CO2 is much less harmful than those other substances. In normal concentrations is beneficial and necessary. Increasing that concentration may have harmful effects or it may not, the other substances are more clearly harmful, in some cases strongly toxic.

Unlike the other things, CO2 is vital for life on earth.

UK Struck By Rare Tornado, Then Snow - Michael Mann, Gavin Schmidt & Kevin Trenberth Blame Global Warming Read here and here. So far, 2011 has produced a number of disastrous events including: extreme cold and snow, earthquakes, tsunamis, radiation releases, floods, fires, rainstorms and tornadoes. Recently, this has led the IPCC's big-guns, the ones who provided us with Climategate and put climate science into such deep disrepute, to opine that human CO2 and global warming are to blame for these severe weather events and other 2011 calamities. In the realm of nature and Earth's climate though, a lot of really bad stuff happens and humans are not the cause of it. Take 1879 for example - below are samples of what the newspapers and etc. reported that year. Be thankful it's not 1879, or many other really bad years. [ But Edwin Drake drilled that well in PA in 1859 and that's what caused these calamities:] •1879: Southern England Suffers Rare Tornado, Followed By Snow •1879: Winter In England Is 5.4 Degrees Colder Than Average •1879: Devastating Hurricane Strikes Tahiti •1879: Terrible Australian Drought Followed By Disastrous Floods •1879: Ceylon Hit By Multiple Floods Causing Great Property Damage •1879: Indian Ocean Cyclone Wipes Bourbon Island Clean •1879: Immense Floods Overwhelm Sacramento, California Region •1879: New Years - Great Floods In England And Scotland •1879: Hundreds Lost At Sea During Bay of Biscay, Spain Hurricane •1879: Wisconsin Tornado Hits Multiple Rural Towns, 30 People Killed •1879: France Experiences Large Floods •1879: 165 MPH Winds Pummel North Carolina •1879: Hurricane & Two Waterspouts Bash Canton, China •1879: Half A Million Dead In Brazil From Drought, Starvation And Pestilence [Half a million? Wow! Damn you, Edwin Drake! ] •1879: Hailstorm In Austria Wrecks Crops, Hailstones Unusually Large •1879: Severe Thunderstorms & Hailstorms Thrash Switzerland - Fires and Floods Result •1879: 70 Million Chinese People Starving From “2 centuries of climatic change almost without a parallel” •1879: Account – Destructive Earthquakes Hit Japan Every Ten Years Michael Mann, Gavin Schmidt and Kevin Trenberth are individuals who will use any disaterous event, regardless of the science and empirical evidence, to bolster the fortunes of their failed AGW hypothesis. Unfortunately for these IPCC "scientists", history is replete with years of disasterous events prior to large human CO2 emissions. And every year, more and more of the global public recognizes that the truth is different than what Mann, Schmidt and Trenberth claim. c3headlines.com
