Turns out that NOAA (thank you!) has created a new tool that makes it easy to plot time series data of climate conditions. Here is the rainfall trend for Kansas from 1900 to 2020. The news is excellent.
Kansas is clearly getting wetter. And, while we are on the subject of climate time-series data, here is the U.S.'s temperature data for the entire period that the state-of-the-art U.S. Climate Research Network has been in existence. Below is the latest data.
Good news here, as well, the United States has not warmed in the 16 years the USCRN has been in existence. The news is not all good, however, California shows a tiny drying trend.
There is no climate emergency!
