Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So all of those stronger hurricanes in the US in the Golf of Mexico, stronger winter storms in the Midwest and northeast, droughts in the west, actual data showing ice shelves receding, higher average temperatures in Europe, record breaking temperatures in the Middle East and India.......
All of that is bullshit, huh?
We have better record keeping now.
Comparing to before (say 75 or 100 years ago)is pointless
The data recorded in the last 10-20 years show large rises, too. Even if I agreed with your assessment of "old data can't be trusted because we had worse measurement capabilities then", there is evidence right now showing short term, meteoric rises, too. And all of that data points to human driven climate change.
Oh yep nobody new how to write anything above 40 in the old days. Your an idiot.
In the old days they probably recorded the temperature as to what it felt like outside.
"Well Joan, it feels like it's 85 degrees out today.. write that down"
And then that was the recorded temp that day
Huh. Good thing those chemists didn't get started on anything like chemistry until 1926.
