The following article presents an interesting analysis of the “Great Drought” – and guess what – CO2 doesn’t get a metion. Clearly they were a lot saner back then. “Probing the secrets of the Great Drought” http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/23340278?
Even in 1934 Switzerland, there were 15 global warming denialists!!
