farmland, sea ice expanding beyond the Arctic, and “frost fairs” on frozen rivers in Europe.
The coldest temperatures and most expansive ice extent (glaciers, permafrost, sea ice) of the last 10,000 years occurred during both this period and the surrounding centuries – often referred to as the Little Ice Age (LIA) (Glazer et al., 2020, Geirsdottir et al., 2019). . . .
