Another way to appreciate observed change in a frame of reference longer than the satellite record is to look at the ground-based thermometers for the last fifty years. The redder the map, the more pronounced is the warming in the winter versus the summer. This was a gross distortion of reality. In reality, what Karl found was that, on the average, there is one more day in every 730 in which the two-inch threshold is exceeded. Karl also informed me that there is no significant change in rain of three inches per day or more.
Simple logic can make that value judgement.
Unfortunately, there is no news and no scare value in the truth. Many of these same scientists are now forming a new environmental paradigm. During the 20th century, we have already proceeded more than half way to radiatively doubling the natural carbon dioxide greenhouse effect. The developing world is catching up as their emissions rise. Corn production per acre increased five-fold.
