Wow, well done Jimbo!
Lots of references to the non-settled climate of our planet!
Thanks for this reminder about the weird weather in 1936.
I was born that year in Wichita, KS long before air conditioning or central heating.
My Father grew up in SE Missouri with no electricity until after WWII. Can’t emagine the heat with not even a fan.
Do keep up, Steven. When we say unprecedented we aren’t the least bit interested in historical records.
I mean, for heaven’s sake, they had no satellites in those days so how accurate can those reports have been?
Have a word with Michael Mann. He’ll put it all into context for you.
/sarc (Just in case)
Soooooo, one has to ask, “Why does 1936 appear so unremarkable on the GISS/NCDC temp-history charts?”
Similarly, if this is “The HOTTEST year/decade EVAH” according to these frauds, why are so many of the historic high-temp records from the 1930s???
Yeah, it’s Liars all the way down.
It’s all about the headlines and weird weather. Weird weather has always been with us. Warmists need to show long term trends and the cause and stop pointing to alarming weather headlines. People also have short memories especially if they are 20 year old. 🙂 I am now working on 1937.
Thanks Jimbo,
I love the gems you dig up.
Ah, retrospective effects due to Anthropogenic Global Warming!
Quick, publish a paper and get your
palspeers to review it, there may be a Nobel prize to be had for a ground-breaking research like that!
