A report by the Environmental Protection Agency three years ago said the warming trend could start by the 1990’s and could reach as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2040, but this was attacked by President Reagan’s science adviser at the time, George A. Keyworth, as ”unnecessarily alarmist.”

Now we are stuck with pathetic losers like Romney and McCain.

The same large oscillations in the jet stream which made the US cold this winter, have the potential to cause major heatwaves this summer. I will describe it as excess cold Arctic air dislodging tropical heat.

Sochi: The warmest Winter Olympics in history? A warm winter isn’t unusual for Sochi, a city often warm enough to support palm trees.

Apparently the palm trees come and go with the moods of the weather.

The EPA says that the 1930’s were much hotter

Afternoon temperatures have been plummeting in the US for 80 years. NOAA/NASA hide this by tampering with the data.

Very hot days were much more common during the 1930’s

Hansen was aware of this in 1999, but seems to have mysteriously forgotten.

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.

IDEAS & TRENDS (CONTINUED); A DIRE LONG-RANGE FORECAST By JAMES GLEICK Published: May 12, 1985

Beginning in a decade or two, scientists expect the warming of the atmosphere to melt the polar icecaps, raising the level of the seas, flooding coastal areas, eroding the shores and sending salt water far into fresh-water estuaries. Storm patterns will change, drying out some areas, swamping others and generally throwing agriculture into turmoil. Federal climate experts have suggested that within a century the greenhouse effect could turn New York City into something with the climate of Daytona Beach, Fla.

February 1936 was very similar to this month.

The summer of 1936 was the hottest on record.

If NCDC didn’t tamper with the data, the warming scam would collapse instantly. Measured temperatures in blue. Reported temperatures in red.
