Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post:

"Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt."

The Washington Post, Nov. 2, 1922

"great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."

"This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s," says Mr. Lockwood. "I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all."
