I guess there was never unreasonably warm weather before.

Huh, well would you look at that, in the 80s and 50s, there were temperatures in the high 60s and 70s: https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/pittsburgh/month-december/highest-temperatures

Interesting data! It makes you wonder if the frequency of hot December days has changed over time. Let's get more data!

We'd need to include temperatures from a longer time period - well before 1926 - to see if these temperatures are actually unusual and look for a trend. And to make our conclusions stronger, we should expand our scope to include average temperatures from all over the world, not just Pittsburgh. When you do that, you get something like this.

Really interesting point. So in contrast to the usual talking points that “it’s not just the climate getting warmer, it’s the fluctuations!” You’re saying it’s exclusively about the climate getting warmer?

It seems like your programming is outdated. It’s called “climate change”, not “global warming”, boomer.
