“GOVERNMENTS must yield national sovereignty to multilateral authorities able to enforce laws “across environmentally invisible frontiers” if the greenhouse effect, which threatens the future of whole nations, is to be overcome, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Sir Shridath Ramphal, said on Tuesday.

A Commonwealth Expert Group set up to look at climate change estimated there was a 90 per cent certainty that the planet would become warmer by at least 1-2 degrees, perhaps much more, and that sea levels would rise by between one and four metres, by the year 2030. Global warming and sea level rises would continue for decades, perhaps centuries.”

NOAA’s Climate Extreme Index shows that contiguous US summer afternoons have been getting hotter and are record hot now.

USHCN daily temperature data shows that the percentage of the US reaching 95F has dropped sharply since the 1930s.

The National Climate Assessment also shows a sharp decline in heatwaves.

On October 4, 1933 the temperature in the San Francisco Bay Area was 98F, and it was “ideal for harvesting” but “a little too warm for personal comfort.”

I played on the soccer team at ASU in 1974 and we practiced at 3PM every day, typically in temperatures around 104F.  Phoenix had 18 straight days over 110F.  At that time, Time Magazine was fear-mongering about a new ice age.

In 1974, the consensus was near certain death, starvation and anarchy due to global cooling, while others argued that sea level would soon rise dangerously.

Lakeland Ledger – Dec 29, 1974

“Bryson and a group of fellow climatologists met last summer in Bonn under the auspices of a group called the International Federation of Institutes for Advanced Study and issued a statement that startled many of their colleagues. It read, in part: “The facts of present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failures within a decade. If national and international policies do not take these near-certain failures into account, they will result in mass deaths by starvation and probably in anarchy and violence that could exact a still more terrible toll … We are aware of differences among experts as to the cause-and-effect relationships of observed climatic facts and, consequently, as to the most likely prognosis. Professionally, the differences are important, but they do not—and should not be allowed to—obscure the larger consensus that the observed changes are neither trivial nor ephemeral.”

The Bonn statement caused an uproar, and its strong wording was subsequently softened; a number of climatologists and meteorologists also took issue with the “consensus” it described. Prof. Mikhail Budyko of the Soviet Hydrometeorological Service, for one, discounts the significance of the recent cooling trend and warns that over a longer term the climate has actually been getting warmer because of human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, and that the sea level will soon rise dangerously as the Antarctic and other ice caps melt.”

Fifty years later, academics are just starting to get past the Antarctic melting scam.

“during most of the LIG, the Ronne Ice Shelf was still in place, and close to its current extent. Water isotope data are consistent with a retreat of WAIS⁹, but seem inconsistent with more dramatic model realizations¹⁰ in which both WAIS and the large Antarctic ice shelves were lost. This new constraint calls for a reappraisal of other elements of the LIG sea-level budget. It also weakens the observational basis that motivated model simulations projecting the highest end of projections for future rates of sea-level rise to 2300 and beyond.”

One month after the JFK assassination, President Truman wrote this editorial.

“FOR SOME TIME I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas.

I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. **Some of the complications and embarrassment that I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been diverted from its intended role.** It is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue—and a subject for Cold War enemy propaganda.

Nevertheless, I **would like to see the CIA be restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the President** and that whatever else it can properly perform in that special field—and that its operational duties be terminated or properly used elsewhere.

We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and open society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position, and I feel that we need to correct it.”
