What business are we talking about? Weather directly affects sales in tons of things (e.g. icecream, oil, boat rentals, vacations, agriculture). But that doesn't mean climate change would be visible in sales data since this data will be noisy and and interest rates, economic growth, and hundreds of other variables will have a far greater impact. It's a very bold claim that you can see evidence of global warming in sales data.

I'm not going to list the exact field but it deals with home heating.
And I've already told you, twice now, that the data collected include weather models, history, and predictions. Weather maps. Temperature maps. Precipitation maps. How are you having difficulty understanding that it includes those things?

You really just can't accept when someone flat out tells you that the numbers don't lie... Amazing. A nationwide business that has shown serious changes that affect sales and... what, it's not acceptable because it isn't over a full lifetime of 70, 80 years and not something that you yourself have observed (not your years, not your observations, not your data)? Did you not read the part where I said "weather directly affects sales?" Weather projections and history are a critical part of this business and are required pieces of data when talking to business partners, banks, and investors and it always has been.
I don't care to try to change your mind. The facts won't change whether or not you believe something.
