National Archives releases 1940 Census, 21 million from count still alive
Let the genealogical hunt begin.
The National Archives on Monday morning released digital records from the 1940 Census, posting a searchable online trove of details on the 132 million people living in America at that tumultuous time.
Of them, more than 21 million in the U.S. and Puerto Rico are still alive today.

I’d love to get in touch with some of these people and find out what they remember.
I talked to a couple of my aunts a few years back to hear stories about the 30s and 40s. Two have passed on and one is beyond remembering.
I do still know and talk to some people in their seventies and eighties.
I can remember hearing a woman talking about the Blizzard of 1899, how the snow was up to her 2nd story window in Gaithersburg, MD.
Also another woman that had seen President Taft’s 1909 Innauguration.
New scientific evidence that oceans were warming well before CO2 was 350 ppm. A study participant sates,
“Accounting for these issues, Roemmich and his team found that, on average, global ocean temperatures increased by 0.59 degrees F (0.33 degrees C) in the upper ocean down to about 2,300 feet (700 meters). This global temperature change is twice what scientists have observed for the past 50 years, suggesting that the oceans have been warming for much longer than just a few decades. ”

Correction: the MSNBC author of the article wrote the comment I posted and the comment is not a direct quote from a study participant.
Here is my take. According to the scientists 1/2 of the total warming of the ocean over the last 135 years occurred when CO2 levels were below 320 ppm. If the IPCC ocean models are unable to backcast the warming oceans prior to 1960, this will add to further validity concerns surrounding the IPCC models.
Nothing to validate,they are FUBAR!
Wow, check out this CV… From Kari Norgaard, the one who probably wants you and I medicated for our sickness. This is textbook quality delusional.

Professional student because she could not qualify for a real job. Not even a student studying real subjects but studying and promoting the pathological sciences.
The last time she bought a car, gas cost 39 cents a gallon, Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White House and “The Little Old Lady From Pasadena” was ruling the radio.
“When I buy gas, I write down the mileage, the date and how many miles per gallon I got,” she told FoxNews.com in 2009. “I’ve never been a destructive person and I’ve just taken care of everything, except my husbands.”

You could start with her.

“[m]y objections to the global warming propaganda are not so much over the technical facts, about which I do not know much, but it’s rather against the way those people behave and the kind of intolerance to criticism that a lot of them have.”
Speaking of old people some guy on the internet once told me that the global cooling scare was nonsense. I pointed out that I was old enough to have lived through the scare which actually happened because I had direct experience of it. He then suggested that he wasn’t going to believe some crazy old guy’s anecdotal story… Which I suppose meant that he preferred to believe what people who were too young to have been there, told him instead.
Many many farmers in the western world kept maticulous records of weather. Maybe one needs to seek out those records.
Yes, they did….. yes, we should. My dad kept meticulous records. Sadly, reading his handwriting is a chore. Worse, we don’t know where all of the records are. But, from the late 70s to about 2000, he wrote the temps and barometric pressure each day.
