A RECORD OF HOT SUMMERS.

IN 637 the heat was so great in France and Germany that all springs dried up, and water became so scarce that many people died of thirst.

In 873 work in the field had to be given up ; agricultural labourers persisting in their work were struck down in a few minutes, so powerful was the sun.

In 993 the sun’s rays were so fierce that vegetation burned up as under the action of fire.

In 1000 rivers ran dry under the protracted heat ; the fish were left dry in heaps, and putrified in a few hours. The stench that ensued produced the plague.

Men and animals venturing in the sun in the summer of 1022 fell down dying; the throat parched to a tinder and the blood rushed to the brain.

In 1132 not only did the rivers dry up but the ground cracked on every side, and became baked to the hardness of stone. The Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up.

Italy was visited with terrific heat in 1139; vegetations and plants were burned up.

During the battle of Bela, in 1260, there were more victims made by the sun than by weapons; men fell down sunstruck in regular rows.

In 1303 and 1304 the Rhine, Loire, and Seine ran dry.

Scotland suffered particularly in 1625; men and beasts die in scores.

The heat in several French departments during the summer of 1705 was equal to that in a glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dared venture out between noon and 4 p.m.

In 1718 the thermometer rose to 118 deg.

In 1779 the heat at Bologna was so great that a great number of people was stifled. There was not sufficient air for the breath, and people had to take refuge under-ground.

In July, 1793, the heat became intolerable. Vegetables were burned up, and fruit dried upon the trees. The furniture and woodwork in dwelling-houses cracked and split up; meat went bad in an hour.

The rivers ran dry in several provinces during 1811; expedients had to be devised for the grinding of corn.

In 1822 a protracted heat was accompanied by storms and earthquakes; during the drought legions of mice overran Lorraine and Alsace, committing incalculable damage.

In 1832 the heat brought about cholera in France; 20,000 persons fell victims to the visitation in Paris alone.

In 1846 the thermometer marked 125 deg. in the sun.

Meanwhile, people in British Columbia are terrified by nice weather.

bctoday on Twitter: dworry about it? Should we stop describing it as “nice” weather? 

Progressive women have announced a “Sex Strike.”

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

Richard P. Feynman

Last Monday in Los Alamos, I attended a lecture about black holes and gravity waves given by Nobel laureate Kip Thorne.  He detailed the long history of this research going back to Einstein and Oppenheimer.  As he described it, they were extremely careful about interpreting LIGO gravity wave measurements, and when they first detected one (after 20 years of searching) they were very skeptical, and even suspected someone had hacked the data as a prank.

Compare vs. climate science, where they intentionally hack their own data to achieve the results they want.

Last night, the UK was generating 530,000 KW of wind and solar power, two percent of their needs.

National Grid: Live Status

Tesla fast chargers use 150KW, so all of the solar/wind power in Britain being generated last night would be enough electricity to power 3,500 Tesla chargers – and nothing else.  Good thing the other 65 million people in Britain don’t need any electricity – for weeks at a time.

China has the problem under control though. They are building enough new coal fired power plants to match the entire coal capacity of the United States.

Three years ago today, the New York Times and Governor Jerry Brown announced the California Permanent Drought.

Two of the last three years had record snow in California, so the San Francisco Chronicle has quite predictably announced the end of California skiing.

Last year, NOAA declared May to be the hottest ever.

Contiguous U.S. had its warmest May on record | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Their claim isn’t true – May 1934 was much hotter.

The frequency of hot days last May wasn’t in the top ten.

This claim from NOAA was particularly misleading.

During May, 1934 Minnesota had eleven days over 100F, starting on May 8, and peaking at 108F on May 31.

May 1934 was much hotter in Minnesota

The record heat of 1934 wasn’t convenient for NOAA and NASA – so they simply erased it.

This May is starting out with record cold and snow.

Here in Boulder, today was the first May 9th not to reach 40 degrees.  The previous coldest May 9th was 45 degrees in 1917. We had our 28th snow of the year today, and the fourth snow day this month.

But facts don’t matter to climate alarmists.  All they need is a good appeal to authority to shut their brain down.

Steve Goddard on Twitter: “The potato famine occurred with CO2 below 300 PPM. Perhaps they want to go back to those days?… “

Ireland’s hottest year was 1921, when afternoon temperatures averaged a blistering 58F.

And in 1995, Ireland had a terrifying 12% of days over 70F.

Quite a crisis they are having.
