    Per NASA, accurate global readings go back to 1880 and historical localized temperatures go back to the 1650s

      Not much in the grand scheme of things. There was an ice age not that long ago. Nature does some funny shit.

            But he doesn’t deny climate change, he denies that man has such a big influence on him. Or maybe he denies the theory that nature itself is not able to regulate temperature. After all, uncomfortable for a human does not mean uncomfortable for nature as a whole.

              Right - we humans are generally most concerned with what’s “comfortable”. That’s a fun spin on “being able to live”. The earth will be fine with or without us, we’re just doing a good job of shooting for “without”.

                I live in a region with an annual temperature difference of 70 degrees Celsius in not goodanouth year . if they tell me that the summer will be hotter by 5 degrees Celsius and the winter will be 10 degrees colder I will not even feel most likely. still if you spit to the ground only ice will reach the ground. And whether or not you deny heating has nothing to do with it. Of course maybe mankind is warming the earth enough, or maybe the Little Ice Age is ending. If you care about that, ok. I don’t.

          Questioning acknowledged truths isn’t always denial. Science moves forward by constantly challenging established facts. It allows us to have a more detailed and solid understanding of phenomena. Climate change deniers are generally uninformed (to put it mildly), but I’m tired of people who get triggered by any question about climate change data. Information is power y’all!

        So we basically understand “weather” for roughly 8ppm of earth’s life. That said, we can infer much amount about climate (not weather, climate) from much older archeological and even paleontological evidence.
