*In 1825, forecasters predicted decrease in the flow of the Susquehanna River causing a lack of water access, due ot the river's sources staying frozen over too long.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1825-11-22 |title=The Susquehanna and its branches |pages=2 |work=Pennsylvania Republican |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/pennsylvania-republican-susquehanna-clim/105996772/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> In 2023, climate scientists have pivoted, describing the river as "flood-prone" and stating that climate change poses a risk in terms of temperature increases, rather than decreases.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-01 |title=Climate change in Pa.: The flood-prone Susquehanna River watershed poses a widespread challenge |url=https://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2023/03/01/climate-change-in-pa-the-flood-prone-susquehanna-river-watershed-poses-a-widespread-challenge/ |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=StateImpact Pennsylvania |language=en}}</ref>

*In 1936, the at-the-time [[Henry A. Wallace|Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A Wallace]], claimed that the United States would be affected by climate change in a way where droughts would be "a frequent occurrence from year to year."<ref>{{Cite news |date=1936-07-06 |title=Climate Changing? |pages=6 |work=Star-Gazette |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/star-gazette/89557566/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> From 2010 to 2022, the only severe droughts occurring in the United States were those in [[California]], a state already known for mismanagement of forests and wildfires.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Historical Data and Conditions |url=https://www.drought.gov/historical-information |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=Drought.gov |language=en}}</ref>

*In 1867, the [[Michigan]] state legislature considered passing laws to promote forestation, as they believed that deforestation was causing more severe winters.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1867-05-08 |title=The Michigan Legislature |pages=4 |work=The Fairfield Herald |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-fairfield-herald-climate-change-act/82550028/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> This is contradictory to modern climate theory, which states that a lack of trees are causing carbon emissions to go unabsorbed, causing warmer winters.

*In 1877, Nevada newspapers claimed that the Sierra National Forest was going to disappear due to logging practices, and would drastically affect climate in California.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1878-01-01 |title=Denudation of the Sierras |pages=5 |work=Nevada State Journal |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/nevada-state-journal-article-about-defor/110375673/ |access-date=2023-06-17}}</ref> Although later subdivided, the current forest is still over 1.3 million acres in size.

*In 1834, French scientists M. François Arago stated that compared to 1553, French summers had been getting colder, leading to issues growing grapes in the department of Mâcon for wine.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1834-03-15 |title=Change of Climate |pages=4 |work=The Preston Chronicle and Lancashire Advertiser |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-preston-chronicle-and-lancashire-adv/97330731/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> In modern times, the department sees average yearly highs around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and prior to the French heat waves, had experienced a maximum high of 103 degrees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mâcon Climate, Weather By Month, Average Temperature (France) - Weather Spark |url=https://weatherspark.com/y/50796/Average-Weather-in-M%C3%A2con-France-Year-Round |access-date=2023-06-16 |website=weatherspark.com |language=en}}</ref>

*In 1845, climate forecaster "Dr. Sherwood" made the claim that climate changes every 666 years, and that at the current time, America was on track to get milder temperatures, and Europe was on track to become colder overall.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1845-01-29 |title=Change of Climates |pages=2 |work=The Louisville Daily Courier |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-louisville-daily-courier-climate-cha/105962094/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> Nowadays, modern climate scientists attempt to convince us otherwise, saying that the entire world is consistently getting warmer.

*In 1867, the [[Michigan]] state legislature considered passing laws to promote forestation, as they believed that deforestation was causing more severe winters.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1867-05-08 |title=The Michigan Legislature |pages=4 |work=The Fairfield Herald |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-fairfield-herald-climate-change-act/82550028/ |access-date=2023-06-16}}</ref> This is contradictory to modern climate theory, which states that a lack of trees are causing carbon emissions to go unabsorbed, causing warmer winters.

*In 1873, a few newspapers printed stories on a study noting that winters in the [[Gulf of Mexico|Gulf]] were becoming more and more severe.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1873-03-12 |title=How Climates Change |pages=1 |work=The McArthur Enquirer |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-mcarthur-enquirer-climate-change/11334237/ |access-date=2023-06-17}}</ref> Not only did this story fall flat in its predictions and concerns, this is in contrast to modern day climate alarmists, who voice that Florida and Louisiana will be underwater within 20 years.

*In 1877, The Washington Standard reported that in [[Siberia]], winters were getting colder and summers were getting warmer.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1877-05-05 |title=Climate Changes in Russia |pages=1 |work=The Washington Standard |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-washington-standard-climate-change/105962606/ |access-date=2023-06-17}}</ref> In the past 20 years, the region has seen a very reasonable average daytime temperature ranging from -27 Celcius to 25 Celcius throughout the year (-16 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Climate: Siberia in Russia |url=https://www.worlddata.info/europe/russia/climate-siberia.php |access-date=2023-06-17 |website=Worlddata.info |language=en}}</ref> 2023 also saw the coldest winter in Russia in the past 20 years (record low of nearly -80 degrees), and close to the coldest in history. Climate activists claim that this is "in spite" of climate changing, despite the constant alarms that winter is disappearing due to greenhouse gas emissions.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Livingston |first=Ian |date=2023-01-12 |title=Siberia sees coldest air in two decades as temperature dips to minus-80 |language=en-US |work=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/01/11/siberia-russia-extreme-cold/ |access-date=2023-06-17 |issn=0190-8286}}</ref> If global warming is true, surely it should prevent record low tempuratures from being achieved?
