That is a hard question to answer, because my answer is biased (I live now, so I am biased to think now/recent-past is the best climate). But I do think the 19th/20th century was the most ideal climate possible for the human race. I would speculate it is no coincidence that the industrial revolution occurred so quickly, in part due to a verdant climate.

Google for anthropic bias or anthropic principle

Climate changing slower than humans give birth or starve, plus lack of petroleum age mobility, will result in this bias.
