For those of you who do obey when commanded library-style, ABC News wants you to send them eyewitness accounts of global warming. Eyewitness accounts of a phenomenom most closely identified with the melting of the polar ice caps. An everyday yarn. Like how a pattern of worldwide temperature increase has made your ice melt, well, just a little faster than it did when you were a youngster. Everybody seems just a little, well, taller than they did back then, too.
There is no proof of global warming.
Here is a chart of the record high and low temperatures by month and the cities in which they recorded for The Commonwealth of Virginia.
