1922 set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded. 136F in Libya. It also saw record heat in the Arctic, massive typhoons, huge floods and snowstorms. Joe Romm would have been hysterical at 310 ppm CO2.
Eastern Arctic didn’t freeze during the winter
Glaciers disappeared
The Ohio River flooded 54 feet deep.
We need to reduce PPM to 210 then! 310 is obviously way too high.
OMG.
It’s worse than we expected.

“Dog bites man” story:
“SEVERE WINTER IN HUNGARY. SOLDIERS FIGHT THE WOLVES.
Hungary is being ravaged by snow-storms and blizzards of unprecedented violence. Traffic is being held up by hordes of howling wolves seeking food and shelter and compelling the military to be called out to give battle and drive them off. Three men have been devoured.”
