the facts have emerged, in recent years and months, from research into the ice ages of the past. They imply that the threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.”
“WINTER HEAT WAVE IN BRITAIN
LONDON, January 3.—The winter heat wave continues in London with the temperature early this morning only four degrees below that of June. Roses are blooming in Wales, daffodils in the south of England, and spring flowers are plentiful in parts of Scotland, usually snow covered at this time of the year. Even on high hills there is not a speck of snow.”

A look at how US government agencies poison the global temperature record with scientifically unusable data.
Australia’s past was extremely hot, but the invenient temperatures before 1910 have been hidden by the Bureau of Meteorology – using the thinnest of excuses.
BOM has erased the record heat of Australia’s past, using the excuse that the thermometers weren’t shaded properly – but that claim isn’t supported by the historical record.
“Some of the highest country readings are given below. It will be seen that the North-western district had the worst of if—Mildura, 123deg.; Swan Hill, 118deg.; Donald, 117deg.; Beulah, 116deg.; Pyramid Hill and Hopetoun, 115deg.; and Charlton, 114deg.,
“Mildura, 123 deg., on January 5, 1906,” is now the highest shade reading that an official Victorian ther-mometer has ever registered. Previously the record was “Mildura 121½ deg., on January 30, 1904.” The record of 123 deg., at Mildura was notified to the Observatory; “The Argus” correspondent notified 122½ deg.
Officers at the Observatory rely on the records reported to them. The thermometers are supplied from the Observatory, and are reliable instruments, and the screens and other devices by means of which the “shade” is produced are the same as those in use at the Observatory itself.”

The 1896 heatwave in Australia was the hotetst on record, and killed huge numbers of kangaroos, dingoes, rabbits and birds. Once again, BOM seems to believe that these animals were victims of improperly situated thermometers.
Night time temperatures were extremely hot too. Apparently BOM believes these were due to thermometers in the sun at midnight.

The climate of Boulder, Colorado hasn’t changed for at least 70 years, but the University of Colorado was awarded almost one million dollars to study the effects of climate change on prairie dogs.
“Researchers from the University of Colorado and Kansas State University have been awarded a grant for more than $850,000 to study the impacts of climate change on prairie dogs in the Boulder area.”
