Global Warming was a lot worse 120 years ago.

That’s right. I’ve read a number of books about pioneer days in Illinois. There were some amazing stories about dangerously severe weather here, both hot and cold. In fact, one speculated that bison may have been wiped out in Illinois by a massive snowfall so deep that they either starved or got stuck and died. Bison have not been seen in Illinois for over 200 years, but bones have been found.
Whenever I hear the man-made climate change people talk as if the weather has been mild up to now, I wonder if they have ever studied history.
