I voted for Trump. I am that fed up with liberals. But yes, Virginia Global climate change is real. Ask any Midwestern American farmer that is over 40, and it doesn't matter what its called. We know its happening.
You have been shown that your short term anecdotal memory is incorrect before, but buy all means, lets do it again...Pick a region....since you said "any midwestern farmer" lets look at the midwest as a region.
Going back 40 years will put you at the end of 1979. Interesting that you pick 1979 because that year marks the turn from the coming period which began in the 1940's.
Since you mention midwest farmers, maybe you have heard of a period of time known as the dust bowl. The dust bowl covered a period that began in 1930 and continued through 1936.
Here is a chart beginning considerably before the 40 year mark you like to look at and tracks maximum temperatures across time...Note the temperatures during the dust bowl years in contrast to the present.
Here is one that charts the average number of days equal to or greater than 90 degrees across the US... Again...it is clear that if you go back further than your 40 years, you see an entirely different story. Relying on your memory to accurately describe what the climate was like for a given period is an inherently bad way to gauge what the present climate is like...first, most of us have not lived long enough to have enough information to even begin to make an accurate assessment of the present climate.
Since the 19th century, the peak temperatures have dropped about 20 degrees.This year, the peak temperature in the midwest didn't even make it to 99 degrees.
Here is a graph showing the 200 hottest days ever recorded in the midwest....again, notice how much information you miss by only looking back 40 years.
So there is yet more information to add to that which has already been given to you demonstrating that your anecdotal memory of what it was like in the good old days is terribly flawed. No doubt you will file it in the round file and wait until the next opportunity presents itself to talk how bad it is now compared to the "good ole days' a mere 40 years ago,
