It’s kind of worse when you see it on the map, because it appears to be running parallel to an existing developed area, like they built a bypass through the rainforest for the climate summit, not a road for someplace previously unconnected.

Are you really going to sit here and deny global warming when you can literally see it with your own eyes these past 20 years?

These guys are rich, causing it, and pretending to care

Everyone says 2024 was one of the hottest, I didn't notice, spring didn't have many hot days and either did summer that I recall. I coach track in the spring and summer and take note of hot days. I don't remember the 23/24 winter and certainly don't remember the weather from the last 20 years. I have to "trust the science" for that kind of climate analysis. So no I have not seen it with my own eyes and unless you have been logging your own weather station for the last 20 years you have not either.

You don't remember?? You don't fucking remember? I've seen winters go from snowy to snowless.

You not remembering it as a reason to not believe in it that's crazy. You have seen it. You are just forgetful

Normal people can remember last year's weather.

Why would I remember a typical winter. It got cold & snowed, how much it snowed or how cold it was I have no clue.

I’ve seen winters go from snowy to snowless.

Either you live in an area that historically doesn't get much snow or you're full of shit, I'm betting the latter. According to "the science", no area has seen that drastic of a temperature change to go from snowy to no snow.

You not remembering it as a reason to not believe in it that’s crazy. You have seen it.

Never claimed I don't believe just that I have not observed changes with my own eyes.

I doubt you remember how many times it got below freezing this past winter.
