Flame Weapons Film Table and Fantasy

[sultanbev]

Hmm. As an ex 'Environmental Studies' student, (Not a good one!), just wonder if WW2 shows up much on such things as 'Peat Cores' , 'Ice Cores' or 'Tree Rings'? Damn... wish I'd thought of that  when looking for a dissertation project... a Long time ago!    Not my bag, now. 

I recently found there was a world wide drought in 1947, after a freezing 1946 winter, where harvests other than in America fell by as much as half. The US was able to step up and send the world surplus grain and fertiliser (and extend it's hegemony). For students of climate change WW2 showed the perils of giving people unlimited energy to burn....
Bizzarely, the most detailed account is in a US Coast Guard Appropriation Bill of 1947!:

At least the High Seas Fleet turned out to be useful for something after all, I guess.
