New York City has had 59 days over 100F (38C) since 1895.  Three quarters of those days occurred with CO2 below 350 PPM.  The hottest day was 106F on July 9, 1936.  The second hottest was August 7, 1918 – which was tied on July 21, 1977 and July 22, 2011.

There was an incredible heatwave going on in the US that month – one of the worst on record, but it got little attention because of WWI.

Later that year came the worst pandemic in history, with 20-40 million people dying from the flu.

The graph below plots every August daily maximum temperature at all 189 USHCN  Midwest stations since 1895 (666,188 readings) – with trendlines for each station.

Eighty-eight percent of the stations are cooling, with the warmest stations cooling the fastest

A new article saying that the Pacific Northwest used to be “too-wet-to-burn” – but global warming is changing that.

US Northwest towns ‘woefully unprepared’ as fire risk grows

The largest fires in US history occurred in the Pacific Northwest in 1910.

The 1880s brought massive fires to the Cascade Mountains.

According to NASA, all of these fires occurred during the coldest years on record.

There were many other low-CO2 fires in the Cascade Mountains.

Forest fire burn acreage has plummeted in the US, even as NASA claims temperatures are skyrocketing.

Indicator 3.16: Area and percent of forest affected by abiotic agents

We have far fewer fires than we used to.

In pre-industrial times, when CO2 was below 280 PPM, burn acreage in the US was ten times larger than now.

This year has been very cool and wet in the western US, and we are having a record quiet fore season.

Climate alarm is dependent on an ignorance of history, academics, journalists and politicians who are willing to lie, and a public which is willing to be misled.

On August 6, 1947 – forty-three states were over 90 degrees.

Paris was very hot that summer too.

NASA likes to start their trends in 1979, during the second coolest January-July on record in the US. They have determined that CO2 emissions are making the fire sason longer.

Like in early May, 1884. When there were massive forest fires burning in the Midwest and eastern US.

This video is a must watch for anyone wanting to understand the climate crisis scam.

There have been fewer than 30,000 fires this year – the majority being in Alaska (which is now cold and wet.)

National Interagency Fire Center

In 1937, there were 185,000 fires – and that did not include Alaska.

During August, 1918 the eastern half of the US was having one of the worst heat waves on record.

Temperatures were over 110 degrees in the Midwest day after day. But there was not much hysteria about it in the press.

People had real problems to worry about then. Nearly 40 American soldiers were dying every hour in Europe.

05 Aug 1918, 1 – St. Joseph News-Press/Gazette at Newspapers.com

Temperatures as hot as 1918 are incomprehensible now in the Midwest, just as the current levels of ignorance, superstition, navel gazing and stupidity would have been incomprehensible to people in 1918.
