The 1930's was hotter then today. Read up on the Dust Bowl. That was caused by high temperatures and drought. They had more days over a 100F then we do now.

For CO2. If you study the ice core samples. You will see that the temperature went up first. Followed by CO2. Not CO2 first followed by temperature. Right now we are at 400 to 450 ppm in CO2. In the past. We have been as high as 4,000 ppm. Mass extinction starts at 200 ppm of CO2. So how low would you like to get it. Plants NEED CO2 to grow. If we get to 350 ppm. There will be mass starvation. The weaker plants will start to die off.

Global warming has become a cult. If you don't believe in it. They will try to shut you down. You are not allowed to have your own opinion. Every predication ever made has NEVER come true.

Everything I just wrote. You can find at wikipedia.
