My questions when I am told something like that for a given month or a given year are; "By how much? Is that a significant difference statistically, given the changes to population density and the urban heat island effect?
My house now has a deck on the sunny side of the house that in addition to me being able to walk straight out of the house onto the deck, and not down some stairs, reflects the heat from the sun into the back of the house. An ignoramus or a leftist might conclude based on thermometer readings in those rooms that Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming was in fact the crisis of this decade, especially if they wanted to ignore the effect of the deck.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
