NCAR graph from the 1970s Now that at least one member of the Hockey team has acknowledged that the cooling in the 1970s was both real and natural, we can analyze older data which was not perturbed by people with … Continue reading →

Flooding in China in 1931 killed as many as four million people, and left 80 million homeless. It was preceded by a three year drought and heavy snow/rain. Atmospheric CO2 levels were 310 ppm, well below Dr. Hansen’s “safe” level … Continue reading →
