Complete bullshit. 1908 had already seen two hurricanes by this date, and was one of the ten coldest years on record according to GISS.

As far as drought goes, the US has less than normal. Romm and facts have nothing to do with each other.

The era of climate stability is coming to an end After 400 generations of stable weather, the world is on the brink of violent climate change.
For about 10,000 years, our climate on Earth has been stable. Remarkably stable, in fact. Since the end of the last ice age, we humans have spent 400 generations taking advantage of this stability to build our civilisation. We have had warm periods and little ice ages; but the changes have been small. We have always known pretty much when it will rain, what the temperature will be each summer and winter, and how high the rivers will flow.

We know that the climate was stable, because climate change was busy wiping out civilisations.
Climate change wiped out one of the world’s first, great civilisations more than 4,000 years ago Ancient ‘Indus’ civilisation was one of first great urban cultures Stretched for a million square kilometres

The Indus River in Karakoram Range near Skardu, Pakistan, remains a lifeline even in the modern day Climate change led to the collapse of the ancient Indus civilization more than 4,000 years ago, archaeologists believe.

Long-forgotten aerial photographs of Greenland from the 1930s, rediscovered in a castle outside Copenhagen, have allowed researchers to construct a history of glacier retreat and advance in the area.
Most studies of Greenland’s glaciers have been done only since imaging satellites became available in the 1970s, so the data are relatively short-term. But using photographs from 1930s aerial surveys of the southeast coast of Greenland, together with US military aerial shots from the Second World War and recent satellite images, Bjørk and his colleagues have been able to observe changes at high spatial resolution from a period in which few glacier measurements were previously available.
Analysis of the images reveals that over the past decade, glacier retreat was as vigorous as in a similar period of warming in the 1930s
In other words, glacial cycles in Greenland have nothing to do with your SUV.

The normal ice area is represented by green and measures 10,201 pixels. The excess sea ice area is represented by blue, and measures 5,127 pixels. Bering Sea ice area has averaged 50% above normal this winter.
In October, The Christian Science Monitor warned us that missing Bering Sea ice threatens Alaska.

Earth to Jim. The planet sees 0.4C swings in temperature every few months. Odds are 99 to 1 that Hansen has no idea what he is talking about.

Tropical Storm Beryl lumbered ashore near Jacksonville Beach, Florida at 12:10 am this Memorial Day as an intensifying tropical storm with 70 mph winds. Beryl is only the second named storm to hit on a Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. (the three-day weekend was established in 1971.) The other was Subtropical Storm Alpha of 1972, which followed a path almost identical to Beryl’s and made landfall as a 60 mph subtropical storm. Beryl’s 70 mph winds at landfall make it the strongest landfalling May tropical cyclone since the May 29, 1908 hurricane, which had 75 mph winds when it brought tropical storm-force winds to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Must be due to global warming. Except that 1908 , 1972 and 2012 were all after periods of cooling
