According to the following data, 1922 was right near the peak of a
transient warming trend in Norway. The same graph slows an upward
trend over the last century or so of roughly 1 degree C. The sky may
not have fallen yet, but those gradually increasing peaks are
threatening to impale some angels.

Sigh. Do you know where Ocala is? Or that the entire region used to
be full of citrus groves? Maybe you missed that they all froze out and
died, after 150 years? Do you know 'anything' other than politically
motivated BS? Do you ever think for yourself?

The way I hear it, central Florida got colder than recently in the early
1980's and in January 1977, and there was a freeze even in the Orlando
area in January 1963.
