Global warming is real

Yes, I said it. Books that my family came into possession of back in the 1980s that were published in the 1890s discuss the fact that temperatures were in fact on the rise back then. Mind you this was before automobiles, air conditioning, or even electricity in most parts of the world. Then in the 1950s, scientists got together and had a huge pow-wow then too according to Time magazine and the last paragraph really sticks out:



Dr. Ivan R. Tannehill, also of the Weather Bureau, is less skeptical. He
thinks the U.S. climate is really getting warmer and probably drier
too. His tentative explanation: a slow increase in radiation from the
sun.



O RLY? Also, anybody ever read about the Little Ice Age? Didn't think so.
