Guest essay by Larry Hamlin
The EPA has deleted (this chart and data no longer exist at the EPA website) its prior indicator climate data trend chart showing “unusually hot and cold temperatures” across the U.S. and showing the U.S. Heat Wave Index from 1895 to 2015 (shown below) that clearly established the unique drought and heat period of the 1930s.
This long-standing climate data chart has now been replaced by a chart which simply “disappears” any notion of the great drought and heat wave period of the 1930s as shown below.
EPA have also added another chart of “Heat Waves” climate data that does not even contain the 1930s period as shown below which starts in the decade of the 1960s.
The chart of U.S. droughts remains the same but given the changes to date in the other charts and their data this charts remaining time is probably short lived.
It appears that we have entered the Soviet Era of “disappearing” charts and data but now under the era of the “Biden climate science purge.”

Comrades Biden and Trudeau know best. Big Brother! Big Brother!
It wouldn’t be that they purged Steinbeck … they would just move it to Science Fiction, or Fantasy.
Memo to president DeSantis. Find bloke who did/authorised this fraud, lock him up for treason and throw away the key.
It will soon be time to appoint Dr. Trofim Lysenko to head the EPA and establish re-education camps for those of us who have not accepted the complete and true doctrine of AGW. After that, with the right level of government cooperation, dissenters will be treated much harsher. Never mind the famine (the unintended negative consequences of Lysenkoism whose corollary in my view, is AGW policy).
Considering the current article (above) exposing government data manipulation to favor an unsettled scientific “conclusion”, the energy Industry AGW civil suits, the political and media character assassination of AGW dissenters (Dr Soon, Dr Curry, Dr Koonin et al) it appears to me, we are following a similar path today that Lysenko (and Lysenkoism) followed in the 1930s. Have we learned nothing from history? It is true that dissenting Soviet scientists sent to re-education camps were victims, but in a larger sense, the Soviet people who starved to death by the millions were the real victims of a society unable to effectively manage government policy driven by a highly unsettled scientific claim.
Today’s radial socialists (aka Marxists) are again imposing Lysenkoism in the guise of “Climate Science” – to the great detriment of real Science. Restore the foundations of “Take Nobody’s Word for it” (In nullius verba) per the Royal Society’s motto. Test All Things. Validate/invalidate models based on objective evaluation against real data.

Ironically, it were the high temperatures and droughts of the 1930s that prompted Guy Callendar to promote his theory that rising industrial CO2 in early 20th Century was causing the rising heat. The subsequent cooling after his 1938 paper only temporarily dampened enthusiasm for his hypothesis. Like socialism, notions of a Bermuda triangle, and other bad ideas, anthropogenic global warming has taken on a life of its own.
How many fingers…. Winston?
I completed an analysis of the 30 year average high and low temperatures for all provincial capital cities, Ottawa’s, and the capitals of the thee territories n Canada. While I did find global warming it was at roughly half the rate NASA reported. Furthermore, it has been driven by milder winters and higher daily lows in the rest of the year. The increase in daily high temperatures is minimal. In Canada global warming is benign.
Not benign ….
Beneficial !
Soon white supremacists will be blamed for JFK assassination.
