Now, an equable climate had pertained in Europe about a thousand years ago, and by the 14^th century, that had deteriorated into a long period called the Little Ice Age. The Little Ice Age saw harsh winters, severe storms, and also extreme variability. That means you could see mild winters and then very severe winters, summer heat waves, droughts, sea storms and floods. The Little Ice Age persisted about 500 years, abating only in the 19^th century in some places.

This also are pushing for legalization of Marijuana and criminalization of CO2.

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of, ‘we’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder,”

Hurricane strikes were more common when CO2 was less than 320 ppm.

Severe tornadoes reached their peak in the 1970s, when CO2 levels were well below  Hansen’s safe level of 350 ppm. On April 3, 1974 – 163 tornadoes struck thirteen states, a few weeks before Nixon resigned.

On March 18, 1925 a single tornado traversed 219 miles across three states and killed at least 700 people.

No continent has set a record high temperature since the 1970s. The 30 year period with the most record high continental temperatures was 1891-1920.

(For the intellectually challenged, a record continental temperature mans that no location on any day of any year has ever been hotter. That includes hundreds of thousands or millions of records.)

Record low temperatures have been more evenly distributed. Every 30 year period since 1891 has had two.

No surprise there, They are defined by their beliefs.

Similarly, the global warming community defines climate scientists based on their belief in global warming.  Anyone who does not believe in global warming is not a  climate scientist – by definition. Former climate scientists who fall by the wayside are excommunicated. “She was really a skeptic all along.”

Thus we have consensus by definition.

Hansen justifies his Lone Ranger “hottest year ever” claim with explanations that he does better at measuring the Arctic. This in spite of the fact that he has no actual temperature measurements north of 80N.

How interesting that DMI shows June-October temperatures north of 80N as coolest since at least 2005, and possibly since 2004.

Supposedly this was a very active Atlantic hurricane season compared to past years. But how reliable are those comparisons? Modern technology gives hurricane watchers three huge advantages for hurricane detection.

• Spatial detection extent
• Spatial detection resolution
• Sampling frequency

For example, consider major Hurricane Julia.
