Global warming was supposed to be the largest threat to humanity ever and it was just tossed aside like last week's garbage in the face of this election years circus antics.
I see the weather channel talking about all the old records high temps from 1929-1931.
So I looked up solar cycle 16. It seems that long solar minimus, with no sun spots for a long time make for record heat.
The solar minimum going into cycle 16 lasted 528 spotless days, the maximum was April 1928. The records came pouring in over the next 3 years on and around the second peak.
