we dont even have reliable weather data going back far enough to understand what the planets temp should be.
Yes, we do. Enough samples and cores from rocks and ice give a great picture of global temperatures over eons.
nope!
we cant even dig that fucking deep.
our most reliable weather data are records from people. (and it's
not too reliable)
you can only tell so much from rocks and surface snow.
you cant get a chunk of ice and tell how the global temps were.
you just know how it was right there, and maybe your scientist
makes a correct guess about it.
our scientists are a bunch of clowns.
Seriously, at what grade level of elementary school did you drop out?
Talk about a clown. Go play in traffic.

They are right. The temperatures and weather conditions now is a lot
then it was back in the 70's and 80's. It's here and we have to changeefore
it's to late. Waiting is not a option.
Where? A lot of people around here claim that things are different, by their recollection, but I don't remember it being cooler during the
summer back then. It seemed pretty darn hot then, too.
We also had snow-storms back then, but not every year, just like now.

Sorry, I do not agree. How are you comming up with that?

Because I lived through them, from the big ones in 1977-79 through the last one a couple of Winters ago. We have not had them every year in my
location in my lifetime (50+ years). Some Winters we might actually get 2 or even 3, but there will be other Winters where we
get
snow but never enough to call it a "storm."
In the past 12 years, we've had at least 2 summers where the official temperature never hit 90F (once, sometime since 2010) or
only
did once
(2009). I don't remember that EVER happening when I was younger. I remember having weeks at a time where it was 90F+ every
afternoon.
So, when someone my age or older claims it is "hotter than it's ever been" simply based on their personal experience, I wonder
if
they were in a coma
for several years during the 1980s, 90s, 2000s.
