AGW gives us more weather disasters. That does not mean that there were never weather disasters before. It means that there are more of them. See Noevo is either a moron or does not care if she looks like a moron, in the hopes of misleading actual morons who might happen on her idiotic comments.

Having said that, the 1920s were interesting. Global warming had already started. Increasing greenhouse gases and land clearing, etc. had been going on at a fairly high rate for well over a century. Global surface temperatures were already elevated. During those decades (from the 19th century to the mid 20th) natural climate variation and human variation were more of the same scale, and the human causes included downward forcing of a magnitude not minuscule compared to upward forcing, as it is today. In those days, not only did we have to walk to school uphill in both directions, but we hat REAL pauses in global warming. The for several years during the 20s and 30s, there was not a pause, it was unpaused, and many of the effects we would later see associated with larger scale global warming showed up on a smaller scale.

That period was a kind of Global Warming 1.0, far less extreme than today,

Of course, the flood control measures/defences were *so* much better 90 years ago. It’s tragic, what with all the technology we’ve lost over time. Must be due to the increasing scientific ignorance of the U.S. population.

Unfortunately, nothing in that article about climate change.
