Hmmm... I thought it was just, ya know... Summer?
Some claims are far fetched. 90 degree temps in June are fairly rare in the North. I can acknowledge that. So that's not all that far fetched.
There's a claim that there are more record-setting hot temps in the last 50 years than the 50 years prior. And that's not far fetched either. Something they must acknowledge, though, is that this is the nature of record-setting. The last record set will always be after the previous record. So we expect record setting to trend towards lately rather than formerly.
However, something to acknowledge on our side, the coldest day records are standing way longer than the hottest day records. That implies it's hotter now than then. My position is, so the **** what? I'm not denying it's getting hotter. I'm not even denying that humans are the cause, though I suspect it's a highly dubious to proclaim with the confidence of a blue-haired screeching freak that it is.
Even so, is the consequence of higher temps greater than the consequences of all the life-destroying carbon neutral policies? That's the important question to me, and it's a question I do not trust to ideologues.
My answer, which I don't consider far fetched, is **** you. I'll keep my gas V8, my diesel tractor, I'll make my home as comfortably cool in the summer and warm in the winter as I please. I'll live and let live without a drop of guilt, and no sleepless nights contemplating my contribution to global warming. Freaking out about it would be far fetched.
