Climate Change

[Elsa TLC]

Its amazing how this unpredictable weather is consistently getting hotter.

The hottest 10 years ever recorded are all in the last decade. That isn't random change, that's a rising trend with some random variation.

Is this a trend that could have happened in history before.

Our summers tend to be pretty good recently. As they did when we where kids.

But we have had a period of really poor summers.

But even that can be someone's perception?

No - not "ever recorded" -but since modern records have been kept which is not long at all. This "ever recorded" when used in climate is BS - ask a tree ring or the GISP

Yes many times and even quicker and even hotter - its all been gone over in this thread before

Something else with these Hottest since temperatures - it means nothing if it is not at the exact same weather station. And then there is the build up of heat islands adding to the results.
