The daily average temp for the whole planet has only been tracked for 44 years, but now we have a bold prediction, it is the hottest it has been in 120,000 years, why not 130,000, or 140,000? Also I would not be surprised if some of those weather stations have been compromised by a change in their surroundings, as anyone who isn't a climate alarmist realizes paving things over raises temperatures and increases flooding risk.
I have an idea to shut up all the people like me that question the scientific claim of knowing the climate of the distant past by studying tree rings, soil, and the like.
Go back as far as you believe the weather can be reliably tracked at any location. I hate to sacrifice an old tree, but one needs to go for the cause.
As an example let us go to Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington. There are still plenty of trees on that property George planted himself. Pretty sure through diaries and official records the daily weather at Mt. Vernon should be well documented.
Get as many soil and tree ring experts as will participate and watch over them so they can't cheat. Have all of them estimate all weather going back to 1761 when George Washington took ownership' from looking at tree rings and dirt, then compare their findings to the historic record.
If the "science" is more than just guesswork and fun with numbers all of the "experts" should have similar findings. My money says they will be all over the place and no two of them will be close to each other.
Any input here from climate alarmists and thoughts on taking this opportunity to prove the "science"?
Or will we just get the typical pile of excuses for the science being flawed?
