This week in 1910, Caruthersville, Missouri afternoon temperatures averaged 91 degrees.
On this date in 1910, more than half of the US was above 70F.
March 26 temperatures have been declining in the US since the 19th century, with 1910 the warmest, and the last six years all very cool.
Later in 1910, the largest fires in US history occurred.

An incredibly sad film about three young and obviously intelligent people who are suffering from “climate change anxiety”.
One of the guys sums up the whole thing, when he says:
“We are already seeing coastal city flooding, we are already seeing forest fires, we are already seeing flash floods, we’re seeing tornadoes”.
If it is true that more people are suffering this anxiety, the fault lies squarely with the BBC and its fellow travellers, who have relentlessly pushed unjustified alarmism, fake news and failed to offer a balanced, fact based coverage.
I’m no psychologist! But it seems to me that the basis of treating any anxiety or phobia is to get the patient to look at the realities of the situation, rather than their illusions.
If the guy who made the above statement was given the actual facts about sea level rise, forest fires, floods and tornadoes, he would quickly come to realise that these are natural events and have little to do with climate change.
Instead the BBC’s dopey psychologist who talks to them simply indulges their irrational fears.

Professor Ridd, who worked at the university for 40 years, has challenged the dismissal in the Federal Court, saying the university breached its own enterprise agreement which allowed all staff to express controversial or unpopular views.
The physics professor’s lawyers say the Townsville-based university, which is renowned for its marine science expertise, dismissed Professor Ridd in 2018 for breaching its code of conduct.
But they argue that the code was secondary to the enterprise agreement.
Barrister Stuart Wood said his client had every right to criticise his colleagues and the university’s perceived lack of quality assurance processes.
The first alleged breach of the code occurred in April 2016, when Professor Ridd emailed a journalist to allege that images given to the media by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority were misleading.
Professor Ridd said the images of bleached coral reefs near Stone Island, off the coast of Bowen in north Queensland, were misleading because they showed poorly affected corals, which were selected over nearby healthy coral and used to show “broad scale decline” of reef health.
Field technicians working for Professor Ridd took photos in the same vicinity as the bleaching pictures supplied by the university and GBRMPA which showed “spectacular coral living there”.
Professor Ridd told the journalist in the email that the use of the pictures was “a dramatic example of how scientific organisations are happy to spin a story for their own purposes”.
He also said his colleague Professor Terry Hughes, the head of JCU’s Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, would “wriggle and squirm” when asked to explain the discrepancies in the images.
“Mr Ridd said the photos being used were not, in his view, an accurate representation of what was going on at the site,” Mr Wood said.
“The complaint was that there should be much more care taken when representing the photos to ensure the story is not based on sensationalism but on science.”
Professor Ridd was sceptical of the photos and warnings around the health of the reef, which had undergone extensive bleaching, because his own academic work had shown coral health was not affected by sediment runoff or increased water temperatures, as claimed by other scientists
After receiving a warning from the university, Professor Ridd was censured again in November 2017 after appearing on Sky News and making similar claims about the lack of quality assurance processes on coral reef science.
At one stage Professor Ridd was told he could not even discuss the proceedings with his wife, leading Mr Wood to compare the proceedings to a coercive “star chamber”.

Prof. William Happer discusses climate matters with an interviewer in this video.
William Happer is one of our most renowned and esteemed physicists, a professor emeritus from Princeton University. He decidedly does not agree with the current panic about the horrors of “climate change.”He says, and explains why CO², carbon dioxide, doesn’t have much of anything to do with warming, and we really need more of it — not less. CO² is food for plants. The slight increase we have had is greening the earth. You can see it from space.
This conversation with Dr. Happer is completely fascinating and worth your time. Share it with your kids and friends and family.
You have surely heard the current crop of Democrat candidates hoping to run for the presidency against Donald Trump, speaking out on the notion that they will work to save us from the horrors of climate change and only disagreeing on how long we have left before it is all…
