On this date in 1908, Amherst MA reached 90 degrees. Today’s forecast high is 40 degrees cooler with a freeze warning for tonight.

October temperatures in Amherst have been dropping since the 1940s. Their coldest October was in 2008.

The warmest October in Amherst was 1947, which had seven afternoons over 80 degrees, and averaged almost 72 degrees.

The 1908 heatwave was not localized to Massachusetts. Laurel, MD was also 90 degrees on this date in 1908. Most of the Northeast reached 80 degrees, and many stations reached 85 degrees.

This year’s October 17 forecast for the Northeast is cold.

White House criminals predict 4.5 to 10 degrees warming in the Northeast, in defiance of all observed data, science and basic common sense.

The climate criminals at the White House claim that recent Midwest heatwaves (i.e. 2012) were longer and more intense than earlier heatwaves.

the country had their highest number of short-duration heat waves in the 1930s, when the multi-year severe drought of the Dust Bowl period, combined with deleterious land-use practices, contributed to the intense summer heat through depletion of soil moisture and reduction of the moderating effects of evaporation. However, the recent prolonged (multi-month) extreme heat has been unprecedented since the start of reliable instrumental records in 1895.The recent heat waves and droughts in Texas (2011) and the Midwest (2012) set records for highest monthly average temperatures, exceeding in some cases records set in the 1930s

This level of fraud by the White House is spectacular – even for Barack Obama. The frequency of hot days in the Midwest has plummeted to near record lows in recent years.

The duration of Midwest heatwaves has also plummeted to near record lows

In order to visualize the depth of the White House depravity, let’s test their record Midwest heatwave of 2012 at one station in Missouri. During 1919, Caruthersville, MO had 77 consecutive days over 90 degrees. It was hotter almost every day in summer 1919 than 2012, and the summer averaged 8°F hotter in 1919.

By every metric, heatwaves have become much less common and much less intense in the US and the Midwest. Even the EPA knows that the Obama White House is lying.

President Obama has an agenda to make electricity prices skyrocket in the US, and no fraud is too big towards that end.

Atmospheric CO2 has risen by 100 parts per million (one part per ten thousand) over the past century. That is equivalent to packing one extra person into this Bernie “everything will be free” Sanders rally.

Experts claim that this one molecule has heated the other 10,000 molecules up by more than one degree centigrade.

In order for one molecule to heat up 10,000 other molecules by 1°C, the effective temperature of that one molecule would have to be 10,000°C – about twice the temperature of the surface of the Sun.

Only a complete moron would believe something so ludicrous, which is why they say 97% of scientists agree on this utter nonsense.

Denis Balibouse of Reuters is claiming that the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland is disappearing “because of climate change.”

Vast Alpine glacier could almost vanish by 2100 due to warming GREAT ALETSCH GLACIER, SWITZERLAND

DENIS BALIBOUSE

One of Europe’s biggest glaciers, the Great Aletsch, coils 23 km (14 miles) through the Swiss Alps – and yet this mighty river of ice could almost vanish in the lifetimes of people born today because of climate change.

The glacier, 900 meters (2,950 feet) thick at one point, has retreated about 3 km (1.9 miles) since 1870 and that pace is quickening, as with many other glaciers around the globe.

That is feeding more water into the oceans and raising world sea levels.

The average rate of retreat the article is claiming since 1870 is 69 feet per year.

The Aletsch Glacier shrank 380 feet from 1900 to 1908, which according to NASA was the coldest period on record, with declining temperatures.

Glaciers in the Alps were retreating “considerably more than 100 ft per year” prior to 1902, which was a cold period of declining temperatures according to NASA.

Denis Balibouse is describing a phenomenon which has been going on at a similar rate for one and a half centuries, during periods of declining temperatures and much lower CO2, He is blaming it on “climate change” without presenting one shred of evidence to back his assertion. This is standard operating procedure among climate fraudsters. He claims to do research, but is simply parroting propaganda.

Most of the west had a very quiet fire season. Here in Colorado, the fire season was one of the quietest on record. Same was true in New Mexico and Wyoming. But due to some large fires in Alaska, the total burn acreage was the highest in a decade.

The US government wasted no time declaring the nine million acres to be a record.

Had anyone in the US government bothered to check their own fire records, they would have known that there were more than four times as many fires in 1938, and that burn acreage in 1938 was almost four times s large as 2015.

The 1930’s were much hotter and drier in the US. Even NASA’s James Hansen knows this.

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 1999, NASA’s James Hansen wrote that the US was cooling, even as greenhouse gases rapidly increased.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought

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 (Figure 2).

The US has (by far) the most credible temperature record in the world, so this cooling was devastating to their global warming theory. NASA responded to this challenge as they always do, by tampering with the data and making the cooling disappear.

Baltimore’s finest native son was Sarah Rawlings Blake HL Mencken. He explained the Obama game plan, a century ago.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Global warming is about trying to scare the stupid 47% of the population, otherwise known as Democrats. They use tampered, cherry picked, maps and graphs like Heidi Cullen’s map below, with red colors intended to scare frozen people into believing they are burning up.

The actual underlying data shows that US maximum temperatures peaked in the 1930’s, and have been generally declining ever since.

The area of the US seeing hot weather has plummeted in the US.

The vast majority of maximum temperature records in the US were set before 1940.

The data doesn’t back up any of the government’s lies, so they simply alter it. Heidi Cullen claims that Michigan is the second fastest warming state.

In fact, there has been zero warming in Michigan over the past century, with recent years among their coldest.

There is no indication that the US is getting hotter, or will get hotter in the future.  But there is a massive industry built up around lying to people about this topic.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Ten years ago, James Hansen (who predicted that Manhattan would be underwater by 2008) complained that NASA didn’t want him making policy statements which he wasn’t authorized to make.

Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him – New York Times

Barack Obama promised to change that, which he did. He wants to prosecute any scientists which disagree with his junk science.

Obama is using the same model which the Vatican did in the 16th century, to intimidate scientists into compliance with the official agenda.

Science can’t function in an environment where the government is intimidating and bribing scientists into a “consensus” – which is exactly what Barack Obama wants. He is using scientists to achieve a political agenda, and the very last thing he wants is an honest scientific discussion to interfere.

President Eisenhower warned us about the dangers of an Obama 55 years ago.

“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present  and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific/technological elite.”

Next week will mark a record ten years since Florida was hit by a hurricane. The frequency of Florida hurricane landfalls has plummeted since the 1950’s, and they only occur half as often as they did when Abraham Lincoln was president. Florida hurricanes peaked during the 1940s.

Next week will mark a record ten years since the US was hit by a major (Category 3-5) hurricane. Major hurricane landfalls peaked in the US during the 1940’s and have been declining ever since – with the exception of a large spike during 2004/2005.

The usual fraudsters, Mann, Schmidt, Rhamstorf and Connolley predicted the exact opposite in 2005.
