How long have they been recording? I assume there’s no records from all that long ago. Being as how humans, and measurement especially are a fairly new thing.
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.

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.
The trailing end of an ice age anyway.
We are in an ice age right now.
Is this comment satire?
Not even Lemmy is safe from climate change deniers.

You might wanna do some research into why ice ages and interglacial periods happened.
Spoiler alert: it’s the composition of the air.

Nature doesn’t do shit this funny.
