Our weather today is blamed on Global Warming.

Here from a old document I have is a piece of our Local history from 200 years ago. Was that global warming?


1814 December 16th A great part of Jarrow Abbey Church was unroofed by a great hurricane at sunrise and continued throughout the whole day.

1815 December 30th In consequence of a rapid thaw accompanied by wind and rain, there was a great flood in the river Tyne. Several keels were out blown to sea with their crews, some of which were seen off Flamborough Head. The damage to farmers was very great.
