EIA Shows Climate Change Effects

Below are two of EIA's charts showing heating degree days and cooling degree days. When the average temperature of a day is higher than 65°F it is a cooling day, if it is lower than 65°F it is a warming day. Over the past 60 years that EIA has been compiling data, winters are becoming warmer and summers are becoming hotter.

I was poring through EIA's data trying to find data of cost-per-BTU by energy source and share of electricity production by energy source when I came across the degree days data. It's quite unmistakable what's going on, and it bypasses any ridiculous notion that climate scientists are manipulating data -- after all, anyone can grab the NOAA daily weather records then calculate total HDD and CDD for any given city and see the same thing.
