- 1924: 148 died in a tornado outbreak.
- 1927: 500 died in a Mississippi flood.
- 1913: Death Valley temperature hit world record high of 134 F.
- 1972: Loma, Montana, had a 24-hour temperature change of 103 F.
- 1977: Measurable snow in Miami.
- There are hundreds more examples of more extreme past weather events.
- Plus, we're in a 7-year cooling trend.
Anyone can pick and choose certain events to support their beliefs. Forgot to mention major hurricanes which have hit since 1992, 26 inches of rain in Fort Lauderdale in <24 hours, 800+ inches of snow in California and Utah, drought affecting SW USA. Was in S. Florida for the measureble snow. Literally had to squint in order to see that snow.
