Climate change means increased severe weather and asthma attacks. See what it means for your state: http://t.co/Pe9mOTVAro — US EPA Research (@EPAresearch) July 1, 2013

Climate Depot has a headline from Goddard that touts all the weather (not climate) issues of 2013 in the context of the highest ever reported CO2 concentration in modern times. Unfortunately, the link contained no proof, only claims. I decided to provide the proof.

First, about that 400PPM of CO2:

Unfortunately, they backed down from the claim later saying:

‘Carbon dioxide measurements in the Earth’s atmosphere did not break the symbolic milestone of 400 parts per million at a Hawaiian observatory last week, according to a revised reading from the nation’s climate observers.

The current level as of this writing is at: 395.50ppm and has actually gone down since the announcement of breaking the 400 ppm mark:

Next: let’s take each of the claims below and provide the context for proof:
