Geologist, Alasdair Skelton, explains that measurements made at Stockholm Old Observatory since 1756 show clearly that the Earth is warming. Indeed 2020 was the warmest year on record in Stockholm. He explores consequences, both globally (e.g. heat waves, bushfires) and locally. He notes that winters are likely to disappear in Stockholm by mid-century1.
