    my understanding of long ago was that Greenhouse Gas theory was
    More GHG = more cloud
    More cloud = cooler days and warmer nights, effect most felt in winter (what’s not to like)

    Your charts of declining maximums might be showing the effects of GHG – so long as it doesn’t drag us into an ice age, it is all good, better weather, longer growing seasons and increased C02 good for all that is growing.

    1950 ~100°F
    2010 ~ 97-98°F
    60 year period gives around a 2°F-3°F fall.

    The decline runs at about -1°F to 1.5°F per 30 years or so. That is still quite rapid, just not fast enough for most humans to ‘feel’.
    ~3.5°F fall over a lifespan will not be noticed.
