ETA - well, the title is admittedly simplistic and misleading /end edit

I'm certainly not of the ideology that climate change is a hoax, and that we just THINK it's hotter because suddenly the corn is sweating.

I suspect that other species of plants sweat to a lesser or greater extent, including the prairie and trees that were here before mass agriculture, so I'm not of the ideology that mass agriculture is causing us to FEEL warmer.

There is a huge amount of temperature data collected from a variety of sources that clearly show temperatures have been rising over the decades, and at an increasing rate. That's the main reason we feel warmer than grandad did 40 years ago.
