It looks like I'm in a sweet spot, as far as the temperatures go. Hard to tell on this scale, but things don't seem to change much. My big worry is drought.

It wasn't that long ago that NOAA and NASA GISS were admitting that there was NO longterm warming trend in the US. Of course, that was before the era of adjustments began: NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate? NASA’s top climatologist said that the US had been cooling Whither U.S. Climate? By James Hansen, Reto Ruedy, Jay Glascoe and Makiko Sato — August 1999 Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country NASA GISS: Science Briefs: Whither U.S. Climate? NOAA and CRU also reported no warming in the US during the century prior to 1989. February 04, 1989 Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period. Dr. (Phil) Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings.
