Question

HI could you please help me with these questions :)

a.) Describe the 2023 temperature data from the top of the Blue Hill in Canton, MA.  Temperatures are recorded daily by a weather observer and averaged out over each month (shown in the image below ).  What does this record demonstrate?  
b.) How does this data suggest climate change? What other information would you gather to make the argument that climate has fundamentally changed since 100 years ago.              
c.) Find temperature records from two other cities in the world that indicate that climate has changed over the last several decades. Please cite some sources. Did they change more or less than in Canton, MA?
