Here's why I don't believe there is a shred of evidence to support these claims. When the slight global warming that occurred between 1970 and 2000 came to a virtual standstill, the doomsayers adopted "climate change", which apparently means all extreme weather events are caused by human emissions of CO2. Cold, hot, wet, dry, wind, snow and large hailstones are attributed to humanity's profligate use of fossil fuels. But the pause in global warming kept on and became embarrassing around 2005.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_coral-reef-wikimedia.jpg
