Just curious.

I also note that many years back — when there was scientific talk of global cooling — there were some days in late winter to early spring when the temperatures in Anchorage and Juneau were significantly higher than Daytona Beach.

Just underscoring that any particular weather event is meaningless in proving or disproving global warming or cooling. And every temperature record happens on some date. Some remain very old and some are more recent. Neither proves or disproves anything.

So true!

When I hear of records being broken that went WAY back to 1892, I think:

• were these folks also obsessed with climate change?
• did someone claim the end of the world was in 12 years?
• did they also rightly blame cow farts?
• was it politically charged?
• how did they ever survive without air conditioning?
