The news from London to Sydney Thursday last, that the cruellest winter for seventy-five years was mercilessly harrowing all countries from the Atlantic to Asia, some temperatures being the lowest on record, makes us hark back to New York news of last November 7, which said : \u2014<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
World-wide evidence that climate is getting warmer was presented to the American Institute of Physics\u2019 temperature symposium.<\/div>\n
The change may be the start of one of the major changes of climate which the earth has known since geological times, long before any recorded history.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
“Climatologists,” said J. B. Kincer, United States Weather Bureau, Washington, “have considered historic climate as a rather stable thing, with short period variations of considerable magnitude, but without especially significant trends to higher temperatures, world-wide in scope, as to suggest that the orthodox conception of stability of climate needs some revision at least.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He cited weather records. In Portland, Oregon, in the last two decades 17 of the 20 years have been warmer than normal. The warmest was 1921.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Every year since 1922 has been above average.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Omaha, in a similar period has had 15 years warmer than normal, with the peak in 1931. In Washington, D.C., 17 years have been warmer than normal and every year since 1926 has brought above normal heat in that city. Washington\u2019s warmest year was 1921.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n
\n
Capetown, South Africa, recorded 19 years warmer than normal, with the hottest in 1927.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
World-wide monthly records for 23 years, show all but four considerably warmer than normal. Two of these were at normal, and two were colder than the average. These records have been completed only up to 1932.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Although not a part of the climate change evidence, the world\u2019s coldest and hottest figures may be involved in the change.<\/div>\n
The coldest on record was 90.4 below zero in Siberia. This happened in February, 1892.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The hottest recorded, however, came in September, 1922, with 136.4 degrees in Tripolitana, a North African possession of Italy. Our experience here in Australia of abnormally hotter weather, whether in summer or winter, has been that it always preceded by many days the report of severe earthquakes in other parts of the world.<\/div>\n
This abnormal heat is distinctly different from sun heat, but none of the scientists interested in earthquakes have ever mentioned it, as far as we know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
