I think you must have forgotten a “not” or otherwise made a typo that reversed the meaning of your comment. “Recently, several times I’ve run into people tell me that temps in the U.S. are rising and I’ve wondered why they make such a claim.” As written, your comment sounds like you don’t understand why someone would say temperatures are rising, and ascribe it to confirmation bias rather than climate change.
