There was a global heatwave and drought during 1895 and 1896 which led to the deaths of tens of millions of people around the world. In Ohio, there were more record warm days during 1895 than during any other year.
The record heatwaves of 1895 peaked on May 4, June 2, September 21 and December 20.
“LOS ANGELES (UPI) President Ford and Soviet leaders may discuss at their Nov. 23-24 1974 Vladisvostok conference damming the Bering Straits between Alaska and Siberia to warm the earth’s climate, a former Pentagon think-tank analyst said Tuesday,
Lowell Ponte, a former arms technologist turned columnist, said such a project has been under discussion between the two countries since 1972.
Ponte said the earth’s climate is cooling at a rapid rate and may be headed into another ice age which could over-cool the planet’s arable land and bring starvation to millions.”

Some scientists believe the earth is cooling and heading into another Ice Age. Specialists in a separate part of the scientific community see the Bering Strait as the “thermostat” of the world.
A former Pentagon “think tank” research consultant turned journalist has dovetailed the two ideas.
Lowell Ponte of Los Angeles says damming the Bering Strait across its 56-mile wide mouth between Siberia and Alaska could change the cold and warm climates sufficiently to control earth’s climate and reverse a trend of crowns which burden people in need of food.
More than two years ago, physicist Clyde Cowen, then at Catholic University in Washington and co-discoverer of the neutrino — the suallest particle of an atom — suggested such a dam to the government.
It was noted by climatologists that the earth began a cooling period about the 15th Century. It was not until about 1890 that the earth warmed up significantly. And during a period of little more than 50 years — until about 1945 — crops became more abundant and the world’s population more than doubled.
After about 1949, the cooling was noticeable again Alexander noted that the total drop since the 1940s has. been about 2.7 degrees. While the change seems small, the effects have been dramatic to farmers and fishermen.

NASA and NOAA had good reason to make the heat of 1934 disappear. The heat and drought was global, the Arctic was dissolving, England was going to drown, and the whole world had “freak weather.” If people knew about that, it would wreck their global warming scam.
HEAT WAVE.
WHOLE WORLD AFFECTED.
HEAVY CROP LOSSES. (Australian Cable Service.)
VANCOUVER, May 29.
A blasting heat wave with the tem-perature around 100 swept the Western Canadian prairies again to-day, extending from Edmonton to Regina, and then southward through the Dakotas to Nebraska, roughly comprising a third of the territory of the United States and Canada.
SERIOUS SITUATION.
The Canadian Government has issued a bulletin describing as ex-tremely serious the crop situation. The losses through failed crops in these 18 States are estimated at 1,500,000,000 dollars.

“How many people did Genghis Khan kill? So many that it was good for the environment
The genocide had major consequences for the entire planet.
Genghis Khan might have been the greenest invader of all time. His bloody conquests killed tens of millions of people. But at the same time, he killed so many people that in the path of his invasion, huge swathes of cultivated land returned to forests, eliminating a huge amount of carbon from the atmosphere.
Genghis Khan’s legacy still haunts mankind to this day.
When some 600 years after your lifetime, people don’t refer to you by your real name, but by a name meaning “Supreme Ruler” (which is what “Genghis Khan” means), you’ve done some things in life.In just a lifetime, Genghis Khan created the largest empire that ever was — larger than what the Romans did in centuries. As you might guess, he didn’t accomplish this through peaceful negotiation and smooth diplomacy — Genghis Khan was a conqueror by force.
The wars led in his name killed some 40 million people (about 10% of the world’s population at the time)! But, as a new study showed, these bloody conquests helped the environment, removing nearly 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.
While the Mongol ruler wasn’t even thinking about it, he was causing the first man-made global cooling.”

The Australia Climate Council says Alice Springs will see a huge increase in the number of hot days, unless Australia takes “climate action.”
The Australian Climate Council says if Australia doesn’t partake in “climate action,” Alice Springs will have 42 more days per year over 35C.
Alice Springs has about the same number of 35C days now as they did during the 1880s
Australia could drop off the map and it would have no impact on the the growth of atmospheric CO2.
“Sen. Cheri Steinmetz (R-Lingle), who brought Senate File 1 amendment 1S-3041 to defund the programs, discounts the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and has openly opposed notions that Wyoming must produce lower-carbon energy. She convened a controversial climate denial hearing in February as chair of the Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources Committee.
The primary message of the Feb. 13 hearing was the long-disproven falsehood that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are not a major contributor to climate change or a threat to humans and the environment. Steinmetz organized the hearing amid growing criticism from the far right of the governor’s vocal efforts to make Wyoming carbon-negative.

“STINNETT, Texas (AP) — Wildfires may have destroyed as many as 500 structures in the Texas Panhandle, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Friday, describing how the largest blaze in state history scorched everything in its path, leaving ashes in its wake.
Texas officials warned that the threat was not yet over. Higher temperatures and stronger winds forecast for Saturday elevated worries that fires in the Panhandle could spread beyond the more than 1,700 square miles (4,400 square kilometers) already chewed up this week by fast-moving flames.”

During February 1898 three million acres burned in South Carolina and there were much larger fires in Colorado later in the year.
This week in 1898, the United States, Australia and New Zealand were all experiencing massive forest fires. Three million acres of the Carolinas burned in just a few hours – in the middle of winter. Later that year the northwest quadrant of Colorado was on fire.

Thermometer data from ALBEMARLE, North Carolina shows a strong cooling trend, but NOAA tampers with the thermometer data to create a warming trend. This includes fabricating completely fake temperatures from 1895-1910. Historical temperatures are cooled as much as 5.7F, and recent temperatures are warmed as much as 4.6F – a total of more than ten degrees of data tampering.
