“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”
In the December 15, 1977 issue of Nature, it was reported that atmospheric temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere had cooled about 1C.
“An international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.”
The cooling shown for ATM 0-90 N was about 1C

Almost all of this cooling was erased in Michael Mann’s hockey stick, but is present in Briffa’s reconstruction.
“Another Ice Age?
Monday, Jun 24, 1974
In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada’s wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone’s recollection.As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.
Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.
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, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones. As the winds swirl around the globe, their southerly portions undulate like the bottom of a skirt. Cold air is pulled down across the Western U.S. and warm air is swept up to the Northeast. The collision of air masses of widely differing temperatures and humidity can create violent storms—the Midwest’s recent rash of disastrous tornadoes, for example.
Sunspot Cycle. The changing weather is apparently connected with differences in the amount of energy that the earth’s surface receives from the sun. Changes in the earth’s tilt and distance from the sun could, for instance, significantly increase or decrease the amount of solar radiation falling on either hemisphere—thereby altering the earth’s climate. Some observers have tried to connect the eleven-year sunspot cycle with climate patterns, but have so far been unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of how the cycle might be involved.”

Discoveries are being made in climate science, but they are not coming from academia.
Salta, Argentina has a population of 1.4 million people and is the 7th most populous city in the country. Their population has increased 10X over the past 70 years. NOAA creates a non-existent warming trend there by cooling pre-1949 temperatures 1.39F The temperatures are measured next to the airport runway.

“MINNEAPOLIS—(AP)—Minnesota in 1931 broke all yearly records for heat, producing the warmest weather in the records of the federal weather bureau here, which has been keeping yearly data for the state since 1886.
The mean temperature was 46.94 degrees as compared to the previous high of 44.4 degrees in 1921. The 1931 figure was 6.25 degrees above the normal. The lowest mean in the records was set in 1917 with a mean of 37.7 degrees.
January started the year off with the warmest first month in state history, the temperature being 20.8 degrees or 13 degrees warmer than the normal, while December topped the year off with the hottest month, with but a few exceptions. A mean of 24.9 degrees was set in December, or 10.4 degrees greater than the average.
Whereas temperatures were far above normal, moisture fell below average considerably, the fall for the year being 22.53 inches or 2.31 inches less than the average established by figuring yearly rainfalls since 1886.”

“1931 Warmest Year On Record Lincoln—Nebraska experienced, the warmest year in the history of weather records in 1931, the annual report of the government weather station issued recently showed.
And that means that Nebraska was warmest in 1931 of any year since 1876. The temperature for the year averaged 52.8 degrees, which was 4.0 degrees above the normal mark, The nearest approach to this’ record was just ten years ago, in 1921, when the temperature was 52.5 degrees.
January was the warmest first month-of-the-year in history. February was the second warmest February since 1876. March was cooler than normal, April above normal and May cooler than normal.
The last seven months of the year were warmer than normal, the report said. June and September were the hottest in history of the state. October was the fifth warmest October since 1876 and December was the eighth warmest December in the same period.”

“?19 March 1926 Catastrophic Flood Threatens Capital Kovno.—The population of Kovno, the capital of Lithuania, is suffering greatly from a Hood caused by the overflowing of the rivers Niemen and Vilya. The flood, which started a few days ago, now threatens the entire city. The Jewish quarter is entirely submerged. Hundreds of Jewish families are homeless, the damages are estimated to run into millions. I he Ezra Relief Committee, representing the Kehillah which was dissolved by the Government, dispatched appeals to the joint Distribution Committee, the Jewish Colonization Association and to other Jewish organizations abroad tor immediate relief.”
While academia is spending billions of dollars of taxpayer money doing worthless science based on superstitions about CO2 and fake government temperature graphs, there is some actual science being done on Twitter.

“On this day in 1983, Review-Journal readers were treated to front-page news (with a large photo!) about the lake nearing capacity. In fact, the lake was so full that the Hoover Dam’s spillways were opened weeks earlier on July 3, creating a show for tourists. It was the first time the spillways had been opened since 1941. The dam opened in 1936.
The Bureau of Reclamation said the lake reached its highest elevation of 1,225.85 feet on July 24, 1983.”
