Dude, the entire Earth has warmed by 0.2 of ONE degree over the last 100 years.
If it's been warmer in your mind the last 25 years...it's not from "climate change". You wouldn't even notice that difference.
What you have noticed is different meteorological patterns and events.
For instance, when I was a baby...my family in Central Florida had pictures of my grandfather holding me in a citrus grove where all the giant sprinklers had 25 foot streams of water frozen solid coming out of them.
They took those pics because it was something that just doesn't happen in Florida very often.
And then there were years where hurricanes ravaged Florida. Some of the worst were in the late 1800's.
And then there will be years and years with no real powerful hurricanes ever hitting the land there.
Out here in Vegas...the summer is always scorching. But a month ago a front moved in from the Pacific and we had about a week of weather that was about 20 degrees lower than normal.
Once that low pressure front moved...it was right back to boiling temps.
None of that had anything to do with "climate change"...much less "man-made" climate change.
Believe me...if man had the ability to change the climate, we would all be living in a perfect paradise.
But we aren't, because people are nothing in the grand scheme of things.
If the world is destroyed...it won't be from fossil fuel.
It will be either a large meteor strike, a massive volcanic eruption, or nuclear war.
