“Since 1970, the Arctic has experienced a larger warming trend than most of the globe, leading to decreasing Arctic sea-ice cover, melting of the Greenland ice sheet and rising sea levels. Sudden jumps in temperatures in the region occur on a short timescale that is invisible to most climate models. Selecting the models that capture trends for 10- or 20-year periods can allow more accurate predictions of Arctic climate change and its effects”

Hi Petr,

I saw this article in LANL news “Arctic temperatures are increasing 4 times faster than global warming” and was trying to figure out why the article left out the pre-1970 data.

In 2009 you wrote :
“the Arctic warming from 1910–1940 proceeded at a significantly faster rate than the current 1970–2008 warming”

Did the LANL press office misrepresent your work?

Thanks,
Tony

“As with warm daily temperatures, heat wave magnitude reached a maximum in the 1930s. The frequency of intense heat waves (4-day, 1-in-5 year events) has generally increased since the 1960s in most regions except the Midwest and the Great Plains”

“WEATHER RECORDS IN 12 MONTHS EXTREME

Has Been Coldest, Hottest, Dryest, Wettest In U S. Over Large Area.

Washington, July 9, (AP) — A dizzying succession of phenomenal weather — most of it bad, has made the last 12 months one of the most remarkable periods on the weather bureau’s books. In one part of the country or another, weather men have recorded the coldest winter, the hottest summer, the worst floods, the most devastating dust storms| and the most severe tornadoes and hurricanes in history. The central and eastern portions of the country recorded the extremes in low temperatures during the winter of 1935-36,

“At Devils Lake, N. D. Bureau officials said, “there was established a winter temperature record that probably had no parallel in the weather history of this country for a first-order weather bureau station. The temperature went below freezing on November 27 and did not rise to the freezing point until March 1, a period of 96 days.”

The average temperature for January and February at Devils Lake was 13 degrees below zero.

FROM COLD TO HOT. It is in this same region where record heat is now being recorded within the last week, A report of 112 degrees was received from Devils Lake. Kennebec, S. D., reported a maximum of 119 degrees.

Temperatures in the Dakotas have ranged around and over 100 degrees for more than a week,”

Temperatures at Fort Yates, North Dakota ranged from -50F on February 16, 1936 to 119F on July 6, 1936, a warm up of 169 degrees.

‘The official high reading in New York City of 102.3 was taken at 2:50 P. M., 415 feet above the sun- baked pavements and melting asphalt roadways, by Weather Bureau officials on the roof of the Whitehall Building and tempered by bay breezes.

But it did not tell the true story. The instrument for measuring the sun’s intensity set up in the Central Park Observatory by David R. Morris, meteorologist, gave a reading of 145 degrees at 12:40 P, M., while the reading in the shade was 106 degrees at 5 P. M.

Life expectancy has increased tremendously around the world including Africa.

The problem they have in Africa is a lack of access to fossil fuels and have to cook with dung or wood.

“According to the Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report published in 2022, 91 per cent of the world’s population had access to electricity and 69 per cent had access to clean cooking fuels and technologies in 2020. Clean cooking fuels include, for example, electricity, biogas, solar, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and ethanol.”

Global cooling is what causes drought in Africa, not global warming.

“Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds —the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa’s drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India,”
