1921:
“The three months’ drought on the Swiss glaciers has caused the water of the lakes to sink so low that pre-historic lake dwellings are visible at several places…These Swiss lake dwellings, which were revealed to the world in 1854 by a drought similar to the present one..”

The official thermometer for New York was in a shaded shelter on TOP of a sky scraper! So much for comparing it to a thermometer sited 1.5 meters above a surface that represents the surrounding environment. Which today is probably located at an airport.
They may as well throw away the surface temperature records and start over!
The actual surface temperature could well have been 29F higher than the recorded temperature. That is some kind of error bars when we are talking difference in hundredths of a degree.
The nice folks at the NCDC should be sacked for fraud!
