Re: Getting hotter

The long term trend in your neighborhood (if I remember your neighborhood right) doesn't look that drastic. The graph below is not anecdotal.

That climate changes is obvious. That it's a runaway trend caused by human activity is not. If we had the same politics in the 1930s-1950s that we have now, there would have been panic in the streets.

Tiger mosquitoes were imported sometime in the late 80s in water-filled tires from Asia. In other words, about 20 years ago there were no tiger mosquitoes at all in the United States. That they are spreading to new areas and increasing is not a surprise, and doesn't automatically imply a climate issue.
