If Climate Change isn't real......how do we account for the hottest temps on record on the West Coast....the most severe droughts ever.....

@yeronlyman Yes, but it changed at a much slower rate, unless the change was a result of a catastrophic event (like a giant volcano eruption).

@helenS i agree, but we are only in the infancy of collected data, apart from core measurements etc... The earth is spilling out carbon naturally, even without a sudden catastrophic event. Accepted carbon is high. I am not disregarding anthropogenic influences.
