It ~was~ colder when you were a kid. And, when I was a kid, too (that would be a few years after you... <g>).
I just read something in the paper the other day about the average winter temps in Southern Ontario, Canada being about 2 degrees celsuis warmer than they were 40 years ago. That's a ~huge~ increase! And, it's that's a pretty consistent increase in North America. We in Toronto almost never get a white Christmas anymore.
The question isn't whether global warming is happening, but why (natural fluctuations or greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, or a combo of the two).
regards, frank

I remember temps like that when I was stationed in Kansas (Forbes AFB), only they were F rather than C. But then it was much colder in the old days, why I remember walking to school in snow up to my knees, now it hardly gets over my ankles. (grin)
