Destructive Hurricanes of Centuries Past, During Low CO2 Levels

Natural Climate Change in recent millennia occurred suddenly, every 124 to 600 years.  The Little Ice Age, for example, suddenly started around 1300, during the "Wolf Minimum."  Then, the Years 1302 to 1307 was a collective dry period, followed by the Great Famine of 1315-1317 which killed 7.5 million.  

Next came the Chinese Famine of 1333 to 1337, killing 6 million. In sequence, 1539 & 1540 was a time of unprecedented drought.  An abundance of famines ensued throughout the 17th & 18th Centuries.  

The end of the Little Ice Age occurred circa 1841.  Just as instantly came the Great California Drought of 1841.  All of this occurred when co2 levels were very low.   In fact, between the Years 1000 to 1851, the CO2 level stayed between 275 and 285 parts per million.  Yet, there were numerous occasions of disastrous weather throughout that time.

******************************************

******************************************

Shortly thereafter came a drought which began in 1856.  It accompanied the American Civil War.  Then came the heatwaves of 1871, 1878, 1895-1896, and 1901, w/ the Asian Famine of 1875 to 1878.  This all occurred when the atmospheric CO2 level was much lower than it is today.  In fact, in 1901 the CO2 level was 296 ppm.

Even though there were ZERO named storms in the Atlantic Basin throughout August of 2022, Joe Biden omitted mention of this rare phenomenon.  Rather, during the same October day when Biden was caught mentioning how no one messes with a Biden, he publicly stated that the one and only 2022 hurricane to thus far hit the Continental 48 States was undeniable proof that we are engaged in catastrophic, crisis-stage climate change.  Yet, hurricanes in the plural have been a consistent yearly occurrence, set forth in logs, almanacs, chronicles, journals and gazettes for HUNDREDS of years.  These years were years of low atmospheric CO2.

There are records of seafarers and land stewards in America giving accounts of hurricanes that date back the July 1500 "huricán" that passed through the Bahamas, during a Vincente Yáñez Pinzón exploration. This included a report of the 1508 San Rogue "Huricán" reported by Ponce de Leon, himself.  Incidentally, to the Portuguese who conquered Brazil, a hurricane was/is a furacão.

Now, the Spanish Armada even got hit by a massive sea storm, in Britain's North Sea, in 1588.  In 1590, a 63-ship Spanish treasure fleet lost 14 ships in a Gulf of Mexico storm.  In fact, there were 120 Spanish reports of huricáns, in the 16th Century alone, from the Azores to the present-day Texas coastline.   

The 17th & 18th Centuries had their abundance of sea storm reports too.  This shows that Michael Mann & David Attenborough lied when they individually claimed that the weather of the past 1,000 years was mild, up and until the Industrial Age.  The weather was very often turbulent long before the Industrial Age.   Turbulent sea storms were reported in the hundreds during the Age of Exploration & Sailing Ships.

In addition, the most famous typhoons in history were the ones that decimated a large Mongol invasion fleet in 1274 and then again, in 1281.  Atmospheric co2 was very low in the 13th Century.  Yet, some its hurricanes were ferocious.  Therefore, the truth on the matter goes as follows:

There is zero correlation between the atmospheric co2 level and the frequency of hurricanes, as well as the intensity of hurricanes.  If there suddenly stops the formation of Tropical Storms and Hurricanes, then that would be Climate Change.  The continuation of yearly cyclones in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is business as usual for Planet Earth.  Thus, August 2022 was the exception, in there having been ZERO named storms in the Atlantic Basin throughout that entire month.

Even the Smithsonian Institute does NOT concur with David Attenborough & Michael Mann in the claim that the weather was predominately mild for 1,000 years, until the steam engine was invented circa 1712 CE.  The Smithsonian admitted to the existence of cataclysmic storms as a matter of regular course, in the 1500s, 1600s, and 1700s.  See for yourself:

Atlantic Coastline, Florida, during the coldest winter in 40 years.

Then comes the new definition of Monsoon Season.  It's now defined as a sign of climate change, despite the reality that Monsoon seasons throughout Planet Earth have been a regular Unchanged Climate event throughout the ages.  In reality, Monsoons are easier to predict than any tropical storm or hurricane. 

In fact, if you want to stop the yearly Monsoon seasons from occurring throughout Planet Earth, you must literally ======> stop the rotation of the Earth, in order to stop the Coriolis Effect upon rotating pressure systems which act like water wheels that send rain into the Monsoon regions.   In as much, as long as there are yearly Monsoon seasons throughout the Earth, then it's business-as-usual for Planet Earth and the same old unchanged climate there.

The supreme asininity of "Climate Change" fanatics, in their claiming that Monsoon Season is an evil manifestation of evil evil "climate change," is this:  Without Monsoons, you have widespread starvation and thirst.  You have epic famines.  The "Climate Change" Nazis are completely out-of-touch, in the highest degree.

For there to be life on Earth, CO2 is absolutely needed, in tandem with chlorophyll.  Yet, those activists who are proudly going green want to do away with at least half the CO2 in the atmosphere.  In many nations, the other necessity for life to sustain itself are . . . the Monsoons.  The very arrogant going-green people want to do away with the needed sources of life.  Yes, you can't have a tree to hug, if there's not enough CO2 in the air.  Below 150 to 180 ppm of CO2 is when photosynthesis ceases.  Life on Earth follows suit.

Remember, Monsoons are not random, and hurricanes do have a season of likely probability to them.  In fact, the existence of the Atlantic Hurricane Season was the reason why the Battle of Yorktown was fought between September 28, 1781 to October the 19th of the same year.  It was the Cape Verde Hurricane Season, and French naval officers knew all about that deadly time of year.  After all, 1780 had a horrendous hurricane season.   So, the French Navy was literally scared out of the Caribbean, into the Virginia coastline, where they brought for American land forces the ability to secure a victory against a very powerful imperial army.   

Meanwhile, atmospheric co2 was 280 ppm (parts per million) in 1781.  That was when the co2 level was 147 ppm LOWER than today's 427 ppm.  Let's take a tour of hurricanes when co2 levels were much lower than today:

To start, the 2022 pre-harvest-season atmospheric co2 level (August 18) was 417.05 ppm.  As of Oct 6, 2022, it was 415.2.  Your first lesson is that the atmospheric co2 level only changes slightly throughout the year.  Unless my math is wrong, the difference between Springtime co2 and Harvest time co2 is only 2%.

Second lesson:  When you read about a hurricane's wind speed, it refers to the peak wind speed sustained for one minute in duration.  As far as goes the traveling of an entire hurricane across an ocean, it travels much more slowly.   For example, a 17 mph (miles per hour) hurricane is considered fast.

Third lesson:  The lower the digits, in terms of measuring millibars, the more powerful is the low pressure system called a hurricane ... or typhoon, if it's a Pacific Ocean low pressure system.  Concerning "lowest central pressure," anything under 900 millibars is a mighty storm.  Even 930 & 960 is powerful, possessing great turbulence.

The following hurricanes are considered to be the ones with the lowest air pressure.  That translates into powerful hurricanes.  The wind speed thereafter generally, but not meticulously, correlates.

Now, I mentioned previously that the most powerful Atlantic hurricane, in terms of sustained wind, was Allen in 1980, at 190 mph (miles per hour).  Well, the Pacific Ocean hosted two more powerful ones in 1961.  In fact, in 1961, there were FIVE Category 5 typhoons.  This was when the atmospheric co2 level was 316 ppm.   That amounts to 113 ppm lower than today. 

All in all, according to the co2 Theory, there should not have been 5 Cat 5 typhoons when co2 was so low.  Yet, there were.  Thus, the co2 Theory has been completely invalidated. 

Quick Note:  Average air pressure on Planet Earth is 1,013.2 millibars.

[1] Typhoon Nancy, September 1961.  Sustained wind speed:  213 miles per hour.  This occurred when the atmospheric co2 level was 316 ppm.  That's 113 parts per million LOWER than today.  Millibars: 882.

[2] Typhoon Violet, October 1961.  Maximum sustained wind speed:  207 mph.  Millibars: 886.

[3]  There was Typhoon Ida, in 1958, when co2 was 313 ppm.  Maximum Sustained Wind Speed was 200 mph.  Millibars: 877.  Yes, eight-seventy-seven.

[4] And Typhoon Joan, in 1959.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 195 mph.  Millibars: 885.

The other typhoons were equal-to or less-than Hurricane Allen in maximum sustained wind speed. 

Now, concerning the Atlantic Ocean Basin and strong hurricanes that occurred there before 1960, there was:

1} The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.  Affected the Florida Keys & Georgia, and then went up the Carolinas.  Wind speed: 185 mph. Millibars: 892.  CO2 Level: 310 ppm ... 119 ppm less than in March 2025.

2} Hurricane Camille, 1969.  Grabbed the attention of TV networks throughout America, and became the benchmark ... the icon ... the reference point ... of hurricanes, for decades.  Hit Mississippi and Louisiana, for starters.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 175 mph.   Millibars: 900.  CO2 Level: 323 ... 106 ppm less than in March of 2025.

3} Hurricane "Cuba," 1924.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 165 mph.  Millibars: 910.  CO2 Level: 305 ... 114 ppm less than in March 2025.

4} The Great Miami Hurricane, 1926.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 150 mph.  Millibars: 930.  CO2 Level: 305 ... 124 ppm less than in March 2025.  Catastrophic hurricane.

5} San Felipe II, Okeechobee, 1928.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 160 mph.  Millibars: 929.  CO2 Level: 307 ppm ... 122 ppm less than in March 2025.

6} Tampico, 1933.  Maximum sustained wind speed: 160 mph.  Millibars: 929.

The list goes on.

A sample of hurricanes that transpired in the 1700s. 

CO2 levels were around 280 ppm ... 149 ppm less than in March 2025.

1) The Great Storm of 1703.  England.  2,000 chimney stacks destroyed.  One lighthouse destroyed.  13 navy ships & 40 merchant ships lost, along with with 1,500 British seamen.  4,000 oak trees ripped from one forest.

2) The Great Cuba Hurricane of 1791.  3,000 human deaths.  11,700 cattle lost.

3) The Central Atlantic Hurricane of 1782.   It destroyed Admiral Thomas Graves' fleet.  3,000 deaths.

4) Solano's Hurricane, October 1780.  Gulf of Mexico hurricane.  2,000 deaths.

5) The Great Hurricane of 1780.  October.  Lesser Antilles, Bermuda, Eastern Florida.  22,000 deaths.  Yes, that's twenty-two THOUSAND.

6) St. Lucia Hurricane of 1780.  June 13.  4,000 deaths.

7) Newfoundland Hurricane, September 1775.  Also hit North Carolina & Virginia.  4,000+ deaths.

Do you get the message, yet?   The CO2 Theory of hurricane proliferation & intensification is a complete falsehood.  There is no law which says that you have to be the dupe & useful idiot of money grabbing politicians and activists.  

Remember, Al Gore is a politician who did not know the general temperature of the Core of the Earth, yet he boldly proclaimed the wrongest number when trying to show his "science expertise" on live television  And the quarter BILLION dollars that Gore amassed for himself, in selling the "Global Warming" religious fanaticism, is enough of a sign to show you his intent & motive.  Money, money, and more money.

Hurricanes/typhoons are a regular part of Tropical Life.  Their trips northward are a way of Planet Earth to prevent a massive temperature imbalance in the Tropics, when compared to the temperatures of the middle latitudes.  

Yes, hurricanes are a balancing maneuver for global temperatures, and when hurricanes stop forming, then you can claim that we finally have Climate Change.  In fact, when hurricanes stop forming, then Planet Earth will have a huge problem . . . with inordinate temperature imbalances throughout Earth.   Until then, you're insulting the intelligence of every reasonable person with your Climate Nazi fanaticism.  

You don't have to be repetitively annoying, chirping out "climate change" endlessly.  You don't have to act like an incredibly arrogant idiot.  If you want to rally against true threats to human health, address the Synthetic Chemical Issue.  Also address the issue with Particulate Matter smaller than 2.5 microns.  You're wasting your time playing CO2 Police.

MORE SHORT-DURATION Storms & weaker level cyclones in recent decades.

The point to posting the 1922 newspaper article below is to show that a number of natural disasters were worse 85, 105, and 125 years ago, when the outdoor CO2 level was much lower than it is today.  So, according to Al Gore, Michael Mann, David Attenborough, etc, such heated weather should never have occurred in the early 20th Century.  This is one of many pieces of evidence proving that the CO2 Climate Driver Theory is erroneous.

None the less, ten years later, in 1932, there would come the Year Without a Winter.  In fact, a number of competition events at the 1932 Winter Olympics had to be postponed.  This included the bobsled finals.

Shortly after this would come the dreaded heatwaves of 1934 to 1936.  This was when the atmospheric CO2 level hovered between 308 and 310 ppm ... 119 ppm LOWER THAN TODAY.  Five years prior, in 1927, America endured its worst flood in recorded history; the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.  So, there were intense grades of natural disasters when the CO2 level was much lower than it is today.

Moreover, 90% of all Greenhouse Gases is Water Vapor.  If Greenhouses Gases are having any kind of effect on Planet Earth above and beyond the effect they had in decades & centuries past, it's Water Vapor that is doing it.

The weather was often worse ... more intense ... 85, 100, 120, 500, and 700 years ago.  Browse through a newspaper archive and see for yourself.  Refer to almanacs, "chronicles," logs, etc.

Keep in mind that "climate" computer models involve mathematical & algebraic variables that can drastically change the outcome of the computer calculation. Variables in equations can be tweaked, amended, or rigged in such a way that you can arrive at the pre-conceived conclusion that you seek. 

In as much, computer models are not reality.  Computer models only make predictions.  As a result, the vast majority of "global-warming & "climate-change" predictions never came close to having come true, in any capacity.  

In the alternate, history is reality.   Statistical record keeping is reality.  More specifically, "Observational Evidence" is reality.  Directly below is some historic reality.  Reality does NOT need the permission of computer models, in order to exist.  Reality supersedes all computer modelling.

Now, an instrument such as a thermometer is reality.   However, you can rig the reality of a thermometer reading, by placing the thermometer in the midst of heat-retaining asphalt and heated jet engines.   Such a place where you can get erroneous temperature readings is called "the airport." 

The Matter at Hand, as of March 2025

 At present, a certain journalist of a certain pro-climate-change news outlet recently reported that tropical cyclones "are less frequent but more intense."  This is a double lie.  The opposite is true.  Instead of adhering to computer models, go outside and walk around, for a change.  Then look up at the sky, followed by you looking beyond the horizon.

I obtained and saved the entire Cyclone Scorecard (record) of the Atlantic Basin, going back to the late 19th Century.  The record shows that, in recent years, there have been moderately more cyclones per year ... on average.  But, the record also shows that more low-level cyclones, call Tropical Storms, have been emerging from the Atlantic Ocean, as well.   

Al Gore predicted that more high intensity hurricanes would be the common occurrence each summer.  Well, there have been an added number of cyclones ... in recent years ... not strong enough to be called hurricanes.  They are the junior varsity members of the Atlantic Basin Cyclone Team.  They are weak storms.  They are the opposite of what Al Gore predicted. 

MOREOVER, the modern record shows that there have been more SHORT-DURATION storms ... of those cyclones that lasted two days or less, since the mid-1950s ... even since the mid-1940s.  This fact also negates & invalidates Al Gore's 2006 claim that an increase in atmospheric CO2 was going to cause more intense hurricanes.  After all, very few Category 5 hurricanes have ever made landfall on the shores of the Continental United States ... ever since 1852.  I've already covered this in other Blue Marble posts.  

The chart below ... and numerous other ones at the Blue Marble Album ... can help emotionally traumatized school students who were constantly being told that we are in a never-before-seen climate crisis.  Within intervals of time, the weather was worse 85, 105, 125, 500, and 700 years ago, when it came to natural disasters.   This long era of time was when the atmospheric CO2 level was as low as it gets.  

As a review,  at the end of the last "Major Glaciation," otherwise known as "the last major ice age,"  the CO2 level was 180 ppm.  Now, there was an encore to the Ice Age, known as the Younger Dryas Stadial which lasted for an approximate thousand years.  The depth of severe cold ended approximately 12,700 years ago.  Yet, a significant rise in temperature wasn't accomplished until 10,000 years ago.  Shortly after this period, the outdoor CO2 level would hover between 260 to 284 parts per million.  

In fact, in 1600 CE, the CO2 level was 275 ppm.   Even in 1750, outdoor CO2 was only 277.  Then, in the Year 1830, outdoor CO2 was at 284 ppm.  The 284 ppm level was previously reached in the Year 1165.

