We were talking about the highest temperature ever recorded on the globe....

"it was Furnace Creek, California.... July....1913....134F....and it's the highest temp ever recorded....global"

You obviously didn't know that was the highest temperature ever recorded on the globe...which makes it global

....want a bigger shovel?

So what? Who cares about what happened 106 years ago on one day in one little spot in USA? What does that have to do with climate change today and GLOBAL warming that is happening NOW?

In the past 20 years there are now many more places all over the world that have been approaching and maintaining temperatures nearly as high every year and they've been lasting for more than one single day.

Stop focusing on unimportant singular, isolated incidents in isolated locations from more than 100 years ago and focus on the record breaking events that are happening globally every year now in the 21st century, each year hotter than the one before.

Really? You think a temperature reading in one small area is global?

That poster is convinced that USA is the center of the universe and the rest of the globe doesn't exist.

I was freezing in Florida a few years back and everyone was wrapping their super expensive palm trees to keep them from freezing. One guy had about two dozen comforters wrapped around each of his multi thousand dollar trees . Global warming.. ha!!

of course not....now you're really twisting and stretching....LOL

...it's the highest temperature ever recorded on the globe...exactly what I said it was

that was 106 years ago....and the record has not been broken anywhere on the "global" since

strangely enough...global warming has not made Furnace Creek one bit warmer in 106 years

""it was Furnace Creek, California.... July....1913....134F....and it's the highest temp ever recorded""

I agree, which is why I couldn't vote in the poll as this wasn't a choice.

What I find convincing is research on ice core samples from Greenland that show CO2 levels going back many millenia. We all know that the short time we've been keeping records is just a blink in geologic time, but these ice cores show natural rises in CO2 - and also show that the CO2 in the atmosphere has spiked dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. There are many scholorly, scientific studies on this. This one is from 2017 but I recently heard another (though I can't find it).
