“From about 1000 AD onward, historical records in Europe provide evidence of climatic changes. They contain descriptions of droughts, floods, and winters so cold that rivers froze solid.
On the other side of the world, records from China show that from 3000 to nearly 1000 BC, the temperature was about 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than snow.
Historical and proxy evidence indicate features of today’s changing climate which will be important over the next few decades.
The most striking conclusion is that, in the perspective of the past thousand years, the middle part of the present century — roughly from 1910 to 1960 — was the most unusual 50-year run of weather for which we have records.
From 1910 to 1940, the global climate warmed up by about half-a degree Centigrade. Then it began to fall back from the highest levels.
This does not seem dramatic, but the small average change in temperature was a symptom of more profound changes.
Records show that when the climate is a little warmer, weather is more predictable.
Harvests are good, rainfall is reliable, and the world’s climatic zones shift slightly from the equator toward the poles.
This on-the-whole desirable pattern has occurred in this century when the human population was exploding and great efforts were being made to increase agricultural productivity.
As a result of slowly rising global temperatures, the first half of the 20th century was the warmest and wettest period for several hundred years.
In the African Sahel, the monsoon region of India, the grain belt of the USS.R., and the vast corn-and-grain-covered prairies of the U.S: and Canada, farmers did better and better.
By the 1950s, yields were on the average higher than anyone could remember.”

The picture is even more acute for meat.
” Of the seven forms of meat which man eats on a considerable scale, beef and pork make up 73 per cent. .
This reliance on a few species and increasingly fewer varieties of these species — has increased man‘s vulnerability to climate change.
One-quarter to one-third of the peoples of Africa and South Asia suffer from malnutrition or undernourishment.
At least one human being in four still goes hungry.
If the cooling trend of the 1960s and 1970s, with the increased climatic variability that accompanies it, is maintained into the 1980s and 1990s, as most climatologists expect, we shall see more bad harvests, more crop failures, more hunger, and probably more famine.”
Over the last twelve years NASA and NOAA have rewritten Reykjavik, Iceland’s temperature history, to turn a long term cooling trend into a warming trend.

“Ex-FBI officials warn Congress of ‘new and imminent’ border danger: ‘The country has been invaded’There were over 300,000 encounters at the border in December

The only word to describe the crisis at the border is ‘invasion’: Gov. Greg GianforteA coalition of former FBI officials has issued a warning about a “new and imminent danger” for the U.S. at the southern border, suggesting the country has “been invaded” by military-age foreign nationals.
In a letter sent last week to congressional leaders in the House and Senate, the retired officials “express our concern about a current, specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the United States.”
The letter warns “the United States is facing a new and imminent danger” and highlights what the officials say is a threat of an invasion at the southern border, where there were over 302,000 migrant encounters in December after a record fiscal 2023 in which there were 2.4 million migrant encounters.
“In its modern history, the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland and, yet, one is unfolding now,” they say. “Military aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands — not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane but rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted.”
“Plastic consumption in New Jersey spiked by nearly three times following the state’s implementation of a strict ban on single-use plastic shopping bags, a study found.
“Following New Jersey’s ban of single-use bags, the shift from plastic film to alternative bags resulted in a nearly 3x increase in plastic consumption for bags,” Freedonia Custom Research (FCR), a business research division for MarketResearch.com, reported in a study published this month.
Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy said after signing legislation in 2020 that authorized the bag ban. “With today’s historic bill signing, we are addressing the problem of plastic pollution head-on with solutions that will help mitigate climate change and strengthen our environment for future generations.”

“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is delaying consideration of new natural gas export terminals in the United States, even as gas shipments to Europe and Asia have soared since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The election year decision by President Joe Biden aligns with environmentalists who fear the huge increase in exports, in the form of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is locking in potentially catastrophic planet-warming emissions when the Democratic president has pledged to cut climate pollution in half by 2030.”

“Texas is right. Biden’s failure to secure the border leaves states no choice but to take matters into their own hands. As President, I will end this humanitarian crisis once and for all. I will secure the border and destroy the business model of the drug cartels. A country without borders is not a country at all. #Kennedy24”
