That is not remotely how global warming works.
- scythe 4y agoIt's basically just bad phrasing. Granted, obviously global warming is not responsible for a deviation of a daily temperature from the average over that year or other near-term comparison. But it's not unreasonable to simply say "it would have been about one degree cooler 150 years ago".
- polotics 4y agoIt is unreasonable because it is completely incorrect! Lower & wetter lows, and much much higher much wetter highs is what CO2-induced climate disruption has triggered. "It" would not have been one degree cooler, this is a completely invalid way of thinking about the predicament.
