Record Breaking Weather

[chuck white]

While this post (and many others on this thread) are accurate, they tend to dilute the true seriousness of the problem because one degree is almost nothing and really could be nothing more than more accurate equipment.

 What makes you think we didn't have as accurate equipment in the last 10 20 30 years as we do now?

IMO this thread for the most part proves the weather is hotter than it ever has been in a very long time.
That records are not just being broken. But records that stood for a hundred years and getting broken and broken again the next week or the next year.

One degree may sound like almost nothing and could be explained away with your notion that it's too small to be meaningful.
But one degree increase in the average temp of the earth or the seas is extremely meaningful.

 
2016 was the hottest year in 137 years of record keeping and the third year in a row to take the number one slot, a mark of how much the world has warmed over the last century because of human activities, U.S. government scientists announced Wednesday.

We need to install fans on our northern border and make the Chinese pay for it.
