"This may come as a shock but the climate has never been static..."


No in the least.


"What caused climatic shifts prior to industrialization?"


A major contributor to climate shifts in the past have been the malenkovich cycles, particlarly as they pertain to cycles of ice ages and intrerglacials.


"Why are such causes no longer seen as legitimate drivers of climate change?"


Because, according to the latest cycle, we should be heading for a colder climate, not a warmer one.  That is why a lot of scientists thought in the 1970s that we might be headed for another ice age.
