We can see that the world was coming out of the Dalton Minimum by then with high sunspot observations :




The Little Ice Age had finished around a decade before in 1850, and we were entering a period of warming :

    When it comes to energy related matters everyone seems to be an expert irrespective of education. As observed by one fellow, "It never ceases to amaze me how people will do anything to save the planet except take a course in science"
