EU Referendum: Any goo will do
If ever one needed an example of quite how useless is the MSM, here it is - a softball interview with the snake-oil salesman himself, and a repeat of the infamous "one mistake" meme.
James Marusek: A Chronological Listing of Early Weather Events | Solar Cycle 25
Over the centuries, mankind has experienced tremendous rainfalls and massive floods, monster hurricanes and typhoons, destructive tornadoes, parched-earth droughts, strong gales, flash floods, great snowfalls and killer blizzards, lightning storms sent down from the heavens, blind dense fogs, freezing rain, sleet, great hail, and bone-chilling cold and even an occasional mudstorm or two and in-between, periods of warm sunshine and tranquility.

Hi Tom, I agree - this has the makings of an excellent resource, but should really be a series of web pages that could be regularly added to.

The historical record contains vast numbers of these accounts of weather extremes, many very well documented. Steve Goddard regularly posts such accounts, and the archives accessed via Google News yield lots of them as well - it would be great to have these in one place, for easy and quick access.

By the way, just to say also that your site is the first website I check every day for updates in the climate debate, and I usually come back many times a day. You're doing essential and important work that's much appreciated!
