Cold English Summers In The 60’s
July 27, 2014
By Paul Homewood
Another interesting piece in the Telegraph, from the ever informative Philip Eden, concerning July temperature trends in England.
He comments just how cold the 1960’s were.
The rapid extent of sea ice around eastern Greenland is a well known phenomenon, referred to in Iceland as the “sea ice years”,and was followed by another expansion in the late 1970’s.
The fact that it had such a dramatic impact on summer temperatures in England suggests that sea ice would have been much reduced during earlier decades.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Date, please.
“things are better now” — I don’t have a time frame for Philip’s comments.
The article is from last week, John. He is referring to the last couple of decades.
He says that
“only the 1690’s were colder”
If true this is absolutely remarkable, because it implies that the 1960’s were colder- in England- than during the entire last part of the LIA, including the Dalton Minimum.
It could also be interpreted as meaning that if the solar grand maximum of the XX century didn’t happen, the predictions of imminent Ice Age of the 1970’s could be spot-on.
