Reply #2: I am 61 also. I remember hotter days and warmth after rain

but I also see trends. Like I used to start cutting grass in May and quit shortly after Labor day. Now I go from early April to halloween.
Trees bud out about two weeks earlier than they used to when I was a kid.(eta) Leaves now don't drop until after November 1. Our city finally adjusted their leaf pickup schedule to reflect this. They used to quit and prepare the trucks for winter on Nov.1. Now they pick up leaves until the first week of December.
Summer heat comes earlier and stays much later. September used to be a really mild month around here. These days we have to run air conditioning into September.
Surely 1936 was a very hot year. Those who liver through it still talk about it. But globally, most of the hottest years on record happened in the past 2 decades.

To not pursue an energy policy that gets us and the world away from fossil fuels is to me almost criminal. Even if fossil fuels have no part in warming, it surely has major impact on air and water quality. Time to move into the future before we condemn our kids and grandkids to a future of undrinkable water and unbreathable air.
