More Proof... of absolutely nothing.

For you global warming alarmists, I submit this:

The following is a itemized list of 90 plus days... for every year in
Saint Cloud since 1893.

... Saint Cloud climate data... 90 degree days or higher... per year...

31 1921 1931
33 1988 (that was a hellish year..lots of 100 degree readings, too--ed)
34 1900

The year with the most days over 90 degrees was 1936 (36 days). If you will notice, relatively few of the past 50 odd years have made it into categories of 15 or more 90 degree days; most of those occurring in the first part of the 20th century.

So even if we are entering into yet another warming trend, so what?

Anthroprogenic global warming?

Feh.
