Thirty years ago, the above were typical November views across the Penn State's White Golf Course. Across central PA it now is unusual to get deep and lasting snow falls even in January and February.

World-wide, the last seven years have been the warmest on record and to date 2022 has been the warmest among them. The first two weeks of this November we had daily high temperatures in the high 60s, and they were in the 70s the closing weeks of October. The following is a similar view to those above of the White Golf Course on a Nov 12, 2022.

Is this evidence of man-made global atmospheric warming? No, because it is subjective. But, it is consistent with a tremendously large set of data continuously collected by scientists worldwide with empirical rigor.

POST SCRIPT: No sooner than I pressed the button to publish this post, the temperature dropped into the normal range for fall and a front dropped a couple of inches of snow in Happy Valley. That notwithstanding, the return to near normal fall weather does not negate the multi-year warming trend.
