No doubt you've seen the Climate Commission propaganda doing the rounds today about how it's been the hottest summer ever with the most extreme weather event sin the entire history of the universe.

Dissenting ABC News Watch dug through the national archives and found that 1953 wasn't too bad a summer either, even before global warming was popular.

Lies of the Climate Commission: Part 14 – Climate on steriods! 
A few years back ABC's resident Climate catastrophist, environmental activist Sarah Phillips, put together a post that linked weather events and the climate. In her piece "One swallow does not a summer make" Sara saw the signs of climate disaster in 2010's weather events, linking 7 weather events with dangerous man made climate doom.

The Climate Commission has gone one better and described the current weather as the "Angry Summer" due to "Climate on Steroids". In response to Sarah's piece we put together a list of Weather events for 1953 to compare. Here's a recap for those who think the Commission has jumped the shark (again).

Let's compare the portents of climate doom of 2010 with another random year, lets take 1953, before modern warming-surely things were much calmer back then.
