NASA Admits Error: 1934 Back to Warmest Year in U.S.
Climate Audit ^ | August 8th, 2007 | Steve McIntyre

Posted on 08/08/2007 9:07:54 PM PDT by chipengineer

There has been some turmoil yesterday on the leaderboard of the U.S. (Temperature) Open and there is a new leader.

A little unexpectedly, 1998 had a late bogey and 1934 had a late birdie. (I thought that they were both in the clubhouse since the turmoil seemed to be in the 2000s.) In any event, the new leader atop the U.S. Open is 1934.

The laser thermometer that I checked it against had an accuracy of +/- 1 degree C (2F) at 32 to 150F of reading with 1/10th degree. I ran the full scale in approximately 30 degree steps.

The early to mid 30’s. I think 34, 5 & 6 were the worst if I recall correctly.

I wouldn’t trust today’s readings - have you heard where they’re putting some of the ‘official’ weather stations?

Needless to say, the author really wanted to be out playing golf when he penned the article.

My late father lived until 2003, and the 1930s had the hottest and coldest weather he ever saw. One summer, I think it was 1936 (perhaps 1934?) the entire yard (this was in the country, so about three acres) got to the point where it was just cracked earth, with cracks he could put his whole hand down into. There hasn’t been a repetition of this since then.

“In 1934 to 1936, three record drought years were marked for the nation. In 1936, a more severe storm spread out of the plains and across most of the nation. The drought years were accompanied with record breaking heavy rains, blizzards, tornadoes and floods.”

This quote was taken from the following site. I have no problem thinking 1934 was the hottest on record.

Good thing they didn’t have globull warming back then.

There are sunsopot observations made at Greenwich, England, dating back to the early to middle 1600’s that have become extremely important in determining sunspot activity as an indicator of our sun’s energy output. An absence of sunspots for decades coincided with a very long duration of cold weather. It has become known as the Little Ice Age. So, just because scientists may not have had the most sophisticated of equipment back then in the 17th century, it doen’e equate that they couldn’t observe and make correlations. Ergo for 1934.

The "Googling" I did awhile back put 1936 as the warmest year. I believe it was followed by the coldest winter also. I guess it depends on where you were, to get the absolute highest reading. The Dakota's were devastated by the extremes then. The most revealing part of the Dust Bowl data was the lack of rain for about 9 years.

All this is why I don't give any credence to "man made" global warming. It goes through cycles, is easily verified, and is caused by the Sun. Man made global warming is a political plot to take your money, destroy America, and raise up the socialist "global citizen think".

Elect some of these wacko's next election cycle and get ready to turn over sovereignty to the UN or the Euro Zone. The Chinese will be driving BMW's and we will be on mopeds. Then the world will crow about how capitalism is a failure.

"I would not trust the quality of data from 1934 to be compared with that of today’s standards."

And you'd be wrong. The science of thermometry has been very mature for a LONG time.
