Wonderful articles that in today's world the authors would be labeled nothing short of the D word.   Imagine them thinking climate variability and climate cycles are the causes of climate change.

From Saffron Walden weekly of 26th Jan 1978

I find H H Lamb's analysis very odd.

The 1940s had some pretty extreme switches, 1947 being the big one.

1940 had a severe January, a warm June, a cool July, June was dry, July wet, August was dry. November was very wet

From the Telegraph of 2nd April 1973 warning Britain could be on a brink of a drought

Quite an early newspaper reference to what is now called ‘the Greenhouse Effect ‘ and which was first developed as a theory by Eunice Foote and John Tyndall in the 1850s - very prophetic.