In going further in time, atmospheric CO2 was 295.8 in the Year 1900 ...   305 ppm in 1925 ...   310 ppm, at the end of WWII, when the Surface Temperature Decline of 1940-1985 was already underway.

In 1965, the atmospheric CO2 tally was 322 ppm.  It was 350 ppm in 1987 and 370 ppm in 1999.  CO2 reached 381 ppm, when the 2006 Al Gore movie was shown in theaters and public schools.   The level of 429 ppm came in March of 2025.

Incidentally, at the end of the last major "glaciation,"  the CO2 level was 180 ppm.  Throughout the Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman Empire years, the CO2 level was 260 to 280 ppm.  Atmospheric CO2 was 280-284 ppm throughout the Viking, French, and Spanish dynasties which spanned from The Year 1000 to 1550.  

At this point, keep in mind that Michael Mann asserted that CO2 started to rise above the usual level at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution started in 1712, when Thomas Newcomen produced the first successful stream engine.  Well, the atmospheric CO2 level did NOT rise above 284 ppm, until 1833.  Even at that, the CO2 level did NOT rise past 289 ppm, until 1876.  And then, it reached the very even number of 300 ppm in 1911.  

Despite this significant rise in outdoor CO2 in the 21st Century, there was NO COMMENSURATE RISE in Atlantic Basin Sea Storm intensity.  On the average,  Atlantic Basin cyclones have become a degree milder and a degree shorter in duration.  This Observational Evidence shows Al Gore & Michael Mann to be the teachers of false science, in their demonization of the life-supporter molecule, CO2.

And of course, take note that the present rise in CO2 is due to the coal-fired power plants in China & India.  Thus, the CO2 level is out of America's hands and out of Europe's hands.  In fact, Russia's 40-50 Gigawatt coal power capacity doesn't come close  to China's.  Even in 2020, China's coal capacity was already at 1,080 GW.  

Of course, coal emits real pollutants which harm mammalian health.  This includes methylmercury, beryllium, arsenic, and fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 macrons.  Such pollutants need to be corralled ... they need to be filtered.

Remember, when the CO2 level goes below 150 ppm, all photosynthesis ceases, and life on Earth ends very quickly thereafter.  CO2 is an absolute necessity for there to be life on Earth.

The Great "London-is-burning" Lie of July 19, 2022 ... conjured by the media

Let us begin with the various fire & incident frequency charts provided to the public by the London Fire Brigade.  Concerning Greater London's size, it encompasses an area of 610 square miles.  

Keep in mind that, during July of 2022, the media kept stating that the rise in atmospheric co2 was finally causing an out-of-control rise in Greater London fires.  Well, the opposite is true.

From the Year 2004 to the Year 2022, the annual number of London Area fires were cut in half, in comparison to the fire numbers ranging from 1969 to 2004. In fact, each individual year ... from 2004 to 2022 ... was 1/3 of what it was in 1976.  

Moreover, the year prior (2021) was the year of the least number of fires in the record-keeping history of Greater London.  Meanwhile, the Year 2022 had the fourth least number of fires in the Greater London area ... since the beginning of record-keeping there.  In fact, while the atmospheric co2 level was rising throughout the years 2004 to 2022, the number of Greater London fires continuously decreased.  Therefore, an elevation of co2 will NOT cause your city or town to dry-out & burn-up.  See for yourself.

In July of 2022, the media claimed that atmospheric co2 finally reached a tipping point.  In July of 2022, the same media began the countdown to the End of the World ... proverbially speaking.   On the 19th of that month, the London Area thermometers went above 100F.  In London, the official reading was 102F.  In a town located 11 miles west of London, the reading was 104F, for two hours only.

The claim was that co2 was saturating the atmosphere so badly that it was now causing London to dry-out and burn out-of-control.   The newscasters claimed that, on July 19th, the London Fire Brigade had its "most incidents" since the bombing of London, in WWII.  

The same media said that the London Area had the most fires in any one day, on July 19, 2022.  The truth is that July 19, 2022 wasn't anywhere close to that.  In comparison to any WWII air raid, the July 19th incidents was less than chump change.  Compared to the daily average of fires in 1976, the number of fires on July 19th was 52 fires LESS.  

Compared to the daily average of Greater London fires in 1970, 1975, 1979, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2003 and a few other years, the number of July 19th fires were 24 to 38 LESS.  At the very least, there were approximately 2,500 Greater London days that had more fires than did July 19th day.  Reporting July 19th as the worst day since a world war was like lighting a candle with one matchstick and claiming it to be a 5-alarm fire.

In the entire Year of 2022, there were 19,297 fires in the 607 sq mile area known as Greater London.  In 1976, there were over 60,000 fires in the exact same area. In 1989, 1990, 1995, and 2003 there were over 55,000 fires EACH YEAR, in the exact same Greater London region.   More important is the fact that, in every year from 1969 to 2005, there were at least 40,000 fires.  That amounts to 37 consecutive years when the yearly fire count was at least TWO TIMES MORE than it was in 2022.   This also amounts to an average of 164 fires per day during 1976 versus an average of 53 fires per day in 2022.

Now, July 19 was an average day in terms of "incidents."  The daily average for 2022 was 343 incidents per day.  In 2022, 47% of all Greater London incidents were false alarms; 59,415 of them.

On July 19, 2022, there were 362 incidents.   On that same day, there were 142 false alarms.  There were 112 fires on that day, and that number has an ironic twist to it.  This is because the daily averge of fires from 1970 to 2004 were at least 109.  Thus, July 19, 2022 was an average day, when looking at the big picture. 

A complete London Fire Brigade Incident Record for July 19 can be found directly below, via 7 photo-copies.  You can do the statistics yourself.

https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2024/05/July2022-official-greater-london-fire-stats.html

Let's review this correctly, without any sleight of hand con artistry:

Between 1970 and 2004, the 610 square mile region known as Greater London had between 109 to 164 fires PER DAY.  This translates into 60,000+ fires per year and 40,000 fires per year.  Then, in the Year 2009, yearly London fires decreased below 30,000.  Then, in 2014, yearly fires decreased to 20,000 per year.  So, between 2015 and 2022, Greater London had an average of between 41 to 55 DAILY fires.  Thus, it was an unconscionable lie to have stated that Greater London's climate had gotten out of control.  The opposite was true.

The number of London fires were literally cut in half, while co2 increased significantly in the atmosphere.   Thus, a courtroom lawyer could actually tell a jury that the rise in co2 caused a decrease in London fires.  Yet, the truth is that co2 remains at such a small atmospheric level that it can't affect the air, either for good or for bad.  The only greenhouse gas which holds influence is water vapor.  In fact, Cirrus clouds retain infrared light more effectively than does co2.  

The atmosphere is humongous.  Acres of plants, trees, weeds, and blades of grass are all tiny, in comparison.  CO2 drives the biosphere; not the atmosphere.  The other greenhouse gases ... other than water vapor ... are too small in quantity to drive any air mass greater than a laboratory experiment chamber.

Ther article below is "truncated."  It's only part of the whole.  The entire article can be found by clicking here:

"London fires drop by 64% in a decade, according to brigade"

 

Back to 2022

The pronounced decrease in Greater London fires occurred while the population of the area increased by 1,300,000 people.  Now, an increase in population brings with it an increased probability of fires.  However, despite the simultaneous increase in the London Area population and in the atmospheric CO2 level, Greater London achieved an eighteen-year-long streak of consistently decreased fire event numbers.  Thus, CO2 is not as powerful as the media claims it to be, in killing-off society.   The asininity of demonizing CO2 is that, without CO2, life on Earth ceases.  After all, CO2 is the activator of photosynthesis. 

At this point, keep in mind that the media in July of 2022 showed houses or small buildings on fire, as if CO2 caused spontaneous combustion throughout London.  "Chart #17" below is from the London Fire Brigade, and it mentions that "House fires in Greater London have reduced drastically since 1981."  This decrease occurred while co2 levels were rising and while the population of Greater London was rising by an additional 1.3 million people.

This proves that in no way did the constant rise of atmospheric co2 cause an increase in Greater London fires.  Thus, the 2022 London news reports were all scams.  It was one big false alarm.   In as much, let's view additional evidentiary support provided by the London Fire Brigade:

Above:  The stats of 2021.  That's last year.  Last year was the year of the LEAST NUMBER OF FIRES in the London Area, in all of London's recorded history.  In as much, 14,929 is much less than 40,000.

