Prior to 60 years ago, 100 degree weather in the US was quite common during September. During the early 1950’s almost one fourth of the US would reach 100 degrees sometime during September. During September 1939, 40% of US stations reached 100F during September. But since 1955 the US has seen little September hot weather, with 100 degree weather mainly confined to the desert southwest.
Wait till I post the heatwave data of September 29, 1953. It will blow you away.
September 14 temperatures have plummeted in the US over the past 90 years.
I keep driving home the point that September used to be a very hot month in the US. On this date in 1939, a spectacular heatwave covered the eastern half of the US, with Indiana reaching 107 degrees. Temperatures this hot are incomprehensible now.

The Arctic melt season was several weeks shorter than normal this year, and the ice is growing very rapidly.
One reason for this is that the people measuring the ice are missing large areas of ice. Note there is not supposed to be any ice near Alaska.
However, satellite imagery shows that there is plenty of ice near Alaska, at concentrations slightly lower than 15%. That means the water is cold in those regions and will freeze up quickly.
Glaciers in Greenland have been growing for several years. Gavin Schmidt at NASA says the last few years have been the hottest years ever.
In 1939, Greenland glaciers were rapidly disappearing, and facing catastrophic collapse.

The graph below shows how glaciers grow during Gavin’s hot years, and rapidly melt during his cold years.
Last month at the Democratic Convention, Sigourney Weaver was on the verge of tears talking about the horrible drought in Texas. The poor ranchers who didn’t have any grass to feed their cows.
Fabulous performance for Sigourney, but the last two years have been the wettest in Texas history. How many dozens of Texas Democrats sat there and said nothing while she spewed this nonsense?

Progressives simply make things up, and then never let go of their lies.
In 1907, glaciers were shrinking “remarkably.”

According to Gavin Schmidt at NASA, earth was cooling, CO2 levels were very low, and 1907 was one of the coldest years on record.
If you believe NASA temperature graphs are legitimate, then you also have to believe glacial melting has nothing to do with global warming.
Gavin Schmidt at NASA has boldly disappeared the global warming pause, which everyone including himself and Michael Mann agreed upon was real.
Gavin’s claim is the opposite of what the IPCC says.
Does “Global Warming Pause” Debate Miss Big Picture?
Gavin ignores more accurate satellite data, which shows no warming over land for the past 15 years. The pause is very real.

Gavin has massively altered earlier versions of his own data. The graph below combines 1999 NASA temperatures with 21st century satellite temperatures, and shows 0.6C warming over the past 140 years.
Gavin now shows twice as much total warming – 1.2C.
The animation below shows how Gavin has doubled global warming via politically motivated junk science.
