Pauline von Hellermann#ClimateDiary Yep, this is where we are at.
enoch_exe_inc@pvonhellermannn Even without looking at the data, I can say for a fact that it definitely feels hotter this year than it did last year, and the year before that, and so on.
Tom Ritchford@enoch_exe_inc @pvonhellermannn With all due respect, if we allow your personal experience, we have to allow all those other personal experiences where people say, "My region has been just fine".
Personal experience has no scientific value in a matter as huge as "the climate of the entire Earth". Only hard data has value.
Hmmm. I fully see your point,and scientific methods speaking you are right, of course. Nevertheless, in terms of accepting that this really is happening, right now, at a personal level: it helps to bring it home if graphs, news, and your own experiences all correlate.
