Last week, climate criminals were blaming the rain in South Carolina on global warming causing more moisture in the atmosphere. One fatal problem with this theory is that the Southeastern US is getting much cooler.
The frequency of hot summer days in the Southeastern US has dropped in half since the 19th century.
Climate criminals are paid to scare people about climate, and actual facts are irrelevant to them.
It certainly has been cooler here in North Carolina the last few years. Ten years ago it was much hotter with many days over 90F and a lot over 95F. Now we barely see temps up to 95F.
I have 2 questions, but I am not sure where to post…
Is there any evidence or data collected that would suggest at any point in the history (4.5 Billion years) of planet earth, that the surface was completely covered in water and there was no land? Moving on from this, what evidence or data exists regarding the least land available during the history of the earth?
These may seem either a bit stupid or lame, but it bears thinking about…..
Given that it has only taken mankind a couple of hundred years (if that) to build the entire Manhattan Island city – I don’t see moving as an issue….. (I also don’t see the need to move as ever being an issue)….
Sorry for being off thread…
For what it is worth the Appalachians mtns date back more than 480 million years and were as high or higher than the Rockies are today. WIKI – Geology of the Appalachians (other sources given)
For terraforming, check out Asa G. Sheldon (1788-1870) of Wilmington Massachusetts. His 1862 autobiography Life of Asa G. Sheldon, Wilmington Farmer details how he was commissioned to take down Pemberton Hill Boston and use it as fill on the north side of Causeway Street.

I have his book and it is an interesting read.

Suggest that you buy this book. The Resilient Earth: Science, Global Warming and the Future of Humanity
http://www.amazon.com/The-Resilient-Earth-Science-Humanity/dp/143921154X?tag=duckduckgo-ffab-20
Written for the layman, it lays out the history of the earth and the science upon which it is based and much much more, presented in the context of the current argument about AGW. It is where I started when I began to try and get a handle on all of this stuff and I have never regretted it. Read it cover to cover twice and still use it today as a reference at times. Very affordable and very readable for the person without a scientific background.
Perhaps it’s hotter in Australia and Indonesia than a century ago, is anyone looking into that? After all, it’s global warming, not certain areas but not others. Anyhow, the far worse problem is pollution of the oceans, rivers and air, deforestation and desertification, which has been going on for more than half a century all over the globe and continues. For instance, more than 40 years ago it was well known that diesel engine exhaust was very harmful to our respiratory system. Why is there so little talk and action on pollution?
The highest recorded temperatures in Australia are from around 1895.
If you look at the general trend of temps down here (sans BOM homogenisation) we see a sort of smile with the low point around 1960
ps.. data before 1910 is not used by BOM, for obvious reasons.
JoNova has had many threads on BOM’s temperature manipulation shenanigans.. …
… which for some reason nearly always lead to the creation of a warming trend. 😉
