Global Warming - A Look at 1930
Here's one of those "inconvenient" historical and factual records...
Randy Hall has learned:
"'From June 1 to August 31, 1930, 21 days had high temperatures that were 100 degrees or above' in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, Patrick Michaels, senior fellow for environmental studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, told Cybercast News Service. 'That summer has never been approached, and it's not going to be approached this year.'"
"Between July 19 and Aug. 9 of that year, heat records were set on nine days and they remain unbroken more than three-quarters of a century later. 'That's hot,' added Michaels, who also serves as professor of natural resources at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va."
