Thanks to a recent article from Steve Goddard - 1921 : Earth Had A Fever
, I came across this gem weather report and others from 1921, I am not sure how much "man made" co2 was around, but it was lower then today, so it goes to show the lower the co2 the more the world warms up. Or maybe world temperature and co2 don't follow afterall.
DROUGHT IN BRITAIN.
Unparalleled Heat Wave. LONDON. July 19. The serious drought in Western Europe continues. The rivers of France and Bel- gium are lower than they have previously been for 50 years, and the crops are suf- fering so severely that disaster is threat- ened. In some districts water for man and for cattle is being carted for miles. The mountain torrents of Switzerland are not one-third of their usual volume, and many of the Alpine slopes are bare of snow.
The drought in Great Britain has now lasted 86 days. Although there have been occasional light rainstorms in some districts, the gene- ral record of heat and drought eclipses all recent droughts, such as those of 1911, when for 24 days, and 1893, when for 30 days, there was no rain. Many holiday- makers, instead of doing their walking in the daytime are tramping through the night to avoid the heat. At least a dozen bathing fatalities were announced to-day.
