“EXCEPTIONAL YEARS.
A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FLOODS AND DROUGHT.

BY J. M. GUINN.  March 4, 1889

If there is one characteristic of his State, of which the true Californian is prouder than another, it is its climate. With his tables of mean temperature and records of cloudless days and gentle sunshine, he is prepared to prove that California has the most glorious climate in the world, Should the rains descend and the floods prevail, or should the heavens become as brass, and neither the former nor the latter rains fall, these climatic extremes, he excuses on the plea of exceptional years, It is with the record that these exceptional years have made that I propose to deal in this paper. Equable conditions, whether climatic or social, have nothing of the tragic in them, and history delights in the tragic. While Central and Southern California have been about equally affected by floods and droughts, my record of their effects applies principally to Southern California.

Fifteen Years Of Toasted Earth

In 2008, Seth Borenstein quoted academics as saying we are toast and this is our last chance. Fifteen years later he is still quoting academics saying the same thing

“We’re toast if we don’t get on a very different path,” Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences

To cut emissions, Hansen said coal-fired power plants that don’t capture carbon dioxide emissions shouldn’t be used in the United States after 2025, and should be eliminated in the rest of the world by 2030.

“We see a tipping point occurring right before our eyes,” Hansen told the AP before the luncheon. “The Arctic is the first tipping point and it’s occurring exactly the way we said it would.”

Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., committee chairman, said, “Dr. Hansen was right. Twenty years later, we recognize him as a climate prophet.”

Magical Wind Power

“Wind Turbine Coupled with Perpetual Motion

model will be constructed to apply our idea on a wind turbine, last we started tests on both a normal wind turbine and a wind turbine with a perpetual motion blades and observed the results, which led us to conclude that perpetual motion can be applied on wind turbine and have a better results depending on the design.”

Erasing The MWP And LIA

In 1992 the New York Times announced that the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were global, but the following year Al Gore became vice-president and the process of erasing them began.

“We can now see that these were global climate phenomena, not regional temperature variations,” she said. “The question is, how did we get those warmer temperatures during pre-industrial times, and what can we learn from those conditions about what is going on today?”

In New Data on Climate Changes, Decades, Not Centuries, Count – The New York Times

“In 1995, I published a short paper in the academic journal Science. In that study, I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in North America over the last 100 to 150 years. The week the article appeared, I was contacted by a reporter for National Public Radio. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me.”

“I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.”

“it would be foolish to establish national energy policy on the basis of misinformation and irrational hysteria.”
