Remember last week, when Arctic experts were certain that winter-like storms would break up the ice, and that they would be able to blame it on global warming?

They can’t predict next week, but their 30 year forecasts are rock solid. 97% of scientists agree.

During the two weeks from August 12-August 26, 1936  Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma afternoon temperatures averaged 105F, and 93 percent of days were over 100F. Nine percent of days were over 110F.

Peak, minimum, and maximum temperatures are declining.

1967 had the largest temperature range, and 1968 had the smallest.

The frequency of hot days and cold nights is decreasing, as is the average daily temperature range.  In other words, the climate is getting less extreme.

August 14 temperatures peaked in the US in 1936, then plummeted to a record low in 2004.

The heatwave of August 14, 1936 killed many people and brought temperatures up to 120 degrees.

The entire central portion of the US was over 100 degrees, with Kansas at 115 degrees..

If this happened now climate scientists would say they were 100% certain it was your fault, and demand immediate world communism to solve the problem.

There is more ice than the area of Texas and temperatures are below freezing, but it is all going to melt in the next two weeks. And if you don’t believe it, you are an evil fossil fuel funded denier seeking to destroy the planet.
