Winter temperatures here in Wyoming have been declining over the last twenty years. So far this winter it has been the 14th coldest on record and coldest in thirty years – with cold forecast for the rest of the month. The trend has been downwards since the 1930’s, other than a blip from 1988 to 1999, with the warmest winter occurring in 1934. The winter of 1934 averaged thirteen degrees warmer than this winter.

NOAA tampers with the data to turn a cooling trend into a warming trend.

Valentines Day temperatures in the southeast US have declined nearly ten degrees over the past century as CO2 has increased.

The warmest Valentines Day in the US occurred in 1921, which was the second warmest year in the US since 1895 after 1934. The coldest Valentines Day was a century later in 2021.

The percent of days over 60F during 1921 was the highest since 1895.

The heatwave of 1921 extended around the world.

We met Wyoming’s new representative in Congress today.  Harriet Hageman is everything Liz Cheney wasn’t – sharp, knowledgeable, articulate, honest and lives in Wyoming – a couple of blocks away.

She is going to be a powerful force in Republican politics, and has been involved in energy/climate law for decades. I was impressed by her grasp and ability to articulate about many key issues without missing a beat.

“By Prof ?brahim Özdemir, UN advisor

On Monday, earthquakes in my country Turkey and neighbouring Syria left a trail of unprecedented devastation and a death toll surpassing 16,000 people at the last count.

We do not know for sure what triggered this horrific natural disaster, but we do know there is growing scientific evidence that climate change increases the risk of such tremors, together with tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.

Climate and weather-related disasters have surged five-fold over the past five decades, killing over two million people, with 91% of the casualties in developing countries.”

Death rates from natural disasters are down 97.5% over the past century, and 75% over the last five decades.

“Disasters include all geophysical, meteorological and climate events including earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, drought, wildfires, storms, and flooding”

This week in 1898, one of the largest forest fires in US history occurred – during winter. If that happened now, climate scientists would say with great certainty that the fires were caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
