Weather variability is large, and many places can still see the occasional severe cold snap. However, as the world warms, new record highs have been significantly outpacing new record lows. pic.twitter.com/6lVkK2EMCt

Rutgers University confirms our climate place in the last 10,000 years:
==============================================
“We found that post-industrial warming has indeed accelerated the long and steady trend of warming throughout the past 10,000 years. Our study also underscores the importance of seasonal changes, specifically Northern Hemisphere summers, in driving many climate systems. Our method can, for the first time, use seasonal temperatures to come up with annual averages.”

“The planet is hotter now than it has been for at least 12,000 years, a period spanning the entire development of human civilisation, according to research.”

Notice all those blank spots? Scientists are hiding all the places that are getting record lows!
