[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief, OP.

These temperature swings have happened for centuries.  Get over it.  [/quote]

First time 80 degrees has been recorded in January in DC.

Weather is not climate but you rack up enough of these record breaking temperatures over such a relatively short period of time and you see a pattern that start to look like climate change. [/quote]

Right.

And the 80 degree temp broke the 79 degree record which was set in 1950. [/quote]

Right.

And the average world temperature in 1950 was 51.6 F while the average world temperature in 2023 was 57 F.

And as said above, a single day is not climate, it's weather. Gather together all the temperatures over the course of years and decades and then look for the pattern. Especially the RATE of acceleration. That is, how quickly are temperatures rising and is that rate accelerating? And, well, the facts are clear on that one.

[quote]Air temperatures on Earth have been rising since the Industrial Revolution. While natural variability plays some part, the preponderance of evidence indicates that human activities—particularly emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases—are mostly responsible for making our planet warmer.

According to an ongoing temperature analysis led by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by at least 1.1° Celsius (1.9° Fahrenheit) since 1880.

And before you say that's not a very big change, the world's ever-shrinking glaciers would like to have a word with you.[/quote]
