Not in
recorded history, which goes back some 5,500-6,000 years----in the history of weather records, which goes back about
150 years. And I doubt "we all" agree on that either, depending on the methodology used, which changed in 1977---only
46 years ago
I'm just hoping 2024 is one of the coolest years on record, so "we all" can stop hearing how 2023 was so warm and the beginning of a trend.
PS: we are in a warming trend, but it began 20,000 years ago
WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM MAN.
Anyway,
MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Whether you anticipate snowmen or puddles in the future
)
