Yes. Right. The fact that the earth air and water temperatures have risen significantly is accepted by both sides of the debate in the scientific and politcial communities, and by those literate enought to be able to read the simple data including, the far left and far right.

The debate is over the cause.

BTW, why no mention of the irrefutable fact that Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are also experiencing "Global Warming"? It is easy to see what the common denominator is among Earth and the aforementioned 4 planets, and the only thing that can affect climate on a planetary scale: the sun.

Again, for those who can read, there has been considerable mention of other planets experiencing a warming of their atmospheres. And again, the cause is under debate.

Unfortunately, what is "easy to see" does not always turn out to be a factor. That truth is tormenting both sides of the issue.

Regarding Chicago weather. Chicago's April temperature extremes: Based on official records dating from 1871, Chicago's temperatures in April have ranged from 91 (April 22, 1980, and April 30, 1942) to 7 (April 7, 1982). Chicago has experienced below freezing weather as late as May 15.
