Real Climate Science

“He who controls the past, controls the future; and he who controls the present, controls the past.”

– George Orwell “1984”

In 1998, NASA showed 1934 as the hottest year on record in the US, and declining temperatures for the rest of the century. They have since rewritten the data to eliminate the post 1930s cooling.  1998 used to be one degree Fahrenheit cooler than 1934, and now it is warmer. Note that 1998 version is in Fahrenheit and the 2019 version is in Celsius, thus the different numbers along the Y-Axis.

Why did they do this? The National Climate Assessment shows that the US used to be much hotter – in defiance of greenhouse gas theory and the political needs of climate alarmists.

In 1998, NASA was worried that people hadn’t yet accepted their scam, so they altered the data. They said it was a “sociological matter.”

On this date in 1936, the vast majority of the US was over 90 degrees, a large section was over 100 degrees, and it was over 110 degrees in Nebraska and Kansas. Franklin, Nebraska was 114 degrees, and Hays, Kansas was 113 degrees. Nearly 20 degrees warmer than today’s hot weather.

On this date in 1952, most of the eastern half of the US was over 100 degrees.

This date in 1887 was the hottest day on record in Ireland.

But propagandists have no need for actual data.  Never mind that National Climate Assessment says summers are getting cooler – the New York Times says it is just your imagination.

In the 1930s we had an actual climate crisis.  That needed to be erased.

From July 7-14, 1936 every state reached 90F (32C), forty states reached 100F (38C) and sixteen states reached 110F (43C.)  It was the hottest week in US history.

California, South Dakota, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Kansas, Minnesota and Ohio were all over 110F. South Dakota reached 115F and California was over 120F.

The average afternoon temperature in the US during that week was 94 degrees, seven degrees above the average since 1895.

More than 50% of temperature readings were above 95F (35C.)

More than a third of temperature readings were over 100F (38C)

The animated gif below shows the progression of the heatwave.

The most remarkable statistics were for the Midwest, which averaged 103F.

Almost 100% of Midwest temperature readings were over 95F that week.

And more than three-fourths of Midwest temperature readings were over 100F.

July, 1936 was the hottest month on record in the US.

Unlike now, the US was run by Democrats and was in a terrible economic depression. People had very real problems to deal with, and didn’t need to manufacture imaginary crises in order to keep themselves entertained.

Europe is experiencing record cold, and the Washington Post says leaders must take the “scorching heat” seriously.

On July 26, 1934, thirty states (including Alaska) were over 100 degrees.  The only state which didn’t make it above 90 degrees was Rhode Island. Many people died, and Dayton, Ohio never cooled below 80 degrees over a two day period.

But 1934 wasn’t hottest July 26 – 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, 1952 and 1914 were all hotter.

There hasn’t been a really hot July 26 in over 60 years, and weather as hot as the 1930’s is inconceivable now.

On July 14, 1915 – Juneau, Alaska was 90 degrees.

But the press is certain that 90 degrees in southern Alaska is a sign of the apocalypse. They scan the globe for one localized hot temperature to prove that weather is climate.