Most important is that the co2 level of 2021 was the exact same co2 level of 2022, minus an insignificant one and a half parts per million.  The exact same co2 level gave the 610 square mile London Vicinity its LOWEST AMOUNT of fires-per-year, ever since record keeping began.  Thus, we have 100,000% proof that the co2 level of 2022 did NOT cause London to catch on fire, as the media very falsely claimed, to its future legal detriment. 

Above are the stats for the Year 2020.  This is the year with the second LOWEST number of fires.  17,409 is also much less than 40,000.

Directly below are the stats for the Year 2022, as of October of that year.  The Year 2022 will be one of the lowest incident & fire years on record.  In fact, it thus far is the year with the least number of incidents, depending on the November & December stats.  But as far as goes its final tally for fires, that is projected to be about 18,000 to 19,000, if this chart (posted in November) includes the October fire statistics.  If the chart below only includes the stats up to September, then the projected sum total is 20,000 to 21,000 for the year.  This also is much less than the typical 40,000+ yearly fires that occurred between 1968 and 2004.

This was "as of September 2022."

 

 

This was 2022 in its entirely; the fourth lowest number of fires in its record-keeping history.  Take note that there were 59,415 false alarms in the same year.

Below is the Year 2009.  It's posted here to show you that other years had many more fires than did the Year 2022, in addition to what the 2014 London Fire Brigade graph showed.  The 29,591 fires of 2009 are much more than the 14,929 fires of 2021 and the 19,297 fires of 2022.

 

 

Below is the Year 2010, posted to show the same.   The 27,462 fires of 2010 are a whole lot more than the 14,929 fires of 2021 ... and the 19,297 fires of 2022.  Thus, there was no co2 saturation burning-up Greater London.  It was all a lie.

 

And of course, in order to show that there is no cherry picking going-on here, the Year 2011 is included.  Its fire numbers are also much higher than those of 2022, as well as 2021.  Thus, 2022 was NOT the tipping point in any capacity.  It was merely another year where the media once again lied to the public.

 

 

Many other years had averaged many more calls (incidents) per day than 2022 ... and 2011.  In fact, the Year 2009 had an average of 370 "incidents" (fire calls) per day.  After all, it had 134,379 incidents.  There has always been a high number of fire-calls ("incidents") in Greater London, in any one day.   There were 350 "incidents" throughout Greater London, in 2022.  The average daily incidents for the entire year of 2022 was 348.  That was typically average ... not a record-breaking day.

 

UK's 2022 crop yields also prove the London-is-burning-due-to-co2 alarm to be a false one.

Now, when you see a fire occurring near green grass and green leafage, the fire is not fueled by dried-out grass and leafage.  Moreover, being that the media claimed England to have been the victim of drought and heatwaves in the Summer of 2022, one would logically conclude that the 2022 harvests of the UK would be dismal crop failures.  Well, they turned out to be very healthy crop yields, thereby showing the July 2022 media members to be a cabal of sophomoric liars.  Observe:

No downhill sliding board here.  Steady crop yield pattern, with increases, since the Year 2000.

In 2022, the UK enjoyed an 8 1/2% increase in cereal grains.  It was simply that there was an approximate 1% less and a 1 1/2 % less moisture content in the harvested grains than average.  So, where is the great co2 disaster in Britain, during 2022.  The agricultural industry didn't see one, at all. 

None the less, wheat was up 11% and barley was up 6%.  The UK's main oilseed harvest was up by 39%, but the crop yield increase was only 17%, being that the UK used more farmland for planting its main oilseed crop.  In fact, the UK used 13% less farmland for oats, and the oats yield for 2022 was surmised (estimated) to be 10% less than last year.  Technically, this translates into a humble 3% increase for UK oat farmers, per acre. 

Conclusion:  There is no man-made-co2 driven climate catastrophe occurring in Greater London.  

Concerning the commercial media networks' claim that mankind has to aggressively rid the atmosphere of the industrial "carbon footprint," you need to understand the following facts:  The atmosphere is made of [1] 78% carbon-free Nitrogen, [2] 21% carbon-free Oxygen, [3] 0.93% carbon-free Argon.  Thus, the Earth's atmosphere is already at least 99.93% carbon-free.  

 

Know that the concentration of co2 in the atmosphere is so low that, for every 2,398 molecules in the sky, only one of them is co2.  One more time:  Outside in the sky, there is 1 and only 1 co2 molecule for every 2,398 molecules out there.  Round it off to 1 co2 molecule for every 2,400 molecules in the atmosphere. 

 

China, India, & Indonesia are the present concerns:  Not London.

 

The only valid present concern is whether the construction of multiple Chinese, Indian, & Indonesia coal power plants will result in the aggressive rise in atmospheric co2, or will there be carbon capture technology provided with each new coal plant.  An aggressive rate of rise changes the picture, moderately for the present --- but significantly for the distance future, as in the next century.

 

At present, there's not an immediate hysteric concern.  No scientist publicly claimed that the world is coming to an end, due to "greenhouse gases" in twelves or in 112 years.  However, the recent history of Beijing does not give humanity much trust in the ruling political political of today's China, not to mention the ruling parties of India & Indonesia.  So, we cringe, wondering what will become of the atmosphere in the decades to come.  

 

This is why hoaxes like the London one have to be ejected from society's concerns.  China, India, & Indonesia are what count.  Not London and not healthy Australia ... and not the American Southwest which got its share of monsoon rains in recent years.  Moreover, there is the issue with Mercury and Sulfur Dioxide when it comes to coal use.  That must be addressed more so.  BTW, refusing to go to high school in Sweden isn't going to help, at all.

Qualifying Note:  The Sulfur Hexaflouride issue is the other important concern at present.  That one can still be proverbially nipped at the bud, though.  However, you don't jag around with something like Sulfur Hexaflouride.  You cut to the chase and get the task done.  The task is finding its substitute.   It's all too tempting for industry not to do so.

We proceed to 1901, 121 years before the July 2022 day placed under amplified attention by the media.  July 19, 2022 was presented as the unprecedented beginning of the End of the World.  The media claimed that it was a day unprecedented in the history of England.  They lied.  The truth is the climate is CYCLICAL --- unless something.   In as much, the Year 2022 was little more than the Year of the Great Deja Vu ... of 1922.  Enough newspaper photocopies on that year are already posted at thr Blue Mrble Album.  We'll go back further, to 1901, so that you can see that "this" has all been seen and experienced before, time after time.

Let's sail over to Italy, to see how it was doing in August of 1901.

It is often stated that "history repeats itself."  Well, that is the historically proven case, concerning Climate History.  And remember, in 1901 the co2 level was a mere 296 parts per million.  The co2 count was 121 ppm LESS than today.  It was 29% LOWER than today.  Yet, sweltering heat & much more dry drought-inducing heat occurred and reoccurred throughout the first four decades of the 20th Century than today.  This was when the co2 level was much lower than today.  

 In 2014, NASA declared that the worst drought year in the past 1,000 years was 1934.  The co2 level at he time was 309 ppm.  That's 108 ppm LOWER than today.  Yet, according to the Al Gore theory, 2020, 2021, and 2022 should have been the worst drought years.  Well, contrary to what the media claimed, Arizona & Nevada have been getting yearly monsoon rains.  This neglect of reporting the truth is the result of media's managers wanting to deceive you into thinking that we are trapped in a deadly circle of Dante's Inferno.  The truth is that we are doing nothing more than repeating history in a cyclical fashion.

In caveman days, the co2 level was 260 ppm.   And during recent heated eras, such as the Roman Warm Period & the Medieval Warm Period, co2 was only 280 ppm.  Today, atmospheric co2 is 421 ppm, and today's heat is quit  only a repeat performance of the past.  The two 1901 articles above are a small sample of the hundreds of pieces of documentary evidence which show that a rise in temperature is not dependent upon a rise in co2.  Rather, according to ice core analysis, a rise in temperature historically came first, resulting in added evaporation of ocean water and the simultaneous emission of additional co2 into the atmosphere.

Climate is a pattern --- not a week-long event or even a month-long event.  July 18th & 19th were the the result of a dry air mass from Northern Africa.   And yes, there were a couple weeks of no rain --- in July, when such a thing is likely to happen.  However, after July 19th, everything instantly went back to normal.  The "back-to-normal" part is the climate.  

