Flashback 1941: Scientist claimed Global Warming Caused Hitler – Warmer temps ‘may produce a trend toward dictatorial govts’ – ‘People are are more docile & easily led in warm weather’

Would a 1930s UN climate treaty have prevented Hitler & Mussolini?! (This is so confusing, also see: 'DID GLOBAL WARMING SAVE HITLER?')

1941 claim: 'Increasingly warmer temperatures throughout the world may produce a trend toward dictatorial governments'

1941 claim: 'The rise to power of Adolf Hitler in German and Benito Mussolini in Italy may be due in part to the gradually warming temperature of the world.'

1941 claim: 'People are more docile and easily led in warm weather than in cold'

'Links Fascism with Weather' - United Press (UP) - March 27, 1941 - The Mason City Globe-Gazette (Mason City, Iowa)

UP: 'Increasingly warmer temperatures throughout the world may produce a trend toward dictatorial governments, in the opinion of Dr. Clarence A. Mills, professor of experimental medicine at the University of Cincinnati.

In fact, Dr. Mills believes that the rise to power of Adolf Hitler in German and Benito Mussolini in Italy may be due in part to the gradually warming temperature of the world. People are more docile and easily led in warm weather than in cold, Dr. Mills insists.

Dr. Mills is author of a theory that climate has a marked effect on human growth, stature, sex development and disease resistance."

Dr. Mills was a professor of experimental medicine at the University of Cincinnati. He was the author of more than eighty articles in scientific journals and of three books, ‘Living With the Weather’, ‘Medical Climatology’, and ‘Climate Makes the Man.’

But wait! ‘DID GLOBAL WARMING SAVE HITLER?’ – High heat day may have saved Hitler from an assassination attempt. Adolf Hitler survived the assassination attempt of 20 July 1944. Why? Three pieces of evidence point the way:

From “The history of the German resistance, 1933-1945” by Peter Hoffmann, p655):

…the briefing conference was normally held in a bunker and…on 20 July only it was held in a flimsy hut owing to the heat

From Wikipedia: Hitler would have been killed had any of the three other scenarios occurred:
* both bombs detonated;
* the meeting was held inside Hitler’s bunker;
* the briefcase was not moved.

RealClimateScience comment: ‘Sec. of State John Kerry says that global warming at 400 PPM CO2 produced drought and ISIS. This is a familiar theme, because in 1941 experts said that global warming at 310 PPM CO2 produced Hitler.’

In 1974, the CIA said that global cooling at 330 PPM CO2 caused drought and political instability.

Flashback 1941: War Caused Weather Extremes And Global Weirding! ‘The ancient belief that years of war tend to bring abnormal vagaries In the weather’ – 1941: ‘There have been remarkable extremes ot weather since the war began, and these have continued all through the year. The spring was one of the bleakest on record, and summer began in the same way. The first 10 days of June yielded 131 hours of sunshine, which is the ordinary ‘allowance’ for January. Then a drought and heat of an unusual character occurred suddenly, with temps up to 94 degrees in London’

Flashback 1923: ‘WINTERS ARE WARMER…extremes of cold in winter no longer occur as they did in years gone by’

PRINCE CHARLES: ‘Climate change’ root cause of Syrian war: The prince said in an interview with Sky News, to be aired on Monday and recorded before the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, that such symptoms were a “classic case of not dealing with the problem”. “Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn’t tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move,” he said.

Reality Check: Scientists reject notion that human-caused climate change led to war in Syria – ‘Human-influenced climate change impact on the drought conditions was almost certainly too small to have mattered’

2014 Study: ‘The humanitarian crisis of the late 2000s largely predated the drought period.‘ – ‘Focusing on external factors like drought and climate change in the context of the Syrian uprising is counterproductive as it diverts attention from more fundamental political and economic motives behind the protests and shifts responsibility away from the Syrian government.’

‘For The Last Time, No, The Syrian Crisis Was Not Caused By Climate Change’

In 1933, similar baseless claims were made. See: 1933 claim: ‘YO-YO BANNED IN SYRIA – Blamed For Drought’
