Warmth is no Worry but Cold Kills

Failed crops and famine stalked Europe, Asia and America

It was ice, not global warming, that killed and entombed millions of mammoths and woolly rhinos in Siberia and Alaska.

It was unrelenting cold and then ice, not global warming, that forced the Vikings out of Greenland.

A while ago we discussed wind – maybe a little off topic here, so why not go on

This piece of information I picked up from one of my favorite weather web sites, Norwegian yr.no and is part of a lengthy article about cyclones. The picture originally by is so nice that I think everybody should see it.
In a subtitle, the Norwegians write:
It shows cyclone paths from 1851 to 2016. It’s easy to see the difference between the North Atlantic and the South Atlantic
Indeed, it is.

The Norwegians furthermore write (excerpt):
Catarina - the hurricane nobody wanted to acknowledge
Many will remember Katrina who wrecked havoc in Louisiana, USA, in 2005.
The namesake, Hurricane Catarine, is less famous, but not less special. It made landfall in Brazil in March of 2004 and is the only tropical hurricane registered in the South Atlantic.
The event was so extraordinary that the state meteorlogists in Brazil would not acknowledge that the country had been hit by a tropical hurricane – it took one year for them to recognize it!

I liked the video KLiK. Too bad it didn't crash. Probably would have taken out a few climate change deniers... I guess when they ignore the science for long enough they start feeling foolish. Super partisan people stake out ridiculous positions until, of course, it effects them.

Cheers

It's happening all over Europe.
These are the shots from Sep from Croatia:

In my almost 40y, I don't remember such a devastation. :(

However, back in 1976 and in this particular National Geographic article, most of the emphasis for concern was the apparent global cooling occurring in most parts of the world. A quote in the article from Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, Jr. of NOAA and member of the U.S National Science Board in 1974 gives the reason:

“During the past 20 or 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but sharply over the last decade.”

Then there is a string of quotes from a variety of other “experts” around the globe listing a range of “strange” climate trends being measured or experienced. Some of these showed warming, but most of the troublesome reports had to do with either cooling or more ice or advancing glaciers such as the Meares Glacier in Alaska that “nudges toward Prince William Sound at 100 feet a year.”
