“Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Data Center in Asheville, N. C.
While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.
“In spite of all the well-publicized concern about global warming, you must understand that there is still considerable uncertainty among scientific experts about a number of critical factors which determine global warming,” NOAA administrator John Knauss said in a statement issued for the geophysics meeting.”

Now NOAA shows almost 0.4C warming from 1921 to 1979
Without writing, without records, man is no better than a savage.
This is all out of kilter with the 1940 tropical period and the coming ice age of the 1970s, It doesn’t match at all with the extreme heat of the 1930s. I guess they can get any graph they want, if they interject assumed or calculated values in all the places where they had no temperature readings. You’d have a clean slate to plug in whatever you want based on the scantiest information.
Despite the current hysteria about climate change, the alarmist industry is still really only talking about, global warming. They talk of something called, “climate warming” and call it, climate change.
A change of climate is something that takes decades of daily records to identify, using the Koppen-Geiger Climate Classisication System.
These records must include;
Temperature
Humidity
Atmospheric Pressure
Prevailing Wind
Precipitation
Other factors affecting climate include;
Altitude
Latitude/Longtitude
Geography/Topography
Lakes/Inland Seas
Seas/Oceans and their currents.
Yet all we ever get is, incessant carping about temperature, which they call, “climate”!
