Hot in Europe
17 Jul 1896 – HEAT-WAVE IN EUROPE.
A ten day heatwave during August 1896 killed thousands of people in the US, many of them in New York.
Climate science was destroyed by Arrhenius in 1896, and never recovered.
As early as in 1896, Swedish physicist Arrhenius proposed that the presence of atmospheric greenhouse gases may result in warmer surface temperatures on Earth than a simple radiative balance would imply. A comparison between measured surface temperatures and estimated effective temperatures (assuming the planets behave like black bodies and are at radiational equilibrium) of the planets in our solar system has later revealed that planets with thick atmospheres, such as Venus and Earth, have a warmer surface than a simple radiation equilibrium can explain (Houghton 1991). The high surface temperature can be attributed to the greenhouse effect proposed by Arrhenius
If climate scientists were actual scientists, they would want to understand the record heat of 1896. Instead they simply try to make it disappear.
