July of 1936 brought incomprehensibly hot weather to Nebraska. Minden was over 100 degrees almost every day – with fifteen days over 105F, seven days over 110F, and two days over 115F. On this date in 1936, the temperature reached 118F.
CO2 was well below 350 PPM at that time.

The world’s best climate scientist – James Hansen – says that bad heatwaves were impossible in 1936.
We conclude that extreme heat waves, such as that in Texas and Oklahoma in 2011 and Moscow in 2010, were “caused” by global warming, because their likelihood was negligible prior to the recent rapid global warming. We discuss practical implications of this substantial, growing climate change.

Steve,
Do they have a list of the adjusted (GISS for example) temperatures for Minden, NE to see the before and after? I would be curious to see how much they lowered these values.
Also, is it still predicted to get very cold for our rowing friends this week?
GISS doesn’t publish daily temperatures, only adjusted monthly temperatures.
Hansen could say that because he had “Fixed” all the previous heat waves. Look how well he fixed the temperatures in the thirties and seventies. He smoothed those puppies right out. He even “Fixed”1998.
