Bad Disasters Happen, Again & Again

The below is a list of past severe weather events and natural disasters – prior to the consistent 350+ppm CO2 levels attained in the 1990’s. In addition, scattered throughout the list are interesting “expert” climate predictions and observations. Based on the review of severe weather history below, extreme climate change has been happening a very long time. Most of these events (approximately 1,600) took place years before the claims of man-made global warming. © Copyright 2009 – 2016 | C3 Headlines  (Updated: 1/02/2016)

Many items in list are a direct result of Steve Goddard’s effort at Real Science and Popular Technology’s site. Also, James Marusek has published a huge list of historical weather incidents, many of which are included below. (see Modern & historical temperature charts.)

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
