Of course we all understand that anecdotes are not evidence of much. But still, for the average global temps to be higher than other years, don't you at least have to have one single place on the earth with warmer than average weather?
Can somebody name one singe place on the planet that was in the news for warm weather in the past year? Does anybody live in a place that was warm last year? How about cooler than normal weather? The only places I can think of that have definitely had cooler than normal weather the last year are Asia, Europe, and North America. Must have been damn hot in Australia and Antarctica last year.
You get the feeling that these bastards are so dedicated to their cause that they are not at all beyond flat out lying.
The last 5-7 summers [didn’t really keep official track] here have been dramatically cooler than “normal”.
I notice this more than the average person for one reason only; Harleys.
We used ride the back roads late into the night on gloriously hot summer nights wearing only t-shirts and jeans.
For a very long time, now, “summer weather” hasn’t started until mid-July whereas before, riding season began in late March/early April and continued well into October.
Even in August, we now have to turn around and head for home at or near nighfall because even our leathers didn’t help against the high 50s/low 60s evening chill.
I went to Gettysburg Bike Week in -July- wearing leather pants and a full jacket and was not even a little ‘too warm’.
Every time these liars spout this ‘we’re all gonna roast to death!” crap, I think of my stolen summer joy.
