1934 was a year of heat and drought across the planet, from pole to pole. It wasn’t the CO2. It wasn’t USHCN’s overblown Time Of Observation Bias. So what was it?
And the bigger question is – why aren’t climate scientists investigating the real drivers of climate, rather than hiding in their Oxygen deprived CO2 chambers?
“why aren’t climate scientists investigating the real drivers of climate”
I imagine many of them have nowhere else to go – mortgages to pay.
Temps were so high due to lack of cloudcover. The drought fits with the Svensmark theory. Very strong helio magnetic activity, dearth of cloudcover, hot and dry. In Socal, this often seemed to be followed by an earthquake. Shake and Bake.
Memo to self: skip the 1930’s when I get my DeLorean time machine.
That was during the depression, when they could not afford thermometers and guessed at the days highs and lows. It wasn’t that bad, they were just babies.
