We may be closer to the final act than anyone understands. When Randall mentions 30 years of satellite activity data I'm pretty sure he is talking about the CERES project by NASA.

That project has been monitoring the Earth's albedo level for the last 20 years using satellites. Unfortunately for us all the analysis of the data indicates that our situation has substantially worsened.

This paper:

Earth's Albedo 1998–2017 as Measured From Earthshine pub. Aug 2021

Concludes that by 2017 the decline in the Earth's albedo doubled the rate that the Earth was warming. We are warming up twice as fast as we were.

It quantifies how much of an effect this change in albedo is having. By 2017 it had reached 0.5 W/m2 (Watts per square meter). That doesn't sound like much, until you realize that the effect of all our GHG pollution in 2017 was 0.6 W/m2.

Bottom line, by 2017 the decline in the Earth's albedo doubled the rate that the Earth was warming. We are warming up twice as fast as we were.

Dr. James Hansen wrote last August that;

We should expect the global warming rate for the quarter of a century 2015–2040 to be about double the 0.18°C/decade rate during 1970–2015

Warming has greatly accelerated in the last seven years and is going to get worse. For the full analysis see:
