In the past three-quarters of a century weather had been getting warmer slowly over most of the world, said Mr. Ivan Tannehill, chief recorder of synoptic reports and forecasts of the US weather bureau.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Records proved that this had actually happened in the US, he said in a recent article in the “US Air Conditioning and Refrigeration News”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The astonishing part of this progressive warming<\/span> up, he said, was that it had been going on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
without any scientific note for several years.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In the long upward trend of world temperatures there had been temporary setbacks. Colder<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
weather had been recorded occasionally. Then the slow march of. warmer weather had resumed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Still milder years, like nothing we have seen in this country in the century and a half of instrumental records, play lie ahead,” said Mr. Tannehill.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“The world is getting warmer, and should continue to do so for a comparatively long time,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“Could alter lives” “Drought, dust, oppressive heat, and tropical conditions could dramatically alter the lives and ways of living of those who live in North Central America during the next few<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
decades.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Prof. Hans Ahlmann, of the University of Stockholm, agreed with this hypothesis in an article in “The Royal Geographic Society’s Journal”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“The earth<\/span> definitely seems to be warming<\/span> up,” he said. “In Alaska, where physicists have been making an intensive study of the great shrinking glaciers, the melting of the ageless ice seems to have speeded up since 1920.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Adelaide Weather Bureau chief (Mr. Banfleld) said today there was no statistical evidence to show that the temperatures over the period records had been taken had changed either way in South Australia.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“The mean temperature of Adelaide has not indicated any perceptible cooling or heating,” he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
