    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.

        My brother in Christ. We’re supposed to be in an Ice Age now.

          Not even Lemmy is safe from climate change deniers.

            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”.

        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.
