    Al Gore was right again- he said Global Warming could make the world HOTTER or COLDER

    I have been playing around at the website, and have found a bunch of interesting stuff. We are one place where the record high occurred in 2022, the hottest summer ever. However, the temperature is measured at an airport, so where at the airport and how long was it there? When I tried to contact the airport for the temperature data, they ignored me. In any case, the longest stretch of days above 90 degrees was way back, so overall how do you compare the two to declare an increase in regional temperature? I suppose you could use the old thermo engineer’s Degree Days as a tool, but in the end, it either looks like nothing is really changing, or possibly over the short term of 120 years or so, temp is decreasing.
    I don’t have a microphone on my computer, so I ordered one, because I believe, from the tutorials, that one can give oral requests to your AI. So far I have just been filling in the boxes at the bottom, which also works. I didn’t notice, but do you have a help button, one can click on to see all of the key commands and controls that are available?
