Temperature Records


Interesting... the graphs show new record high and record low temperatures across the United States by year... lots of high temperature records were set in the thirties, fifties and nineties but almost none in the last 10 years. And many low records were set in the seventies and eighties, but almost none in the last 10 years... so even though the news is full of global warming excitement -- our weather has been quite uneventful... not record-breaking hot, not record-breaking cold.

How can such an uneventful decade result in so much hype? Here's more information.