To call July 2022 "unprecedented" makes knowledgeable people roll their eyes and say, "Give me a break, and cut it out with the theatrics."  After all, there was such a thing as the Great Fire of London in 1666, along with ~the Great Fire of Tooley Street, 1861, ~the Burning of the Parliament, aka the Palace of Westminster (which was a complex of buildings), 1834, ~the Whitehall Palace Fire, 1698, ~the London Bridge Area Fire, 1633, the first London Bridge Fire, 1135, ~the Southwark Fire of 1212, ~the Great Fire of 1087, ~the Great Fire of Aldgate which burned all the way to Ludgate and which included St. Paul's Cathedral, 961, ~the Fire of 120 AD, when the Romans ruled.  

And of course, there were the fires caused by Boudicca's rage.  Those were not atmospheric science issues.  In fact, the Great Fire of 120 AD could have been an act of war, as well.  None the less, calling the July 2022 London fires unprecedented invalidates a journalist, as much as does calling July 2022 a co2 cataclysm.  After all, the rise in co2 for the last 19 years was accompanied by a major decrease in London fires.

Now, Planet Earth has had atmospheric co2 at  levels 9 times and even 16 times HIGHER than today.  In fact, during the height of atmospheric co2, the Cambrian Explosion occurred, resulting in the emergence of multi-celled sea life.  And later in history, when atmospheric co2 was 9 times higher than today, the Ordovician Ice Age was in progress.  This assertion, of course, is all a matter of "ice-core proxy evidence," inter alia. --- (Inter alia means, "and other things.")  Incidentally, the "inter alia" included the stoma-count of fossilized leaves.  Stoma are openings in the leaves, where co2 is absorbed.

 

 Anyway, London had two back-to-back heat days, one week apart.  The first week comprised two 87 degree Fahrenheit days.  One week later, there was a 99 degree Fahrenheit day, followed by a 103 degree Fahrenheit day.  After the 103 Fahrenheit day of July 19, the temps immediately went back to normal.  But, the propaganda machines had a field day with Britain's sole 100+  Fahrenheit day.  Oh, it was Armageddon 3.0, the Apocalypse 4.0, and the End of the World, squared & cubed.

Needless to say,  it was everybody's fault, for riding in motor vehicles and keeping warm in the Wintertime, as well as using evil evil air conditioners in the Summertime. 

Below is the London Temperature Calendar, for July 2022.  Here's the London that was presented by the media as an overly heated inferno.  Show me where this super oppressive, long-term, human-body-killing heat is, in the London Summer of 2022.  Yes, there are a couple of weeks of temperature anomalies, in London.  But, there was nothing that resulted in the death phrases "may have caused" and "likely to have caused."  This was followed by a ridiculous number Paris experienced in 1976 & 2003.

And of course, there was so much misinformative hype about Paris in July of 2022 that it insults the intelligence.  Those news articles use the phrases, "likely to have caused" and "may have caused" a certain number of deaths that equaled the deaths suffered by Britain, during the first day of the Battle of the Somme.  None the less, deadly heatwaves, deadly droughts, deadly storms, deadly floods, deadly pestilence, deadly algae blooms, hurricanes, blizzards, cold snaps, Yellow Sky days, ice stacking, glacier growths, glacier meltdowns, etc, etc, etc.  It all happened throughout the past 700 years.  

The sophomorically trained and sophomorically educated journalists look for that one tipping point moment.   Climate is an habitual trend ... NOT a one-day, two-day or even two-week event.  Here, see the temperatures of July 2022 yourself.

The actual Great London Fire Brigade Incidents Report of July 19, 2022, showing that the media lied to humanity, as usual.

Prelim Note: Photocopies of the official July 19, 2022 London Fire Brigade's Incident Report are posted below, at the end of this post.  Also posted within this post are other official London Fire Brigade statistical products that were published for public view.   Such a conveyance of information is known as "public relations."

Let's review another insult to the intelligence, compliments of the modern commercial media.  July 19, 2022 was the day.  A dry wind had been in England from Africa.  Such a thing will reduce humidity considerably ... but only temporarily.   Also, the high temp of the day was over 100F.  Eleven miles from London, for two hours, the temperature was 104F.   Elsewhere nearby, it was 102F.

The day prior, it was an equally rare 98F.  Even the week prior had a few days in the mid-80s Fahrenheit, for the high of each day.  Other than that, England had no dreadful climate condition.  It was far from Paris during its 1911 heatwave, its 1976 heatwave, and its 2003 heatwave, as well as Paris' 2022 heatwave.  None the less, the media had to hyper-exaggerate the weather in London, telling the world that life-given co2 was now burning down London.  The actual claim was that the rise in co2 caused London area wooden structures and wooded areas to be easily vulnerable to igniting and burning.

So, the media showed the video of a regular, ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill fires.  The narrator was mentioning that that fire was ignited because the atmospheric co2 level had risen to an intolerable level.  It was said that the London Fire Brigade (the LFB) had its most "incidents" since World War II. It was said that the fire brigade was sooooo overwhelmed that it couldn't keep-up with all the calls made to its dispatcher offices.

The bottom line ... the conclusion ... was that the world had now reached a tipping point, and that the number of fires throughout the 607 square mile terrain called Greater London would keep increasing, month by month ... and year by year ... until complete catastrophe would prevail.

Now for the truth:  You need to begin with the statistical graph below, produced and published by the London Fire Brigade, itself.  It shows that, as of the Year 2014, the yearly number of fires which occurred in Greater London decreased by more than 50%.  Greater London fires were cut in half.  This, alone, invalidates the July 2022 doomsday claim of media reporters who are apparently far too lazy to do a little homework, before opening their mouths and causing emotional trauma amongst schoolchildren, their moms, and people who never do any true fact-checking.

Now, record-keeping of the fire calls to the Greater London Fire Brigade ... and the results of those phone calls ... began in 1966.  As you can see in the graph below, from 1970 to 2005, there were at least 40,000 fires per year in the 607 square miles area called Greater London.  In 1976, there were over 60,000 fires.  And in the Years 1970, 1979, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2003, there were more than 50,000 fires per year in Greater London.

In contrast, in the Year 2022, when the media claimed that London was now being overwhelming with increasing fires, there were only 19,298 fires in Greater London.  More impactfully is the fact that, in the Year 2021, there were the LEAST NUMBER OF FIRES in any one year since Greater London record-keeping began.  In 2021, there were 14,929 fires.  

So, let us compare:  60,000+ fires in 1976 vs 14,929 fires in 2021.  Moreover, 50,000+ fires per year in 1970, 1984, 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2003 VERSUS 19,298 fires in 2022.

Now, compare the fire states in the incident record below to the graph above.  A lot loess fires during the year when the mainstream media very falsely claimed that Great London fires were now on the rise, due to co2.  Fires in each year of the 2010s & 2020s had become half of what they were in the 20th Century.  Also take note that, in 2022, there were 59,415 false alarms.

For the record, below is the year with the least number of Greater London fires, namely 2021.  In addition, there were 53,486 false alarms in 2021.  Thus, the July 2022 news reports about London catching on fire in great numbers was a complete falsehood.

Below:  And of course, we need to contrast 2021 & 2021 with an yearly year.  Well, the earliest available is 2009.  There were more incidents and fires in 2009.  There were also 62,991 false alarms in 2009.

Below:  The LFB officially reported that house fires have reduced "drastically" since 1981.  Thus, the 2022 claim that co2 levels reached a tipping point that caused London fires to increase is a complete lie.

Below is yet another publication of the London Fire Brigade which reported that yearly fires between 2010 to 2016 were much lower than those which transpired from 1970 to 2005.  The yearly fires from 2017 to 2023 have even been lower in number.   This also shows that July 2022 media to have been a gang of liars, in asserting doomsday claims that were the opposite of the doomsday reports.

Now for the temperature record of July 2023, one year later.  If co2 caused Greater London to reach a tipping point, then the temperatures of this past July have been alarmingly high.  Below is the July report from the world-renown Weather Channel.  Look and see for yourself if the July 2023 were a month of blazing heat or a month of moderate and quite tolerable temps.

Directly Below:  The Month of July 2023 temperature report, by the equally renown Accuweather Corporation.

Added note: As far as goes the Summer of 2024, there was one day where the temperature reached 90F.  One 90 degree day is NOT the end of the world ... nor a climate crisis ... nor global boiling.

Below:  The actual July 19, 2022 London Fire Brigade Incident Report in detail.  Compare the statistical numbers of this day to those within the Years 1970 to 2005.  You will realize that in no way was July 19, 2022 the day of the most incidents or fires since WWII.  In fact, count all of the FALSE ALARMS for that one day.  You will end up counting 142 ... for only one day.  Even at that, the number 142 is not far away from the usual daily number of false alarms ... the average ... the median ... the expected.

