In a nine year span, there were more than 290,000 record high temperatures and more than 140,000 record low temperatures. If those stats don't impress you, you are hopeless.

Oh bummer! Thats me hopeless. Throw another log on the fire and be sure to keep well supplied with firewood for the coming winters. That whole stat is worthless. 290000 vs 149000. What crap! You loons must be getting desperate. Excuse me for using the plural loons. I had forgotten you are the only Global Warming loon left. Even the almighty Algore has moved on to Climate Crisis. What ever the hell that means. Get your carbon credits early before they run out. What's that they will never run out. The Hopeless comrade chartseer
