Illinois set their all-time record for cold last week at -38F, with atmospheric CO2 at 410 PPM.

But it wasn’t always cold like that.  On this date in 1927, Sparta, Illinois was 76 degrees – during  a February with multiple warm spells over 70 degrees in Illinois. CO2 was below 310 PPM at the time.

A large portion of the US was over 70 degrees on February 5, 1927.

The worst flooding in US history was occuring along the Mississippi River.

Prior to about 1965, 70 degree weather was quite common in the US on February 5. But that was before CO2 overheated the atmosphere.

As CO2 has risen, the likelihood of warm weather on February 5th has dropped sharply.

Since experts say CO2 controls the climate, we must never let CO2 levels get that low again. Or perhaps we should – this cold weather is very dangerous, and the Democrats want to cut off the fuel supply which people need to keep warm.

On February 4, 1962, Jefferson City, Missouri was 80 degrees.  Two days later Unionville, Missouri was -1 degrees. One week after that, Farmington, Missouri was 88 degrees. and by the end of the month, Unionville dropped to -12 degrees. A one hundred degree temperature drop in two weeks.

Snake oil saleswoman Katharine Hayhoe took advantage of the 2011 drought in Texas to declare herself a climate expert – by blaming it on humans.

Drought – Years Of Living Dangerously

Texas precipitation has been increasing since the 19th century, with the last four years among the wettest on record. Drought risk is decreasing, not increasing as Hayhoe claims.

When confronted with her incompetence, Katharine does what all climate alarmists do, she simply lies about it and claims she got it right.

Thirteen years ago, the New York Times announced the “Endless Summer” and said “It goes hand in hand with polar bears dying in the Arctic as the sea ice shrinks.”

With Warmer Weather, Different Decisions to Make – The New York Times

The Washington Post predicted seven years ago that cherry blossoms would start blooming in January.

January temperatures have been declining in the Northeastern US since the 19th century.

The New York Times cherry-picked a warm year which went against the trend, and declared it to be science.

The percentage of cold January nights has been increasing.

The warmest January in the Northeast was 1932, when the Lake Placid Winter Olympics almost had to be cancelled due to no snow.

Addison, New York was 74 degrees on January 14, 1932.

Democracy dies in superstition and censorship.  All the fake news that is unfit to print.

Sixty years ago today, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) were killed in a plane crash at Mason City, Iowa.  They chartered the plane because Buddy Holly was tired of sitting on a freezing cold bus. Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the flight, but got bumped off by The Big Bopper. The last conversation between Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings was :

Buddy : I hope you freeze your ass off on the bus
Waylon : Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes

Sixty years ago today was the first day Virginia allowed black children to attend school with white children. And sixty years later they still have a racist Democratic governor.

A few hours after Buddy Holly’s crash, an airliner crashed in the East River, killing 65 people.

New York state averages a range of 87 degrees between their lowest and highest January temperature each year, with a peak swing of 103 degrees during January 1935.

On January 5 1935, Indian Lakes reached -18F, and two days later Angelica reached 67F. A swing of 85 degrees in 48 hours.

1950 was a fairly typical year, with large temperature swings every few days.

Gina believes temperatures in the Northeast didn’t used to make large swings, but like almost all members of the climate cult – her beliefs are based on nothing other than superstition and brainwashing.

January Arctic sea ice volume gain was third highest in the DMI record, after 2008 and 2013.

November gain was largest on record.

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice volume over the past twelve years.

Experts describe the non-changing Arctic in all sorts of hysterical terms, because their funding depends on keeping people misinformed and frightened about the climate.
