Inside the Beltway John McCaslin:

D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library of Congress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post: “Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt.”

The 1922 article, obtained by Inside the Beltway, goes on to mention “great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones,” and “at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.”

“This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s,” says Mr. Lockwood. “I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all.”

so in the 1920s and 30s, 150 years after the industrial revolution started and when the the skies of the great cities were choked with smoke, we saw evidence that there was a possible warming trend?

nothing earth shattering there.

I don’t know. I find it interesting, but then I don’t feel the need to poo-poo every little thing that disagrees with my viewpoint.

What is disappointing is that the article doesn’t say anymore. Were there similar dire predictions or just observations? Obviously, things got better. Why? (that is rhetorical, unless you have data and/or another article with more details - I really don’t need someone’s biased guess.)

I guess he can’t claim Global warming as his anymore but don’t feel too bad for him. He will still go down in the history books after all he did invent the internet!
