Kinda hard to deny climate change when it is staring you in the face like THIS:

I've lived down here a few decades now, and know what is "normal" weather in my area.
we got whipped sawed so badly by sudden and dramatic up and downs of temperatures here of late, so I checked out the weather graphs.

Do you see what i see?

August[ is sorta normal, for comparison: the variance stays close to the average most of the month.





Then we get October:






then it really starts swinging













In Feb.the whipsaw slowed down, but the temps were running 10-15 degrees above normal, night and day, for the most part.

republicans are weakening America, and greedily exposing the nation to grave dangers. They have not just betrayed America with the russians, they have also betrayed America with their pigheaded, ignorant self-idolizing greed.

There's no way to reach the conclusion that it has anything to do with climate change based on that info alone. Weather can change from day-to-day and season-to-season. Climate is the average of many interconnected and complex patterns over several decades to determine if any change is becoming a new normal as a result of human-induced changes.

Maybe the information is already available by your state if they provide data on climate change either through gov services or university research, or check news services that track weather.

Yes..and the straight lines in the graphs show that...the average over many decades.
Many decades also being how long I have been watching our weather here.

"check news services that track weather.

That is what the graphs are from... accuweather.com, in my area.
