### UK Drought of 1976, Historical Heatwave Comparison

- **Published:** 2024-09-01

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1691-joy-boy/chapter/uk-drought-of-1976-historical-heatwave-comparison.md

A retrospective on the UK summer of 1976 highlights a period of extreme heat where the River Thames dried up and the country faced a 10-week drought. The segment contrasts the "halcyon" and communal memories of that summer with modern climate change alarmism, noting that similar droughts occurred in the 1980s without the same political framing.

### Climate Change The Movie, Geological Temperature History

- **Episode:** [1651: WWX](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1651-wwx.md)
- **Published:** 2024-04-14

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1651-wwx/chapter/climate-change-the-movie-geological-temperature-history.md

A documentary featuring scientists from Harvard and MIT argues that current Earth temperatures are exceptionally cold compared to the last 500 million years. The film posits that mammals, including humans, thrive in warmer periods and that the current "interglacial" period is a historical anomaly. The segment challenges the narrative of unprecedented modern warming.

### Brian Katt, Climate Data Manipulation

- **Episode:** [1540: Happy in Helsink](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1540-happy-in-helsink.md)
- **Published:** 2023-03-23
- **Time:** 1:19:05–1:22:32
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1540-happy-in-helsink/chapter/brian-katt-climate-data-manipulation.md

Physicist Brian Katt argues that the IPCC manipulates climate data by choosing the "pre-industrial" period—the coldest point in the last 10,000 years—as its baseline. He notes that natural history shows much warmer periods, such as when hippopotami lived in the River Thames 130,000 years ago.

### 1911 New England Heat Wave, Historical Temperature Records

- **Episode:** [1471: Publical Emergency](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1471-publical-emergency.md)
- **Published:** 2022-07-28
- **Time:** 45:29–48:35
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1471-publical-emergency/chapter/1911-new-england-heat-wave-historical-temperature-records.md

Historical records from July 1911 reveal a massive heat wave in New England where temperatures reached 110 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. In Hartford, Connecticut, and parts of Rhode Island, thousands of people were affected by the extreme conditions long before modern concerns about global warming. This historical context is used to challenge current media narratives that present modern summer heat as unprecedented.

The special concludes with a 1970s news report warning of a coming ice age following the brutal winter of 1977 in Buffalo, New York. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak wrap up the episode, noting that the archival clips demonstrate the shifting nature of climate alarmism. They remind listeners that the next show, episode 1337, will be the "Leet" special and sign off from their vacation destinations.

### California Wildfires, Historical Climate Records 1860

- **Episode:** [1181: Solutioning](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1181-solutioning.md)
- **Published:** 2019-10-17
- **Time:** 2:31:57–2:36:39
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1181-solutioning/chapter/california-wildfires-historical-climate-records-1860.md

The hosts argue that California's wildfires are a result of poor forest management rather than global warming, citing the 1860 diary of botanist William Brewer. Brewer's records describe extreme weather events and massive fires in the state long before modern industrialization.

### New York City Hurricane History, Superstorm Sandy Comparison

- **Episode:** [730: Solution Space](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/730-solution-space.md)
- **Published:** 2015-06-14
- **Time:** 25:40–29:47
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/730-solution-space/chapter/new-york-city-hurricane-history-superstorm-sandy-comparison.md

John C. Dvorak presents a historical timeline of major hurricanes hitting New York City to counter claims that Superstorm Sandy was an unprecedented "new normal." He cites the 1821 hurricane, the 1938 "Long Island Express," and several mid-century storms that produced higher storm surges or more rainfall than Sandy. The data is used to argue against the narrative of human-accelerated climate change.

At the United Nations, President Obama rallied global support against Russian aggression in Ukraine and the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. He repeatedly used the meme "the right side of history" to frame his agenda. The President also committed the U.S. to leading the fight against climate change, claiming that the world looks to America for rescue missions in times of global threat.

The History Channel's Earth 2100 is identified as a "scare movie" promoting climate change alarmism and corporate solutions. The hosts point out that the film's parent company, General Electric, stands to profit from the green energy technologies advocated in the program. They also note the appearance of former "Green Czar" Van Jones and the promotion of Monsanto's drought-resistant crops.

### Global Warming, Erratic Weather, Historical Perspectives

- **Episode:** [62: The Greatest Depression](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/62-the-greatest-depression.md)
- **Published:** 2008-12-20
- **Time:** 57:09–1:00:49
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/62-the-greatest-depression/chapter/global-warming-erratic-weather-historical-perspectives.md

The rebranding of "global warming" to "climate change" is discussed in the context of recent record-cold temperatures and snow in Las Vegas. Historical accounts from the 19th century are cited to argue that erratic weather, including "rains of frogs" and locust plagues, has always existed. The hosts suggest that modern weather events are being sensationalized to support environmental agendas.
