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.)
