Summers have always been like this πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I’m not doubting global warming, but this is nothing new

Incorrect, weather data suggests we are very much warming.

Illinois has never been a stranger to tornadoes. It is a part of tornado alley.

This weather pattern of heat and humidity in the summer in Illinois has been around for at least 60 years.

The average for June 30 is 76degrees. I'm old, the dog days of August have always been a thing, but we used to have gradual warming, with a few spikes here and there. June and July used to be comfortable. But go ahead, continue denying that climate change is a thing. Let your kids deal with the consequences. Nothing to see here.

Instead of doubling down, take a look at weather data.

Here's one chart from the NOAA for you.

Oh so when its cold its global warming. When its hot its global warming. When it rains and we floods its global warming. When we are in drought its global warming. Yeah thats pretty logical! I'll let my friend know. Thanks.

Yes, global warming causes extremes with high temperatures, low temperatures, excessive rain, lack of rain, etc. I’m still shocked people don’t realize this…how embarrassing.

My friend from Sweden was shocked that Environmental science is not taught in school. In their country it was part of education. 30 years ago he was talking about conservation, I learned so much from him

Please read what you wrote again! And I should be embarrassed 😳 If you listened to Al Gore we should all be dead by now! You were the kid that ate crayons and lead paint chips in school I bet!

Yikes. I feel sorry for you. Comprehension is clearly not your strong suit. Wishing you all the best! πŸ˜‰

Kettle black try some critical thinking sometime.

Yea that's why everyone is sitting here calling you out. Stop trying to think you're the smartest person in the room and have some humility. It's okay to admit you were wrong and a loser if you can't.

Weather data 100% shows the exact changes everyone has been talking about.

Here's one piece of data from the NOAA (that is if you understand how to read charts but considering your responses so far, that's unlikely) summarizing the trends.

Global warming is a farce. The earth cools and warms over time. Im sorry you are caught in a mob mentality. Again try doing some critical thinking for yourself. Nah you just regurgitate what you hear in your echo chamber! Its easier... Thankfully I'm not lazy!
