And we also need an Anasazi Drought.

“Mega droughts have been verified by science. Carbon dating combined with dendrochronology — the study of tree rings — has determined the Southwest suffered from 14 mega droughts punctured sometimes with a couple years of normal precipitation spanning from 50 to 100 years stretching from 800 to 1600 AD.”

From 1905 to 1923, Glacier National Park lost 30% of its ice and was forecast to be ice-free by 1938 unless temperatures cooled down.

The glaciers are still there, which means the rate of melting must have slowed considerably. Yet NOAA shows 1905 to 1923 as being among the coldest years on record in Montana.

NOAA cools the 1910s in Montana by 2.5 degrees, and warms recent years by on degree.
