Observed Climate Change in North Carolina

Here.

Excerpt:

There is no observational evidence of unusual long-term climate changes in North Carolina. No emissions reductions by North Carolina will have any detectable regional or global effect whatsoever on climate change.

Annual Temperature: Averaged across the state of North Carolina, there has been no long-term trend in the state’s annual temperature history since 1895, the year when well-compiled temperature records first become available from the National Climatic Data Center (located in Asheville). Figure 1 shows that the coolest period of the past 113 years in North Carolina occurred during the 1960s. Since then, average temperatures across the state have returned to the levels that were common during the four decades prior to the 1960s. Temperatures during the past decade are by no means unusual when properly set against the long-term temperature history of the state.