 

 

To exaggerate is to lie, Part 1 --- Come and review twenty-five newspaper heatwave reports, published 86 to 147 years ago, when the outdoor CO2 level was quite low.

Take note: The newspaper article below was written in 1901, 124 years ago, when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than it is today.  Today is defined here as May 2025, when the CO2 level was 430 ppm.  In 1901, the CO2 level was 134 ppm LOWER THAN TODAY,  reaching no higher than 296 ppm.

The temperature reached 109F in Italy in 1901.  The sea water off of Syracuse Sicily was so hot that people stopped going into it.  Italian vineyards shriveled.  Ten years later would come the 70 day Heatwave of 1911 which ended up killing 41,000 in France.  Most of the victims were infants ... in France.  Even in America, it reached 106F in New Hampshire, in 1911.  

Two years later, on July 10, 1913, the world record high temperature was achieved in Death Valley California.  The temp was 134F.  Then, eight & nine years later, the severe heat of 1921 & 1922 would come, resulting in professionally written reports of massive ice loss in the Arctic, even to the point of detailing the latitude where the sea ice disappeared.

Next would come to 1930s and the worst drought conditions in the past one-thousand years.  Record setting heat made its mark throughout America, in several states.  The point to make here is that, concerning every weather event that transpired in the early 2020s, it has all happened before, even at a worse intensity, 44 years ago, 66 years ago, 88 years ago, 102, 112, and 122 years ago, as well as 128 and 146 years prior.   During those years, the CO2 level  was much lower than it is today.

             

Tell the stars whom Al Gore used as scenery props that "it" has all happened before, concerning any weather event of the 21st Century.  After all, the Earth is round and it travels the same semi-elliptical orbit, year after year.  Below, after a lesson on weather history, there are twenty-one additional newspaper photo-copies which show that all of "this" has happened before," concerning heatwaves, droughts, etc.  It's a continuation of the same one show.

Now, someone who practices the science of dendrochronology claimed that tree ring samples showed the Year 2023 to have been the hottest year in the past 2,000 years.  NOAA asserted that the Year 2023 was the hottest year is the past 130 years.  Before this, someone conjectured that July of 2023 was the hottest month in the past 125,000 summers. 

In July of 2023, it was reported that a town called Sanbao, located in Xinjiang China's Turpan Depression, reached a 126F high temperature.  This event was supposed to have marked the ushering-in of a new era of Global Boiling by which the world is in a crisis.  

Well, it would have helped if journalists  would have taught the readers that the Turpan Depression (aka the Turfan Depression) is located 508 feet BELOW sea level and is situated at the base of China's Bogda Mountains a lot like California's Death Valley is situated in relation to the Panamint Mountain Range.

Whereas the Turpan Depression is located 508 feet below sea level, Death Valley happens to be 282 feet BELOW sea level.  The Southern Panamint Mountain Range is the western side of Death Valley, and such a configuration allows for extremely high surface area temperatures via "adiabatic warming."  The Northwestern Chinese Turpan Depression terrain, like Death Valley, is the exact place expected to host high temperatures, due to ... a-d-i-a-b-a-t-i-c     w-a-r-m-i-n-g. 

In July of 1913, Death Valley's Greenland Ranch (now called Furnace Ranch) achieved a world record high temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit.  Sanbao Xinjiang only achieved 126F, in July of 2023.  Therefore,  July 2023 in Sanbao Xinjiang was not the ushering-in of a new era.  It was a Deja vu of an older era; the era of early 20th Century California.  July 2023 showed us once again that history repeats itself.  

In this instance, the two high temperature events were one hundred and ten years apart.  And the hottest of the two hot days was when CO2 was at a much lower atmospheric level.   300.8 ppm in 1913 vs 418.65 ppm in July/August of 2023.

Persian Gulf Intl heat index of July 2023 should have been reported at 136F, and NOT at 152F

On July 16, 2023, it was reported that Persian Gulf International ... in Asaluyeh County, Iran (located 27 feet above sea level and a mile or two near gulf water) ... reported itself as having had a heat index of 152 degrees Fahrenheit, at 12:30 pm.   As a preview, it should have been reported as 136F, being that the actual temperature was 100F and the relative humidity was 65%.

Now, a heat index is "what the temperature feels like."  The actual temperature there, on July 16, was 106 Fahrenheit at 7:30 am.  By 12:30 pm, the temperature dropped to 100F, and at 4:00 pm, the temperature dropped to 95F.  Thus, the real temperature was 53 degrees Fahrenheit LOWER than the "reported" heat index of that same hour, with the hour being 12:30 pm.  

In that geographic area in July, 90 to 95 to 105F to 110 is usual.  It's expected as a part of life and history there.  Moreover, the airport comprises 13,115 feet of runway.  And asphalt is the great heat absorber.  But, the relative humidity is the driver of the heat index.  The bottom line is that it was an average weather temperature day at the Persian Gulf Intl Airport, on July 16, 2023.                                                        

According to THE SCIENCE, the July 16, 2023 heat index in Asaluyeh County should have been no more than 137F ... NOT 152F.  Observe.  The actual temp was 100F, at 12:30pm, and the humidity was 65%.  

Look at the heat index chart, yourself.  100 degrees Fahrenheit, at 70% humidity, should only have a heat index of 142.  When at 60% in humidity, the heat index temp should be 129F, for 100F.  Someone needed to make a mathematical amendment, for the July 2023 heat index report.

Summer days of 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, and even 115 Fahrenheit was/is a part of the usual temperature in the entire extended area during summertime, even in Southern India, as well as in Baghdad.  Again, we have hyper-exaggerations being planted in the minds of society.   Journalists will use anything to sale Belief in the Imminent & Present End of the World.  Q: And why?   ANS:  It's because fear sales.

This post shows how "it" has all happened before, and that, in many instances, the weather was slightly worse, moderately worse, and on occasion, much more worse in past decades and in past centuries.

The Majority of the American Extreme Heat Records remain in the early to mid 20th Century

The way in which Al Gore, Michael Mann, Joe Biden, and the mainstream media has been talking, you instantly assume that all of the record high temperatures for every American state occurred at some time in the 21st Century.  That is NOT the case, at all.  Only FIVE out of the 50 American states had their all-time record high temperature in the 21st Century.

Those five states comprise: 1] Colorado (July 20, 2019),  2] South Carolina (June 29, 2012), 3] South Dakota (July 15, 2006), 4] Utah (July 5, 2007), and 5] Washington State (120F, on June 29, 2021).  

Moreover, three of America's states have 19th Century heat records which have never been broken; only tied.  There are  ~Maryland,  ~Montana, and ~Oregon.  Oregon tied its heat record on June 2021.  It tied a heat record that was 122 years old.  That same heat record is now 123 years old.

Eight of the American States had their record all-time high temperatures transpire in the 1990s ... mostly in 1994.  As far as goes the 1980s, a grand total of two states had their record high temperatures then.  

Two states had all-time record highs in the 1970s, and ZERO states had an all-time record high in the 1960s which was known for its severe cold & "the temperature decline" hidden by Michael Mann, in his hockey stick graph.  Three States had all-time record highs in the 1950s, and ZERO states had an all-time record high during the 1940s, known for outrageously cold World War events.  

The early 20th Century all-time heat records show that the Al Gore & Michael Mann Climate Theory is a lie.   This is because the CO2 level was much lower during the record setting years.

1] Very northern New Hampshire reached 106F, back on Independence Day 1911.  2] The record high for the deep South state of Alabama was 112F, on September 6th, 1925.  3] The record high for ultra liberal and mostly heated California was 134F, in 1913.   4] & 5] The record high for often-heated Florida (109F) and often-warm Hawaii (100F) were both in 1931 ... April 27th, 1931 for Pahala, Big Island, Hawaii & the 29th of June, 1931, concerning the temperature northeast of Tallahassee.   

6-9] In addition, the record high temperature for Tennessee (113F),  Mississippi (115F),  Kentucky (116F),  Delaware (110F), and  0] Washington DC (106F) all occurred in 1930.  10] Alaska reached its record of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, at Fort Yukon, on June 27, 1915.  11] Eleven years later, the Empire State of New York reached its all-time high of 108F.  The exact date was July 22, 1926.  

12-22] In going further, the record high temp for the states of  Arkansas (120F),  Indiana (116F),  Kansas (121F),  Louisiana (114F),  Maryland (109F),  Michigan (112F), Nebraska (118F), North Dakota (121F),  Pennsylvania (111F),  West Virginia (112F),  and Wisconsin (114F) were all in the Year 1936.  This is evidence that 1936 had ... or may have had ... the hottest summer of them all.

Note:  The same Maryland record high of 109F also occurred in July of 1898 and in August of 1918.  Technically speaking, this is a 19th Century heat record which has  never been broken . . . only tied.  

Plus, the 119F record high of Oregon which occurred at Pelton Dam in June of 2021, previously occurred at Pendleton, on August 10, 1898.  Thus, the Oregon record high is a 19th Century record that has never been broken, either ... only tied.  That which happened in 2021 already happened in 1898, when the outdoor CO2 level was much lower than it is today.

23] One year later, in 1937,  Montana tied its all-time high of 117F, on July 5th.  Previously, Montana reached 117F, on July 20, 1893, when the CO2 level was 294 ppm.  That amounts to 69% of the Feb 1, 2025 level of 426 ppm.   So, this 117F reading is also a 19th Century heat record which has never been broken, either.

24-26] In fact, the hottest day for Idaho (118F),  Indiana (116F), and  Ohio (113F) were all in 1934, the year declared by NASA as the worst drought year in the past one-thousand years.  27] Vermont's hottest day spans back to July the 7th, 1912, at 107F.  Maine's hottest day was 105F, on July 10th, in 1911.  29] And Minnesota's hottest day was 115F, on July 29, in 1917.  

So, where is all of this 2023 Global Boiling?  The height of American temperatures occurred from 1896 to 1936.  That amounts to 87-to-127 years ago.  It looks like the Climate Activists are behind the times..

The need to deep-dive into this 2023 assertion of a Global Boiling Climate Crisis 

There is a moral obligation to go into detail about this July 2023 assertion, to see how hot it really was or was not.  Were we being played?  Was all of mankind being played?  The answer is below.

In the meantime, there has been an invalidating contradiction in the recent reports of European temperatures returning to their 20th Century record-breaking years.  The specific contradiction was the prediction that England will turn into Siberia, due to 1] Greenland ice melt into the salty Atlantic, 2] slowing the flow of American Gulf Coast water from making its way through the British Isle waters and into the northern border of Scandinavia.  

Well, which one is it, weather predictors?  Will England roast like summertime Madrid or will it freeze like Siberia? 

This inquiry into 2023 requires one to compare July 2023 with the summertime heat of other years, even as far back as 1878.  It's simply a matter of comparing the distant past with the recent past.  This, therefore, requires at least two dozen charts of July 2023 temperatures to be displayed from various sectors of Planet Earth, to see if it were hotter than usual all over the world or only in a minority of the areas.  Those 24 charts are also posted below, for the purpose of seeing if there were places on Planet Earth cooler than usual, in July of 2023.  And as a preview, there were places did were below their average temps.

This particular post contains information on the Distant Past Weather.  The "distant past" here is defined as 1878 to 1938.   The link to the post which contains the more recent weather info is directly below:

       https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2025/02/2023-temps.html

Furthermore, the post which contains the information on very distant & low-CO2-level megadroughts is attained via the link directly below:

https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2025/02/megadroughts-long-ago.html

All three parts of this series will reveal the Real July 2023.  If you can perceive that long-term megadroughts, during the low-CO2 centuries, were actually common, then you will know that you have no intellectual obligation to fall for the line, "this drought is a climate crisis caused by CO2."  

The CO2 level was too low to cause the scientifically identified & catalogued droughts that trace back 1,200 years.  Those specific droughts have been occurring since Charlemagne's reign, thereby proving the valid global existence of the MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD which was NOT a local event limited to a small part of Europe.

Media's Doctrine for you to believe as a religion

Scientists recognize that there isn't enough CO2 in the atmosphere to cause a climate crisis.  This is why they look for POSITIVE FEEDBACK mechanisms.  They look for enhancers of CO2, so that they can tell Congress and NGO managers that CO2 is killing the planet, through a more intense "positive feedback" mechanism triggered & driven by CO2.  Well, it's not.

The big lie of 2016 was :::  "This we have never seen before."  Well, we sure as Hell have, lady.

The bottom line is this ::: The modern media & the climate activists, as well as certain politicians, keep asserting that "this we have never seen before," concerning natural disasters and the such.   The truth is that "this has all happened before, time and time again."  Look at the newspaper articles below.

The other note is that, if 2023 were the sign of the End of the World, then the world would have ended shortly after 2003 ... or 1976 ... and definitely shortly after 1911 or 1921.  Well, the World didn't end yet.

The Years 1933 to 1938 were brutal, too.  1921 & 1922 were very brutal as a combo.  1896 was brutal.  1878 was brutal.  In fact, the Year 1871 really did look like the end of the world was coming to the northern midwestern states of America.   But, the world of humans did not come to an end.  So, let's NOT go about, like the Biden Shadow Presidency did, in killing off humanity in the name of saving humanity ... with ridiculous Draconian Regulations.  

CO2 is not the enemy molecule that needs to be driven from the sky.  PM2.5 is, in reasonable proportion, of course.  Why doesn't the modern media have a crusade against PM2.5?  After all, PM2.5 has been stated on death certificates as the cause of death in some cases?  

2023:  As of July 4th and beyond, it was an El Nino Year

At this point, the most important feature to remember is that, on July 4, 2023, El Nino set-in.  El Nino deals with the west-to-east directional flow of Equatorial water currents providing heat to the west coast of America and then travelling inland, even to the Midwest.  After all, the Earth rotates west-to-east.  

The second point to make is that El Nino is entirely "CO2-unrelated."  So, a relatively warmer than usual December was to be expected in 2023, due to El Nino.  And such a thing can make any year look warmer on a graph ... chart ... table ... almanac.

As an added lesson, whenever the Equatorial water currents perform a 180 degree turn and start moving east-to-west ... along the traditional "Trade Winds Route" ... you have La Nina, upon which Indonesia & Australia get the moisture and the warmth, instead of the drought conditions.  It has nothing to do with CO2.

The Heating Ocean Paper that was retracted in 2018

Of course, a number of exaggerated "global warming" papers of recent years were found to have non-factual and invalidating assertions in them.  This included the famous "ocean-is-burning" paper which resulted in Nicholas Lewis finding a decisive mathematical error in it, thereby proving the paper to have been a bit of a hyper-exaggeration.  

The "ocean-heating" paper said that CO2 is bringing infrared heat into the oceans at an alarming rate.  But, the paper had a decisive error.  The error had to do with the calculation of Atmospheric Potential Oxygen. 

Published in Nature Magazine in 2018, it was the "Resplandy,  Keeling,  et al. paper."  Quantification of ocean heat uptake from changes in atmospheric O2 and CO2 composition", Nature, vol. 563, pp. 105-108, 2018.  

Of course, those who report on these science papers always have to crank-up the emotional terror and dread factor amongst schoolchildren.  That is a form of child abuse, because it seeks to get children everywhere to submit to the adults generating the emotional terror.  This, in turn, gets parents to submit.  This is followed by outrageously large sums of taxpayer-funded Congressional appropriations being sent to the "Climate People."

Below is a link to one of the retractions of one of the eight or nine authors of the Resplandy Paper of 2018.   See for yourself :::

https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2018/11/resplandy-et-al-correction-and-response/

At this point, it will help anyone to take a look at the 24 archived newspaper articles posted here, followed by viewing 24 official monthly temperature charts for the Year 2023, in Part 2 of this series.  Included in Part 3 is a long-term megadrought chart provided by the US government which shows that it was a complete falsehood for Michael Mann & David Attenborough to have asserted that the weather of Planet Earth was mild for a thousand year period, until the start of the Industrial Revolution.   

Answer for yourself if whether or not the Year 2023 showed the signs of having been close to the hottest year in the past 2,000 years.  And then, you need to ask yourself how much of this heat was due to CO2.  

Moreover, in 2003 ... twenty years prior ... there were 70,000 heat related deaths in Europe, 15,000 of which were in France.  In 2023, there were only 5,000 heat-related deaths in France.  Before this was 1911, when a 70 day-long heatwave in Europe killed 41,000.  Ten years after 1911 would come the historic heat years of 1921 & 1922.  In addition, the Summer of 1976 was a tragic time for Paris, also. So, why didn't 2003 or 1976 or 1921 or 1911 get proclaimed the hottest year in the past 2,000 or even 130 years?   

ANS:  It was because there were no Biden Administration officials pushing for that type of claim until 2022, 2023, and 2024.  

In addition, there is another pragmatic answer.  The year with the warmest winter usually wins.  The year with a viciously cold winter ... such as 1936 ... never wins.  Yet, 1936 was brutally hot in the Summertime.

The most important question is if whether or not exceptionally hot summers are now the norm ... the trend ... the only show in town.  If not, then the world has been given another long-term dose of End-of-the-World propaganda.  

One answer is that there have been more "short duration" cyclones in recent years.  There have also been more low-grade cyclones not strong enough to be categorized as hurricanes.  They are called Tropical Storms.  

Yes, a number of Atlantic Ocean storms each year are getting weaker and shorter.  Some are not.  Yet, major hurricanes have been ... and still are ... a part of Atlantic life for centuries.  They are NOT relatively new.  They didn't begin with the Industrial Revolution.  

Massive storms of varying types have appeared throughout the centuries.  All in all, hurricanes are nowhere near the stage that Al Gore predicted them to become, in his 2006 movie days.  There have been no Category 6 hurricanes ... or their equivalent ... in the 21st Century

That which is also known is that, between 1999 and 2016, there was no global warming of any kind.  There was a slight and insignificant cooling.  And of course, Global Warming is judged by the temperature in the middle of the Troposphere.  If the middle of the Troposphere does not warm, then there is no Global Warming.  

Being that there was no global warming before or after the 2006 Al Gore movie, the Climategate Email scientists agreed to change the name of Global Warming to Climate Change.  A title that vague could enable scientists to blame every weather event on CO2 and even methane.  And of course, the media failed to mention that 90% of all of Planet Earth's greenhouse gases is WATER VAPOR ... (BY VOLUME).   In as much ...

How much of dried & parched crop damage was there in 2023?  How many rivers dried-up?  How many famines were there, and what square mileage of society did these famines comprise?  Were there armed conflicts at farm silos, during 2023, due to food stock depletion?    Were any Elbe River Hunger Stones exposed?  You know, there was one Hunger Stone exposed in 2018.  So, why isn't 2018 the hottest year in the past 2,000 years? 

Simply keep in mind that, every year, someone claims that the year prior was the hottest one ever.

The late 19th & early 20th Century Heat Parade

               

Below:  Thus came this 1931 NY Times report detailing the heat of 1896 & 1901, thereby showing the People of 2023 & 2024 that "this has all happened before."

This particular 1931 NYT historic account indicates that heat-related deaths ... even amongst the many horses who did die in NYC ... have three decisive contributing factors:  1] Asphalt.  2] Specific types of air pollution.  2] the amount of electrolytes in the nearby water supply, as well as the metabolism of the electrolytes.  

THEREFORE, if you are going to be in a heatwave, get a supply of Cream of Tartar Powder, for the potassium in it.  Put a small bit in a cup or glass, stir it up and drink it.  Or sprinkle it on food.  Hypokalemia comes in heatwaves.  It's explained well in many websites and YouTube channels.

Also, I actually live in the "college town" part of Pittsburgh, meaning that I do talk to people from far away.  This includes southern and northern India.  I have been told by southern Indians that they are used to 111 degree Fahrenheit days, while they get chilly in 72F London afternoons.  

The Himalayans get pierced with their type of winter weather.  It's an athletic workout to merely endure winter there.  All in all, New Yorkers of the 1890s were not used to temperatures that southern Italians, Madrid Spaniards,  southern Greeks, and Baghdad natives were/are able to take.  Thus came tragedy amidst the asphalt.

The Year 1921 is the year which proved Michael Mann's hockey stick graph to be a fraud

In the 1921 newspaper article below, only the headline and subtitles are legible.  But, this photo is proof enough that there was nothing new that happened in the weather of the past three years that didn't happen already, 45, 85, 104, 130, and 147 or so years ago.  It all happened before, and sometimes intensely so.

Plus, in 2021, 2022, and 2023 there were periods of record lows and needed snow, as well as needed rain, dam reservoir replenishment, and record high crop yields, even into 2024.  Weather is a mixed bag and climate is a circular roller coaster.

Below:  Newspaper Report #21 --- This is proof that things were much worse in America in 1934, even though the CO2 level was much lower back then, at 309 ppm.  Today, it's at 426 ppm.  

The evidence that things were worse is in the massive dust storms that travelled throughout America in those years, even into Ohio and New England.  How many Americans alive today have ever seen in America what people saw there in 1934 & 1935?  How many young climate activists were caught in a dust storm as intense as the ones in the mid-1930s?

        This is the Times Leader, Wilke-Barre, Pennsylvania, Monday May 14th, 1934, edition, page 10.  

 Below: Newspaper Report #22 --- The Dust Bowl, in 1935, in all its intensity ... when CO2 was low.

    Below:  Newspaper Report #23 ---  Also 1935, in all its intensity.

      Below:  Report Number #24 --- A Dust Bowl reports showing that it wasn't limited to Kansas.

     ********************************************************************************

Below:  1936 was regarded as having had the hottest Summer.  After the many lies of the Biden Shadow Presidency gets sifted-away, we will see if this is still the case.  None the less, the Summer of 1936 was a matter of high heat, widespread heat, and deadly heat, all when the atmospheric CO2 count was quite low.   

At this point, take note of the 1936 newspaper article's subtitle, "ENTIRE NATION CONTINUES TO SIZZLE."  This is evidence that the Dust Bowl was NOT limited to Kansas and Oklahoma.  The heat of 1933, 1934, 1935, and 1936 spanned an entire continent.  

For example, according to the statistics, 405 people died in the very northern city of Detroit, during the Summer of 1936, from heat prostration.  Thus, the Dust Bowl was NOT a localized phenomenon.

As a reminder, 1936 also had a brutally cold winter.  Thus, it's not a candidate for the hottest year of the century, due to the low temps of its winter.

                                                                      Newspaper Report #24

    ********************************************************************************

Below:  1938.  Take note that after this came World War II and bitterly cold winters in the 1940s.  In fact, the 1960s had bitter cold, also.  The 1970s had brutal intermittent cold spells, as well.  Yet, CO2 was on the industrial rise. The temps should have continued to rise.  But, they did not.  This shows that climate is a cyclical roller coaster ... and NOT driven by CO2.

The 1940 to 1980 decline in temps should not have happened, IF the Al Gore & Michael Mann Theory of CO2 driving the climate were true.  In as much, this 40-year phenomenon of temperature decline shows that Al Gore and Michael Mann were wrong.  Those two people should have known better.  

        Newspaper Report #25 --- Now remember, below is a report of the European weather of 1938.

The list of archived newspaper reports go on and on.  The small sample above should be enough, to get the point across to you, unless you are an avowed liar who lives off of Congressional funding.  The lesson in this sample batch of past news reports is:::

Summary:  Climate is cyclical, and the atmosphere is NOT driven by any trace gas, especially co2.  It's driven by the Coriolis Effect, the Tilt (Obliquity) of the Earth, and the Sun which happens to steer Pressure Gradient Force and all of its facets.  There is nothing new under the Sun.

Asphalt is the great absorber of heat

The most common-sensed advice at this point is this:  When a heatwave comes, stay away from asphalt as much as is humanly possible.  Then get your government people to reinvent the proverbial wheel when it comes to road installation.  You need a material that doesn't absorb heat as successfully as does asphalt.   Then again, when a cold winter comes, you appreciate the asphalt.

Instead of having imposed all of the Draconian Regulations that the Biden Administration imposed upon Americans, all that was needed to be done was to appropriate taxpayer dollars in the discovery of a replacement for asphalt ... or to color asphalt with a whitish hue, and doing so without making the asphalt slippery.    After all, a slippery road is a road of death, and certain paints will make a substance very slippery.  None the less, the color white reflects the Sun's rays back into outer space reasonably well.  Such a thing is called, Albedo.  A mirror pointed directly at incoming sunlight has perfect albedo.

Part 2 contains 24 Northern Hemispheric weather charts for July 2023, to show you that all the Northern Hemisphere was NOT a wall-to-wall inferno during that time.

To supplement the understanding that Michael Mann & David Attenborough lied to the World, Part 3 has a chart provided by the United States government's NOAA, in its National Integrated Drought Information System.   It lists that which an advanced modern nation recognizes as megadroughts.  It includes that time span which was regarded by Mann & Attenborough was the 1,000 consecutive years of mild weather.  Well, it was NOT anywhere near 1,000 years of mild weather.  See for yourself:
