New high and low temperature records set by state by date record set combined by decade (USA).<br />2. Measured temperatures (highs/lows) by year in the USA. Weather stations that are qualified and sited at qualified (rural) sites only (USA).<br />3. Number of tornadoes by year (USA).<br />4. Number of hurricanes by year (USA).<br />5. Sea level changes and trend of measurements at salt water sites (USA).<br />6. Acres lost to forest fires by year (USA).<br />7. Flood area per year (USA).<br />8. Droughts per year (USA).<br />9. Fresh water level changes of the Great lakes by year USA).<br />10. Changes in vegetation (green) areas (USA).<br /> <br />The measured data above should indicate variation within historical weather cycles using standard graphing and charting practices and use all available data (not limiting to certain year ranges). The data for the above is readily available from the scientific literature. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940641711980045571noreply@blogger.com
