You presented a graph constructed from data gathered in USA and claimed it refuted what climatologists are claiming.  USA makes up less than 2% of Earth's surface, so you should think of that data as localized data.  The climate problem involves the entire planet and the <2% in USA is should not be construed as indicative of the global situation.

I also looked up and compared other local patterns in other countries and some are up and some are down... its a localized situation that cannot really be averaged out to come up with an overall prognostication... that's like saying that because there is heavy flooding in one region that it is flooding all over the world on average.

I see that 3 (so far) are confused by this graph... probably dems or activists... It shows that the high temperature that we are experiencing today are just part of the continuum and it is not "global warming"... https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/not-climate-change-causing-heat-waves-this-summer-explain#&_intcmp=fnhpriver_19

That article reads like right wing propaganda.

Quick, quick, press the panic button!

Too late.

Did you look sideways too? How about back and forth? Such sophisticated methods you use. Clearly, you are way in advance of those who systematically compile and analyze vast amounts of data using such nonsense as algorithms, regression analysis and the like.

Or maybe it's like saying that on average temperatures are rising? Or like saying that on average that flooding is more widespread or more frequent or both?

"Climate change is already altering the location, frequency and severity of flooding. Close to the coasts, rising sea levels increasingly cause more frequent and severe coastal flooding, and the severity of these floods is exacerbated when combined with heavy rainfall. The heavy and sustained rainfall events responsible for most inland flooding are becoming more intense in many areas as the climate warms because air near Earth’s surface can carry around 7% more water in its gas phase (vapour) for each 1°C of warming."

And yet other parts of the world are drought stricken...

 Have you considered that if more precipitation is falling in some regions that might not preclude that less is falling in others? How does "And yet other parts of the world are drought stricken" contradict that? Have you considered that the precipitation that once fell in regions that are now drought stricken is now falling in other regions instead?

Clearly pointless to argue with people who don't know the difference between climate and weather.

I have just spent some time in mid north South Australia.

Mornings got down to near records of 1 degree.

 

Global warming? Bring it on.????????

Someone else who doesn't understand the difference between climate and weather.

So, this comment of yours:

"Global warming? Bring it on.????????"

 

doesn't  cast doubt on the reality of global warming? You didn't cite a local temperature as some sort of evidence? And doesn't indicate that global warming is a desirable thing?
