| #8 Hasn't been a 100° day here on the Florida coast since I moved here in 2017. But that's an anecdote. |

| #6 ... meaning it is warming 80 years faster than previously thought. An alternative explanation is their model is wrong enough to be nearly worthless, what with it being off by nearly a century. As the great Feynman said, if the predictions from your theory don't match the observations, then your theory is wrong. It's really that simple. I don't know how long the Arctic temperature record is, but in the US, "ever" is about 1870 or so. |
