Was the weather better below 350 ppm? Absolutely not.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an 19exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

Hurricanes were more common.

Extreme weather occurred at least as often below 350 ppm. Newspapers recorded these extreme weather events.  Claims that the weather has gotten worse, are complete nonsense.

Drought Cutting U.S. Grain Crop 31% This Year
By KEITH SCHNEIDER, Special to the New York Times
Published: August 12, 1988

In the gloomiest assessment yet of damage wrought by the drought, the Agriculture Department said today that the United States grain harvest this year would be 31 percent lower than last year. The harvest, estimated at 192 million metric tons, would be the smallest since 1970.

Hours before the estimate was issued, President Reagan signed legislation to provide billions of dollars to farmers and agricultural businesses in nearly 2,200 counties that have lost crops and income because of the drought.

HURRICANE AND FIRES IN N.S.W.

(New South Wales experienced one of the most extraordinary and damaging gales ever known in the state on Sunday. At 2 p.m. the velocity was 63 miles an hour which is only one mile less than tho record for Australia. It was reported that over 40 houses were completely’ destroyed at Woy Woy.

Patagona, a popular seaside resort; was a mass of roaring flames. Late on Sunday night at least 100 homes had been des- troyed with^nost of their contents. There was a fierce outbreak of fire at Middle Head where several houses were burned down. A pall of black smoke covered the harbour and all picnickers were driven off the beaches which were infested with millions of insects and spiders driven out of the woods by the flames.

WORLD GROWING WARMER.

Cesar’s account of the  Gallic Wars we find frequent mention of   frosts so intense that whole armies were able to cross broad rivers on the ice. We     know, too, that in those days Germany’s  winter was almost Arctic in its severity.

These are conditions which have long since passed away, and it is not more than twice or thrice in a century that a river like the Seine freezes up. We are also aware that no farther back than the sixteenth century the winters in England were, on an aver-   age, much more than they are nowadays. Another interesting proof is obtained from   the records of the Hudson Bay Company.

W learn from them that within the last   two centuries the average interval between the setting in of the winter frost and the coming of the spring thaw has decreased by no fewer than ten days. Again, Euro- pean glaciers are everywhere receding. The  ice fringes of both Poles are retreating. Even during the comparatively short space     of time that the Antarctic has been visited   by man the ice has retired some 40 miles. So let us cheer up. In process of time this country of ours will once more be grow- ing palms and orange trees!

Oddly enough, 1913 was also the year that saw Death Valley’s coldest temperature. On January 8 the temperature dropped to 15°F (-10°C) at Furnace Creek.

CHANGE IN CLIMATE.

GREEN CHRISTMASES By C. Le Lacy Evans, in the”Daily Mail.”)

For many years back we have witnessed a noticeable climatic change in  our winters in England, Scotland, and Northern Europe generally, together with reports of a similar character from America. As an instance of the former, during the present December a rare variety of   spring sights and sounds are reported.

BIRDS MOVING NORTHWARDS.

Zoologically the same change is ob- served, and it is not long ago since I read a letter from a nephew of Mr George R. Sims giving a list of birds which formerly inhabited the United States only, but have recently migrated northward and are now commonly   found in Lower Canada. This shows that the northern climate is becoming   warmer, and the statement is con- firmed by the fact that the records of the Hudson Bay Company state that”the winter on the shores of the Bay has grown shorter, at the rate if of one day in every ten years.” The same change is noticeable In Siberia, Greenland, and Alaska. The northern ice cap is decreasing in area and thickness, and the land, which was tropical and bore the grape-vine the magnolia, and the water-lily before the Great Ice Age, will become habitable again.

An Alaskan Glacier.

The Muir glacier, which is the great wonder of of Alaska, was, says a scientific writer in the Globe, doubtless discovered by Vancouver in 1791, but Professor John Muir was the first to describe it. Muir Inlet, at the head of Glacier Bay, is thetermination of this great ” river of ice.” The wall of blue ice is there a mile long and about 400 feet high. It is worn into towers, castles, and caverns, and is continually discharging fragments, from the size of a paving-stone to that of Cologne Cathedral. These falling into the sea cast up the spray for hundreds of feet into the air, and send forth waves which dash upon the shores and echo like thunder among the mountains. The Muir glacier is really a sea of ice, with numerous branches in the valleys, any one of which is as large as the Gomer or Aletzch glacier of Switzerland. It is according to Mr. S. P. Baldwin, a recent visitor, as large as all the Alpine glaciers in one, being 1,200 square miles in area. The ice is 1,000 feet thick at the mouth in Muir Inlet, and the glacier, is estimated to comprise as much water as Lake Erie. It discharges 77 billion cubic feet of ice as icebergs, and 175 billion cubic feet of water by melting every year. The centre of the glacier, where the motion is quickest, is so rough and broken into crevasses that it is con- sidered impassable. The eastern half, however, can be travelled as far as the névé. Professor

Wright has found the motion at the centre to be as much as 65 feet a day, whereas that of the Alpine glaciers is only 33 inches or so. As much as 90 feet a day has been found in the case of a Greenland glacier. The Muir glacier has once extended much further into the bay, and is now receding every year, while the sources of the ice supply are failing.

19th century tourists watching a devastated Alaskan glacier collapse.

Between 1794 and 1879, the glacier at Glacier Bay, Alaska retreated eight feet per day. This was probably due to something which Sarah Palin’s great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather did.

SHRINKAGE IN THE WORLD’S ICE MANTLE.

Prof. T. G. Romney has some very in-   teresting things to say in “Nature” on  what he calls “the shrinkage of the world’s ice mantle.” There has been a  general retreat, he says, of the European   glaciers since 1864.

“At first rapid, it slackened after a time, but, though here and there aglacier has slightly retraced its steps and an ad-

vance became more general towards the end of the last century, the majority are still either slowly shrinking or at best stationary. In the French Alps, we learn, sundry small glaciers have quite melted     away during the last few years. It is to be hoped that these places will be carefully watched in order to ascertain more pre- cisely the conditions (temperature, pre-   cipitation, &c.) under which the formation   of a glacier becomes possible. That would   enable us to estimate the mean tempera- ture in certain localities during the glacial epoch, and thus to obtain one firmer foot-

ing in that most slippery subject. The shrinkage of the world’s ice mantle ap-pears to characterise all the countries ob- served, for only in Scandanavia, and per-     haps at Mount St. Elias, are glaciers be- ginning to advance in notable numbers.”

For a number of years the oscillation of the earths axis has been watched atspecial observatories at half a dozen places     along the parallel of 39.8 north latitude. A   report made by Th. Albrecht shows that since 1900 the greatest shifting of the pole has been about forty feet, the vibration   having been very slight in 1900, but in- creasing considerably by 1903-4, reaching a   second minimum about 1905-7, and being   now near another maximum.
