Autumn chill takes its grip as temperatures plunge to -7.3C 

I remember warm November days at the beach in Bournemouth during the 1960s, but global warming has turned the weather cold.

June 16, 1947

Greenland is getting greener and Iceland’s ice is shrinking. The Arctic is losing its chill. According to Dr. Hans Ahlmann, professor of geography at Stockholm University, all the cold lands around the northernmost Atlantic are entering a balmier climatological era.

Dr. Ahlmann has been collecting evidence from a variety of sources: temperature records, glaciers, trees, fish. In the Scandinavian countries, he says, the winters have been getting milder since the 19th Century.

In the heyday of the Vikings, before 1300 A.D., the populous republic of Iceland lived largely by agriculture; the Norse raised sheep in Greenland, where no sheep graze today. After 1300, the cold crept down and the Icelanders gave up farming. The Greenlanders were exterminated, perhaps by starvation, perhaps by glacier-fleeing Eskimos. Now that the tide has turned, Dr. Ahlmann, a good Norseman, hopes the warm cycle will last for at least a few centuries.

He will have to disappear the Nobel Prize from the IPCC, like he did the MWP. The graph below was in the first IPCC report.

Our Opinion: Global warming up of sea monster?

when global warming finally melts the polar ice cap, we don’t really know what we’ll find under it. There’s nothing like a 150 million-year hibernation to make a 40-foot pliosaur work up an appetite.

Major Frankenstorm Hazel in October, 1954 brought 98 MPH winds to Washington DC – the highest ever recorded. A cold front collided with a major hurricane. No one was stupid enough in 1954 to blame the storm on CO2.

Katherine Hayhoe is convinced that heavy rainfall events in West Texas are due to global warming. The closest USHCN station to Hayhoeville is at Crosbyton, and it shows no evidence to support her claim. Two of the three heaviest rainfalls they have received occurred in 1913, including the record on June 30, 1913.

I watched the Texas Tech soccer game on TV last night, and everyone was bundled up in the record cold. This is also due to global warming.

With much of the Eastern Seaboard in the path of a rare behemoth storm, residents of the nation’s most densely populated corridor contemplated whether to heed dire warnings of torrential rain, high winds and up to 2 feet of snow.

In 1886, the US was hit by seven hurricanes – including two major hurricanes. Storms were not rare when CO2 was much lower.
