The 1950s had horrific droughts. Compare them to the 2012 permanent drought, which experts describe as “human induced” and “historic.”
Not to mention the 1930s

The permanent droughtflood continues over most of Texas. At least in the 1950′s and 1934, you just had good, oldfashioned drought. Droughtflood is a sure sign of a warming planet under stress (or climate experts under stress?). We never had droughtflood prior to 2011.
The really scarry part is that the with the ocean cycles, we are probably headed back to the extreme weather of the 50′s, when the climate cooled.
Entirely possible!
Thank you for this good post!
I remembered it as soon as I went to NCSE page, have a look at their “is climate changing now” page:
