The Great Chicago Fire Was The Little One That Day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chicago-fire2.jpeg

On October 8, 1871 (before global climate disruption) the city of Chicago burned to the ground. What is less known is that several other much larger fires occurred the same day.

The Peshtigo, Wisconsin fire burned 1.5 million acres (82 Manhattans) and killed about 2,000 people. That same day, fires destroyed the cities of Holland, Manistee and Port Huron, Michigan.

Once the fires started it was reported that gale force winds swept across Michigan. In addition to Michigan’s own fires, the Peshtigo firestorm in Wisconsin sent flaming boards of lumber some 14 miles (23 km) high. It also crossed the Menominee River and set other fires on the Michigan side of the border. A painted sign that had become airborne during the Peshtigo Fire was discovered near the burned village of Birch Creek

Some people have speculated that it was comet fragments from Comet Biela which started all the simultaneous fires, but we now know that they must have had something to do with CO2 – since all weather and climate is controlled by CO2.

    Man, I never would have guessed CO2. I guess it really heated things up in 1871!
    See you can never quit learning how the world works.

    Manmade CO2 causes comets to come closer to the earth, and in the future it will continue to worsen. Robust data has been established to prove that CO2 causes every known catastrophe to man, as well as every unknown. If we don’t curb CO2, and fast, the number of comets coming near earth, will continue to increase. They will come more frequent and closer than ever before. Comet free skies will be a thing of the past.

      I am happy to learn that CO2 causes comets to come closer to earth and reaches so far out into space as to cause this effect. This must be the reason so many meteors crashed into the moon.

    In reading about the Peshtigo fire I see this interesting fact:

    ….the Peshtigo Paradigm. This paradigm was closely studied by the American and British military during World War II to learn how to recreate firestorm conditions for bombing campaigns against cities in Germany and Japan. The bombing of Dresden and the even more severe one of Tokyo by incendiary devices resulted in death tolls comparable to or exceeding those of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki…..
