As I have show on several occasions, global cooling was a phenomenon of the press. In climatology circles, only a small fraction of papers were on global cooling, most were on global warming. And even then, the number declined over time. BS alert.....

Hi combjelly; Re: " In the early 1980s the possibility of the ice caps melting causing sudden rises in sea level was in the media." (1) The polar ice cap melting doesn't cause a rise in sea level because it's already floating on water. This is basic physics taught in any high school physics class. Sometimes they demonstrate it by floating ice in a glass and noting that after the ice melts the water level doesn't go up. (2) The antarctic ice cap has been growing recently. But if this did melt, it would indeed cause the oceans to rise. (3) The other major source of ocean rise is Greenland. But it's well known to geologists that temperatures in the Eemian were considerably hotter than now (for many thousands of years) and that this was unable to melt the Greenland ice cap more than about 25% or so. I believe your memory of the alarmist chicken-little predictions are correct. I see them repeated even now. But they're just as much in violation of accepted (consensus you call it) science now as they were then. -- Carl

40% Of US All-Time Record Maximums Were Set During The 1930s
Posted on January 30, 2013by stevengoddard
There are 824 GHCN HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920.

Forty percent of those stations set their all-time record maximum temperature during the 1930s. Twenty-one percent set their all-time record maximum temperature in the year 1936 alone.

By contrast, only one percent of those stations set their all-time record maximum temperature in the current decade. Eighty-nine percent of those stations set their all-time record with CO2 below 350 ppm.

NOAA says that 2012 was the hottest year ever in the United States. Only three stations (0.3%) set their all time record maximum during NOAA’s hottest year ever, compared to one hundred seventy two stations (21%) in 1936.

The table above shows stations which set all-time record maximums in 2012.

There were eight times as many all-time record maximums set in 1901 as there were during the hottest year ever 2012.
