We keep hearing from alarmists that if we sacrifice by giving up carbon based fuels and bring atmospheric CO2 concentrations below 350 ppm, then we will get nice weather with far fewer extremes – like in the 1930s.
Reader Jimbo however shows that this is all bogus. Now he has compiled a list of extreme weather events occurring in 1936…before 15 billion “Hiroshima bombs worth of heat” were added to the climate system by humans – and at a time when CO2 were well below the “safe level” of 350 ppm.
Recall awhile back we posted Jimbo’s list of extreme weather events for the year 1935 here.
Now he has his list of…

Nice list, Jimbo!
Readers, next time snake-oil alarmist climate salesmen claim a recent weather event was “unusual” or “unprecedented”, just present them with this list and the 1935 list.
That whole period had amazing weather. For the anniversary of the 1938 hurricane, I wrote a post at WUWT looking at other weather in New England between the floods in 1927 and the hurricanes in 1954.
See http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/09/21/weather-before-and-after-the-hurricane-of-1938/ and
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/nerfc/historical/mar1936.htm
Anyone who claims global warming has brought more extreme weather hasn’t looked at the historical record.
I am currently working on 1937 and hope to cover other years at a later time. The aim is hopefully to make the gullible aware that it’s just bad weather which has always been with us. I’m still looking for the peer reviewed evidence that clearly shows that the dice is loaded. Not some short term study but one that goes back to at least 1975 AND shows that it was caused by man’s greenhouse gases.
Below is a collection from C3 Headlines between 1933 to 1938.
Idiot scientists at IPCC backpedal from their caims of a Global Warming-caused mass extinction wave.

And here I thought they knew the future.
