(37,573 posts)are proof of global warming
which you are now calling climate change.
That's very thin proof you know.
Here are the record temperatures set yesterday

I would note just a couple of examples.
First, Cresco, Nebraska was 100 degrees yesterday. Broke a record set in 1948 when it was 98. Forest City, Iowa was 100 degrees, tied a record set in 1936.
Question, it 100 degrees today proves global warming, then doesn't 100 degrees in 1936 also prove global warming? What about Livingston, Michigan where it was 98 degrees in 1895 (a record that was broken yesterday by a whole two degrees).
Something that I posted just last Sunday, brought me this piece of weather history. http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?page=3567
"On Palm Sunday, 1965, a line of tornadoes took about 250 lives in the Midwest. One of them flattened every building in the farming hamlet of Pittsfield Center, Ohio and killed nine of the 50 inhabitants. Among the dead were Dr. Addison Ward, a 35 year-old assistant professor of English at Oberlin College, and his son Peter, aged seven. Mary Helen was buried up to her shoulders in the pile of bricks that had crushed her husband and child, but she survived, as did another son, Andrew, and the five-year-old Edith, who was blown out of the house and later found in the road."
Extreme weather, way back in 1965.
Please note that I am not denying global warming, something I have been talking about since at least 1990. Because I can remember coming to class one day when it was ten below zero and joking with my students. "You know, on some days, global warming seems like a good idea."
Point is that a few hot days and some storms do not prove global warming any more than a few cold days and some blizzards disprove global warming.
But thanks for proselytizing for your religion on this fine Sunday.
