This, "been hearing about it since the 90s."
If only there were some quantitative data that tracks trends over time over the last century; like temperature, growing season, ice core consistency.
If only there were some climate disaster with 3 intersecting 100 year storms in 1993 that impacted the entire US East Coast, it could even be made into a movie with George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Diane lane.
"100 year" flooding events in New Orleans, Houston, Germany, Spain, England, Mississippi, Italy.
"100 year" drought events in Spain, Mississippi, US West.
"100 year" forest fires in Siberia, California, Canada, Greece.
Gee, the climate isn't changing at all.
I was thinking about subtle ways we've adapted as I watched a classic car event in the South East United States, recently. Wow, just 50 years ago, air conditioning was an option (still not on USPS or UPS trucks); 30 years ago we didn't have window tint. Our houses now have low e windows, we have better insulation, better polyurethane foam sealing, bigger and more air conditioners. But the climate isn't changing?
