Everything is always "the worst" according to the supposedly educated modern morons and snake oil salesmen.  They do not wish to recall the hunger stones of past famines and hardship.  So they just plain lie.  During the low solar cycles of the 1870s and 1880s there were some severe famines in India and China that killed millions.  Charles Oscar was busy in those days too.  This has been a good reference to "the good old days".  Refer to the global droughts and famines of 1783‐1785, 1876‐1879, and 1895

This is interesting with regard to how data past and present is constantly being massaged and how these corrections can easily lie:

Thanks for this reference, Mr. b.  The comments to this one are fun.  Steve Mosher weighs in with his usual cryptic, caustic nonsense in support of endless adjustment's of the temperature record.

There is a hot place awaiting them.  But it won't be on Earth.

I'll see you that one and raise you this one.  The Federal Government "Science Agencies" need to be purged from top to bottom.

From JC's website: A very good analysis demonstrating how data can be used to mislead.

Do any paper authors take stats anymore?  What about referees?

[missouriboy]

They are banging on about a continuation of the Western European drought this summer.  What say you Brits?  French?  Do we have any French?  Is that continuing Azores lower pressure?  Big negative summer NAO?

I had to put this somewhere .... so here it is (from 2016):

A summer temperature bias in early alcohol thermometers

Abstract
his paper analyses the response of alcohol thermometers in relation to the departure from linearity and the choice of the calibration points. The result is that alcohol thermometers are affected by large departures that reach a maximum (i.e. −6 °C) at 50 °C ambient temperature. This may have caused a severe bias in early records, when alcohol thermometers were popular, especially during the Little Ice Age. Choosing a lower temperature for the upper point, calibration may substantially reduce this bias. Examples are given with thermometers in use in the 17th and 18th centuries. A careful correction of long series is necessary to avoid misleading climate interpretations.
