The year 1936 was one of the worst in US history. On April 6, tornadoes killed hundreds of people across the south.
Two weeks earlier, the country suffered from massive dust storms and flooding.
20 Mar 1936 – ALL EASTERN AMERICA UNDER FLOOD WATERS Terrible…
Prior to that was one of the coldest winters in US history
The summer had one of the worst droughts in US history
And it was the hottest summer in US history
Politically motivated climate science is humorous !
Politically motivated nuclear physics is dangerous !
The dangerous reality for us today is our lack of preparation to safely harness and use nuclear energy for the survival of society if the Sun enters another cyclic quiet period (Maunder Minimum):
1. Aston’s nuclear packing fraction correctly shows nuclear stability
2. Von Weizsacker’s nuclear binding energy does NOT tell stability
3. To hide the source of energy that causes fission – NEUTRON REPULSION – nuclear physics textbooks replaced Aston with von Weivzsacker after 1945.

I do not think we are looking at a repeat of 1936 yet.

However the jet stream has certainly changed from what we saw in the 1980 to the turn of the century.
Despite being a flaming progressive, FDR was a well known climate change denier.
Darn it Gator!
Now I have to clean my computer screen again.
I’m seeing the same parallels Steve. Maybe very cold winters trigger a perturbation that dries out the air (like producing a patch of cold water in the pacific). It would make the air much easier to heat over land if it gets trapped long enough, would suppress clouds until heated more, and if moving easily, could also provide a drier and cooler supply along tornado alley which could make for higher contrast with gulf moisture.
And that was when CO2 levels were around 305-310 ppm, compared to today’s 400.
Reblogged this on Climatism.
Imagine if the weather channel was around in 1936!
