In 1988, NASA’s James Hansen claimed droughts re getting worse, and that the odds of drought in the 1950’s were only one in twenty.
The exact opposite has happened. and in fact the frequency of drought in the 1950’s was 50%, not 5% as Hansen claimed. How could he make a mistake that bad, and not be called out on it by the New York Times?

The worst drought in US history was in 1934, when 80% of the US was in drought.
The 1934 drought was also the worst in England’s history.
[ARCHIVED CONTENT] Environment Agency – What does historical data tell?
In fact, the 1934 drought was worldwide – with CO2 below 310 PPM.
There is no correlation between drought and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Why aren’t climate scientists interested in doing some actual research, and finding out what caused the 1934 global drought – rather than just blaming farmers in Oklahoma for it like they usually do.
“How could he make a mistake that bad, and not be called out on it by the New York Times?”
The news is what ever the New York Times says it is. And that wasn’t news.
“How could he make a mistake that bad, and not be called out on it by the New York Times?”
Because the Times is not in the business of selling the truth, they are in the business of selling advertisements. Expecting the get the truth from newspapers is like expecting to buy shoes at the quicky oil change garage.
The NYT used to do in depth reporting on other government mistakes, even little ones like here:
Indeed.
Remember Jayson Blair?
Yes, a very talented young man.
“Why aren’t climate scientists interested in doing some actual research, and finding out what caused the 1934 global drought”
That sums up my main concern over fear mongering and politics running science.
There’s no money in it.
Pacific periodicity?
ENSO-korrelation?
“There’s no money in it.”
That is both quite true, and also not true. The historical record (which we see here a lot) has many lessons, and the biggest one seems to be that most people do not learn from the past.
There are very, very few real Climate Scientists… by far most are just hacks with some ScYience Background.. sucked into the Politics of Climate Change… desire to change the World bullshit with a dose of Fake grEEn..
Everyone wants a clean World…
Google the backgrounds on some of these IPCC Panel folks who do all the editing.. direct the Media Narrative.. most are total hacks .. have ZERO Field Experience… sit in their mohagany offices transmogrifying data…
Jo Nova has a report on the work of a retired scientist. He is in Australia and validates the findings of a scientist in Germany. (Reported at NoTricksZone.)
He also discusses the effect of drought on temperature. The more rain, the less chance of a high maximum. The sun’s energy goes into evaporating the moisture in the ground instead.
Blockbuster: Are hot days in Australia mostly due to low rainfall, and electronic thermometers — not CO2?
Blame dry weather and electronic sensors for a lot of Australia’s warming trend…
Just to add in the other cause of ‘adjustments’
From Frank Lansner who actually is using the original data in his research:
And another bit of information on the problem with the electronic instruments:
A rather good synopsis of the history & intent of the warming/climate scam:

Light on the depopulation aspect, but good.
Deliberately planned depopulation, would seem to be the only rational reason for the EU and the USA to welcome jihadists within their borders.
Either that or our ‘leaders’ are raving bonkers.
Depopulation, yes, but the immigration is to first destroy western culture and family. After that, depopulation will be easier.
Yep. Destroy the family & Christianity seems to be the plan.
A homogeneous remnant (5%?) serf population on every continent?
The Hunger Games is where they’re herding us?
Pray for Putin?
God only knows.
JD.
Yep. The vast majority coming to the EU are young fit solo males.
& the West has been bombing & invading 7 Muslim countries on the basis of lies for the past 14 years, unless you want to go back to Sykes-Picot, or the crusades. 🙂
The world is becoming a madhouse.
The problem with the large change to ASOS and using airport data as climate data, is just huge. Much larger than possible to explain in a post here.
This is what matters the important stuff

A lengthy, frank and open discussion of AGW with Smithsonian’s Dr. Kenneth M. Towe on ResearchGate reveals how humans were “dehumanized” and “internationalized“ to save the world from nuclear annihilation after WWII.
In discussing the possibility that “A natural solar eruption today might trigger a retaliatory nuclear exchange that would literally DESTROY MODERN CIVILIZATION,” Smithsonian’s Dr. Kenneth M. Towe said “If a solar storm occurred today, we will have had forecasts already that it was coming. No nuclear attack will happen…at least for that reason, because the world will know in advance that communications can be disrupted.”
When questioned about the reliability of solar storm forecasts and sharing those forecasts with the leaders of all other nuclear nations – China, England, France, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, etc. . . .
Dr. Kenneth M. Towe replied “Solar eruptions are 100% predictable“ and “Communications worldwide have come a long way . . .“
LOCK-STEP, CONSENSUS SCIENCE probably begins in that worldwide council of frightened leaders of nuclear nations trying to avoid nuclear annihilation by promoting falsehoods about the source of energy (E) stored as mass (m) in cores heavy atoms, some planets, ordinary stars and galaxies:
