Climate-change Canards
The articles on climate in the February 3 edition of TNA are interesting and revealing about the political agenda that surrounds climate change. I have looked back at actual environmental conditions from “recent” geological past, and they offer some interesting observations.
Official weather records only go back to the 1880s in America and 1914 in England, but there are numerous other records of weather prior to that time. They were mostly individual observations found in diaries, letters, and unofficial reports. Even though they are not scientific findings, they are clear indicators of climate change that existed in the past.
Both European settlers and indigenous people suffered excess mortality in Maine during the winter of 1607-1608. That same year extreme cold was reported in the Jamestown, Virginia, settlement. In the winter of 1780 New York Harbor froze, allowing people to walk from Manhattan Island to Staten Island.
