I love these types of blog posts. The author over at the Notoriously Conservative blog has made a rebuttal post to a story that ran over on Yahoo News that attempted to tie in natural disasters to global warming. Of those 220,000 people killed in 2008, 70,000 of them were victims of an earthquake in China. Cold weather (another side effect of global warming??) killed 1,000 people in January. The article goes on to confirm that there were fewer natural disasters than in 2007. So unless earthquakes are now under the realm of climate change, I think we can call this myth busted.

About the Author
iEntry has written 1962 stories on this site.
A social and fiscal conservative, I scour the news for information that disputes the current man-made global warming indoctrination that takes place around the world. I take a rather sarcastic approach to reporting on the nonsense being spewed by the talking heads in the media and the governments around the world.
