We should just call it Climate Swindle.

Me and Pythagoras used to draw our triangles with sticks in the sand. He stole some of my best work.

The second scene is on Ridge Road, looking eastward toward Bldg 28 at Kodak Park East in Rochester. Across the street from Kodak’s “Theater on the Ridge”. The left turn sign is to enter the visitor’s parking lot at Bldg 28.

All that is fine, the real problem is how can Al Gore turn this into a money making machine?

I don't know if he made a good first impression. I heard he got cheesed for murder and beat the rap but then did time for not aiding and abetting.

Or maybe it was cows.

1976 was my first year in Colorado. It was one of those ninos/ninas where Colorado is in the warm zone. Watched people in points East freezing. I felt pretty smug since I had moved from the Midwest.

Thank you for your detailed description of the issue and names of contributors to the discussion. I first became interested in sun spot cycles in 1958 while taking an astronomy class. Then they spoke of 11, 22, 44, and 88 year points in the cycle. At that time I said, “OK, lets try to predict the future.” Taking 1930 as a start for the Great Depression and it’s severe droughts (like they have been having in CA recently), I added 88 years, and came up with, wait for it, wait for it, 2018. So I guessed we would be having some weird and severe weather in the late 20 teens. And we have.

I also became interested in volcanoes in 1944. I was about 6 and I remember my father showing me the National Geographic about Paracutin, the volcano that sprouted in this poor Mexican farmers corn field. In the 4th grade I drew an elaborate color chalk diagram of a volcano on the blackboard with all parts labeled. In recent years I have been studying the effects of eruptions on climate and history and comparing the eruptions with world temperature charts and other records. For example if you look at the temperature chart for the last several hundred thousand years (Google Images Of ....) you can see a very abrupt drop in global temperature right at the 74,000 period when Toba erupted and left a crater 16 x 65 miles in diameter. I also noted that there were several downward spikes in the charts between 30 and 20 thousand years ago. I was excited when I found that Sakaru-Jima, a currently active volcano in Japan is on the edge of a 22 mile wide caldera and erupted 22,000 years ago where one of those blips shows on the temp. charts.

So, when I saw the figure 1876-1976, I thought this might be a reference to 1876-1877, which apparently it was not. Instead a typo of 1976-1977. Thus I went to Google and found this entry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_large_volcanic_eruptions_of_the_19th_century

Since the person who made the typo was referring to the 20th century, at that link you can also click there to find very nice lists for the 18th and 20th centuries. It seems the severe weather happens several years after major volcanic events or several in close sequence. I remember for several years after Pinatubo there was crazy weather on the east coast and Canada. See the VEI index numbers to judge severity. Like the Richter scale for earthquakes the VEI numbers are a lot more that double the number preceeding. A 5 is much larger than a 4, and a six much larger than a 5. One interesting period in history was the Laki Fissure eruptions in Iceland in 1783 which Ben Franklin our ambassador to France thought might explain the crazy weather in Europe for several years after. The crop failures led to such poverty that the French Revolution erupted as violently as a volcano.

I had intended to list a number of you at my Comment #56, but my computer has been acting funny when I try to back arrow or forward arrow, so please look at Comment #56. Actually I had thought that Krakatoa might be good for 1876 but when I checked it was 1883, which does work for the NY blizzard of 1888. The 1816 year with no summer was the result of Tambora in 1815. The icebergs that killed the Titanic, and the deadly failure of a South Pole expedition in 1912 may have resulted from the enormous Katmai eruption in 1911. So check out those 18, 19, and 20th century charts linked at #56 and correlate some of your own favorite history events.

I don’t remember 1977 as being unusually bad in the mid Atlantic area. I do remember being in Iowa City in the winter of 1956-57 when the morning temperature for a week was between 25 and 27 below, and nice girls did not wear pants to class. The next year leotards were very in fashion. I also remember the “Big Snow of ‘47 when I was nine years old. There was 27’ of snow in NJ not far from NY City. I was wading in snow up to my armpits. My father shoveled a path to the sidewalk and I made a cave in the wall for my toddler brother to hide in. Frankly I don’t think the weather is getting colder based on personal experience on the East Coast and the middle west. We do seem to be getting more rain here, and greater storm severity with flooding.

I don’t remember 47 as I was not born yet. I do remember doing chores im deep snow and cold in the middle 50’s though. In the 90’s in eastern Colorado I worked outside construction all winter at temps to -45F. The warmest was still -20F for January.
I have no studied volcanic action/ cold weather. Only what I have read and it does make sense.
