Chapter A. (Extract)
A1. Introduction to climate change
and man’s contribution The Second World War stands for pure
horror: the criminal madness of the German Nazi government, also, however,
for the only climatic shift from warm to cold in an otherwise constantly
warming world over the last 150 years. The three war winters of 1939/40,
1940/41 and 1941/42 mark the change. The regions that had been closest to
intense naval war activities, the Baltic and the North Sea areas, immediately
experienced the coldest winter in one 100 years. For this to happen, man
needed only four months since commencing the Second World War (WWII) on
September 1st 1939 not only during the first but also the second
and third war winter.
(Extract) 70 years have passed and science
has no idea of what had caused the extreme winter 1939/40. Even worse, there
is no sign of interest in the matter although two further extreme winters,
and a global cooling period of three decades followed. Even during peace time
the huge shipping and fishing industry has the potential to influence the
seasons and to contribute to global warming, which climatology has, to my
knowledge, never investigated. Meteorology and oceanography should be
dismayed that they failed to understand the climatic changes during the two
world wars, and for not having coordinated their research better to avoid
such horrible gaps in understanding the climatic change issue from an
oceanographic perspective. This fascinating book is a huge contribution to
improve the knowledge
of
the influence of human activity on the climate.

Results
Climatology does not
care! The connection between two naval wars and two climatic changes within
25 years has not been investigated and explained yet. That can’t be may some
reader say. However, that is actually the case. Climate science does not know
to this day that during the global warming over the last 150 years the two world wars have
influenced the two significant climatic
changes in this period. Even for the meteorologists of the war generation there was
nothing in the way to obtain knowledge about this relationship. If they had been warned by the intensity of the threat of climate
change, as their successors
currently do with the "greenhouse
effect",
World War II may have been prevented,
or at least war activities
could haven been limited. They did not, and this justifies the question: Had meteorology been too ignorant and stupid in the
first half of
last century?

A. J., 1943, “Cold winters at A2. The
experts who do not see a war It
is hard to believe! The experts from the department of meteorology have never
taken into account the fact that a major war can change the weather pattern.
To highlight the failure, the following consideration focuses on the opinion
of ten experts concerning the reasons for the extreme war winters of 1939/40,
1940/41 and 1941/42. Seven of these experts
were contemporary witnesses, the other three were born much later. One could
assume that the list of a few witnesses is selective, but surprisingly enough
it is not. Whether named or not[1],
not anyone has said anything about the relevance of human activities in this
matter. A link between war and weather was never investigated; in either naval
war. Although
all recognised that these winters had been extremely exceptional, not even one
of them raised the most obvious question, namely this one concerning the role
the war had on the weather. How can science work with such a big lack of
curiosity? How can climatology claim that they understand ‘climatic changes’
if they do not even know the reason why weather and climate deviated at the
onset of WWII. It happened under the eyes of modern science. The following
presentation of views provides a fairly comprehensive picture of the
negligence of science in the “war changed weather” issue. WWII ended 65
ago and science has no idea of what the war did to the weather. This is
unacceptable. a.

Drummond, A. J., 1943, “Cold winters at
If
we were to choose a sentence that was published and that alone should have
forced legions of scientists into motion and kept them busy until they had
convincingly established the reasons and conditions of why it had happened, we
could choose this one: “Since
comparable records began in 1871, the only other three successive winters with
as much snow as the recent ones were those during the last war, namely
1915/16, 1916/17 and 1917/18, when snow fell on 23%, 48% and 23% of the days,
respectively”. (See
also: Lewis,
1943[2]) Or
this statement:
“The present
century has been marked by such a widespread tendency towards mild winters
that the ‘old-fashioned winters’, of which one had heard so much, seemed
to have gone for ever. The sudden arrival at the end of 1939 of what was to be
the beginning of a series of cold winters was therefore all the more
surprising. Never since the winters of 1878/79, 1879/80 and 1880/81 have there
been three in succession so severe as those of 1939/40, 1940/41 and
1941/42.”
What
in the world prevented Drummond to
link his observation to naval warfare? Also his colleagues were and still are
silent, although his essay offers many more interesting observations, which Sir
George Simpson made comments on the same issue (1943, Discussion, p.147f): “I feel this paper is a unique source of information for
future climatologists and I am certain that for every hour Mr. Drummond spent on his work other people will spend a great many
more in making use of his data.” The
honorable
Sir
George Simpson would
turn in his grave if he knew
how much he had
miscalculated. Not one
of the "future climatologists"
has made use of Drummond's observation. So it up
to this work to present at
least the most important observations in
the following chapters.
