The number of these events is on the rise - the great die off is a damn good model for what happens when cO2 reaches a high level - and we have a die off happening across the globe over the last 50 years ....

In summary, because you can't point to a cigarette and say "that one will give you cancer", then you cannot say "cigarettes cause cancer". That isn't science. That is seeking excuses. Science makes a testable prediction. Climate change results in more severe weather events. It doesn't matter the direction, warmer or colder, when it changes, severe weather events become more common. You have personally witnessed this, Houston gets a "100 year flood" every few years. It isn't like they missed a bunch in the historical records, it is a fact that such events occur much more often than they used to. Now as to why, well climate is a chaotic system. Climate and weather, not to mention fluid flow, are chaotic systems, and follow the same rules. And, in fact, why the discipline was developed. Now, is that true, or are you going to claim that such things, in fact, are not happening?

That is a silly thing to say. Of course not, but you can say GW increases the moisture in the air, and might will have made it worse. Do you not understand science and probability? < inode; "But there is no evidence whatsoever that the tragedy of this month was caused by CO2 in the air. There just isn't.

"there is no evidence whatsoever that the tragedy of this month was caused by CO2 in the air." That's something that rarely happens. However, Kerrville was made worse by the water vapor increase which was caused by the temperature increase which was caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2.
