Britain lost 30,000 men evacuating Dunkirk, and Churchill predicted England would be attacked “almost immediately.”
05 Jun 1940, Page 13 – The Sydney Morning Herald
Churchill was correct, and American progressives and scientists predictably blamed the US “warmongers.”
June 6, 1940 – ENGLAND IS BOMBED! | Chicago Tribune Archive
Tens of millions of people died because America didn’t get involved earlier. Nothing ever changes.
The New York Times said yesterday that heatwaves in the past were “virtually unheard of in the 1950s”, temperatures approaching 130 degrees didn’t used to occur, and summer temperatures have shifted towards more extreme heat.
It’s Not Your Imagination. Summers Are Getting Hotter. – The New York Times
Every single claim in the article is patently false, and the exact opposite of reality. The authors intentionally started their study in a cold period, after the extreme heat of the 1930’s.
Then they chose a baseline which included the coolest period on record, and declared the record cool to be normal.
The EPA graph above is helpful, but isn’t very accurate. Summers were much hotter during the 1950’s, and heatwaves have been plummeting in frequency, intensity and duration over the past century..

If New York Times writers actually read the New York Times, they would have known that temperatures approaching 130 degrees occurred in Australia in 1896, including several days of 129 degrees in “proper shade” 500 miles west of Sydney.
They would have known that New York also had a massive heatwave in 1896, another in 1901, and that California was 134 degrees in 1913.

The New York Times headlines from the 1901 heatwave were quite remarkable.
Later in July 1901, the heatwave expanded to Europe
And continued into August.
UNPRECEDENTED HEAT IN ITALY.; Vineyards Shriveled Up — People Forced to Sleep in the Open Air.
The study quoted by the New York Times was written by James Hansen, who in 1999 knew perfectly well that the 1930’s and 1950’s were very hot, and that the US had been cooling since the 1930’s.
Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.
in the U.S. there has been little temperature change in the past 50 years, the time of rapidly increasing greenhouse gases — in fact, there was a slight cooling throughout much of the country
- James Hansen 1999

If they would have read their own paper, they would have known that James Hansen is lying about 1950’s heatwaves, which were among the most severe in US history.
CROP DISASTER SEEN IN MIDWESTERN HEAT – The New York Times
Hansen’s transition to the dark side of climate fraud accelerated after 1999, when he started cooling the past and warming the present.
Since Hansen retired, Gavin Schmidt has taken over as chief fraudster at NASA – further cooling the past and warming the present.
Hansen also predicted that Lower Manhattan would drown between 2008 and 2018, and still believes it.
“The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”
When did he say this will happen?
Within 20 or 30 years. And remember we had this conversation in 1988 or 1989.
Does he still believe these things?
Yes, he still believes everything. I talked to him a few months ago and he said he wouldn’t change anything that he said then.
It is unfortunate that current New York Times authors don’t do any research, don’t read their own paper, and simply parrot lies and idiocy from the same government funded frauds – over and over again.
If you have 15 minutes, grab some popcorn and watch me dismantle the New York Times and James Hansen.
The official record high for Minnesota was 100 years ago today, 115F at Beardsley.
U.S. state temperature extremes – Wikipedia
But I have my doubts. It looks to me like that probably occurred a day earlier, on July 28, when other stations in the region recorded over 110F.
That heatwave peaked on July 28, not July 29.
Detroit Lakes hasn’t had a day over 105 degrees since 1936, when they had three.
Summer heat in Minnesota plummeted after the 1930’s, with this summer being one of the coolest on record so far.
If Minnesota started having heat again like they did in the 1930’s, experts would be 100% certain it was due to CO2 – and would demand immediate world communism to fix it.
Amazing what I see on my bicycle every day.
The hunted, and the hunter.
From 1917 to 2016, July maximum temperatures in the US dropped about 1.5F.
Even more remarkable is that all 31 individual days in July cooled over the same time period. The animation below cycles through each of the days. The 1930’s were much hotter than recent years on each day of the month.
But never mind actual data. Global warming is going to make Aardvarks starve to death.
Not wanting to fall behind Hillary, John McCain has written his own book.
US July 28 afternoon temperatures have dropped almost two degrees over the past century.
On July 28, 1931 the average afternoon temperature of the US was 94 degrees. There were 90F+ readings in every state. and 100 degree readings coast to coast and north to south. Norwalk, Ohio was 100 degrees on July 28, 1931. Today’s forecast high is 76 degrees.
If we had temperatures like that now, climate scientists would be 100% certain it was due to increased CO2 emissions, and would demand immediate world communism.
Alarmists complain that I focus on the US, and the US is only 5% of the Earth’s surface. There is very good reason to focus on the US. About 90% of the useful long-term temperature record is located in the US. It is impossible to do this sort of analysis in any other large region.
The idea of a global temperature record is a complete farce, because we don’t have long term min/max data over 95% of the planet.
As heatwaves become less common and less severe, criminals known as “climate scientists” and their cohorts in the press continue to lie to the public about heatwaves.
NOAA has determined that June 2017 was third hottest on record.
This included record heat in South Sudan and the Central African Republic and a very hot Eurasia.
Never mind that they don’t actually have any thermometer readings in South Sudan and the Central African Republic. “Gray areas represent missing data.” And never mind their actual thermometer readings in Eurasia showed a significant percentage of below normal temperatures.
And never mind that satellites actually measured temperatures in South Sudan and the Central African Republic – and found that they were just about average.

NOAA still believes they are tasked with keeping the global warming scam alive, so they make up fake data to bump temperatures up. Then they get Zeke to tell the press that they actually adjust temperatures down.
It is time to drain the climate swamp.
