“Trump’s next climate move: Show global warming benefits humanity”
In 1974, NOAA explained how a warmer climate benefits humanity.
“Annual average temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere increased rather dramatically from about 1890 through 1940, but have been falling ever since. The total change has averaged about one-half degree Centigrade, with the greatest cooling in higher latitudes. A drop of only one or two degrees Centigrade in the annual average temperature at higher latitudes can shorten the growing season so that some crops have to be abandoned. There is reason to believe, for example, that rice was once grown far north of its present boundary in parts of Asia.
According to British meteorologist Hubert Lamb, the average growing season in England is already two weeks shorter than it was before 1950. Since the late 1950’s, Iceland’s hay crop yield has dropped about 25 percent, while pack ice in waters around Iceland and Greenland ports is becoming the hazard to navigation it was during the 17th and 18th centuries.
At lower latitudes, as in the Sahel, the amount of precipitation available during certain phases of the growing season is critical to food production. The kind of climatic variation now in progress includes changes in the tracks of precipitation-producing storms through major grain-producing regions.
In India, for example, before the global warming trend of 1890-1940, severe drought struck about once every four years. With the warming, however, and more abundant monsoon rains, drought came only once every 18 years or so, greatly increasing India’s grain production. Some climatologists think that if the current cooling trend continues, drought will occur more frequently in India—indeed, through much of Asia, the world’s hungriest continent.”
Climate change is shifting hurricane tracks to the north. Climate change is also shifting hurricane tracks to the south.

“Yes, climate change is likely causing a northward shift in hurricane tracks, particularly in the North Atlantic, with the potential for more intense storms to reach regions previously less exposed to them. “

“Scientists say signs point to another ice age
BY DONALD C. KIRKMAN Scripps Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON: A group of scientists say there are disturbing signs that the world’s average temperature has started to decline and that the Earth may face another catastrophic ice age in hundreds or thousands of years.
In a report soon to be released, the scientists say evidence is accumulating that the world has experienced unusually warm temperatures for the last 10,000 years and soon will revert to a colder, more hostile climate that man will find difficult to cope with.
The report is based on the findings of 46 geologists, climatologists and paleontologists who met last year at Brown University, Providence, R.I., to review recent studies of fossils, rock layers, sea sediments and biology.
Almost unanimously, these scientists agreed the world definitely will have another ice age similar to the one that ended 20,000 years ago when vast ice sheets covered large stretches of North America, Europe and Asia.
The only question, they believe is exactly when the new ice age will begin—or whether it already has begun.
“There already are signs the Earth is cooling in a cycle similar to those that heralded earlier great glaciations,” the report says. “And while it may take several centuries before any major global effects are felt and several thousand years before ice sheets reform, preliminary signs are already apparent.”
With the warm age ending, the scientists say the world logically can expect a colder, drier climate to crowd man southwards and reduce the world’s cultivatable land resources. Ice sheets once again could reach as far south as Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago in about 20,000 years.
“In the future, the report says, vast areas of Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia increasingly will be affected by dryness of rainfall with its associated scourges—drought, soil erosion and starvation.”
To cope with this harsh, cooler world, man will have to call upon all his ingenuity and resourcefulness.”
