Having one really, really hot day is just a roll of the dice from various factors. Having consistently warmer weather and altered weather patterns, THAT is climate change.
The 10 warmest years in the 174-year record have all occurred during the last decade (2014–2023).
I’d love to see the data on this! Thanks!
We don’t have time for all that, we’re too busy cutting down trees to put up starter home developments.
If you look at a map of the US, we aren’t in the “armpit”, we’re in the “taint”.
This made me laugh out loud!
Anybody ever notice how the increasing sea tide levels and flooding in Charleston get all this news coverage, but nobody in the media and local scientists bothers to compare them to the levels in the large bays to the north (Winyah & Bulls Bay) and the south (Port Royal Sound)? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative…if the ocean was truly experiencing a net rising effect from ice melt, as predicted by climate alarmists, then it would be fairly consistent in regional geographic areas. But it’s not. Charleston is having lots of problems, but the others are not. But you know what would explain Charleston flooding and high tide level rise locally? Cutting down and developing over 12,000 acres of forest and wetlands in the immediate basin area over the course of 30 years and developing it with imperious surfaces ike roofs and pavement. That drastically increases runoff.
I feel you are 100% correct! Fear-mongering at its finest!
Maybe it’s all anecdotal, but I grew up within 30 miles of where I live today. And it definitely seems hotter to me. When I was growing up we had at least one good snow and occasionally two or three snows a year. We have not had a significant snowfall now for ten years. That seems significant. Summer is harder to gauge, but it seems hotter for longer. We do not seem to have a spring anymore. It gets hot in March and stays hot through October. The weather we have here in the Piedmont seems more like the weather they had in the low country when I was a kid. Again, I know this is not science, but the difference is noticeable to anyone my age I talk to.
