Gore Attaches Global Warming as Cause to Last Weekend's Storm in Northeast

If there’s a drought – it’s global warming. When there’s a hurricane – it’s global warming. If there are heavy snows or even blizzards – it’s somehow global warming. And amazingly, the latest round of rainy and windy weather in the Northeast, well that’s consistent with this phenomenon as well, so says former Vice President Al Gore.

Gore, the self-anointed climate change alarmist-in-chief, told supporters on a March 15 conference call that severe weather in certain regions of the country could be attributed to carbon in the atmosphere – including the recent rash of rainy weather.

“The odds have shifted toward much larger downpours,” Gore said. “And we have seen that happen in the Northeast, we’ve seen it happen in the Northwest – in both of those regions are among those that scientists have predicted for a long time would begin to experience much larger downpours.”

But Gore had a specific example in mind. He explained this recent soaking in the Northeastern United States was “consistent” with what global warming alarmists were projecting.

“Just look at what has been happening for the last three days,” Gore said. “The so-called skeptics haven’t noted it because it’s not snow. But the downpours and heavy winds are consistent with what the scientists have long warned about.”

So what did Gore suggest? He proposed to solve these weather events he tied to climate change by revamping the American economy to being powered by “clean renewable energy” and phasing out the reliance of foreign oil.

“And we now face the opportunity to start doing something about this,” Gore said. “Rather than continuing to spend billions of dollars on foreign oil, we can make a transition to clean energy and pass that money here at home on clean renewable energy sources, creating millions of new jobs, building new industries – making us more secure.”

Gore’s remarks are consistent with the media view of the issue. Journalists have repeatedly preferred the alarmist view on the climate over any opposition even when the weather is inconveniently different than predicted.

----------THOUGHTS---------

It must be great to be able to claim that everything is proof of your theories. When it’s cold, we are told that it's cold  because of Warming, or lectured  that one day does not constitute the pattern of the climate. Climate Alarmists however, will use any single weather event to raise fear in the public over their home-made crisis. It a little disingenuous. Weather can’t be one thing when it’s convenient and another when its not. But that is  exactly what they do. Cold weather (according to them) should be ignored unless it can’t be. Then, just claim it’s a result of carbon dioxide. There is no way to prove it, so just give the media your talking points and wait for the good press. This is so typical, and it is exactly this type of fear mongering that has made the cause collapse in on itself. The entire global warming premise is a giant series of contradictions. Everything that happens, regardless of whether they predicted it or not, is a result of global warming or climate change. It's cold because of us. It’s raining because of us. Floods, our fault. Droughts, still our fault. Hurricanes, or lack of hurricanes. Tornados or lack of tornados. It’s a rather brilliant little scheme.

Whatever you do though, don’t look at the man behind the curtain. Because he (gore) is one of the largest contributors of carbon dioxide on the planet. And, as I’ve mentioned before, he is set to make billions on top of what he has already made by pushing this concocted junk science. Global warming, climate change, and whatever they want to call it next: is nothing but a tool for bringing socialism, and a centralized world government. If the things they want to do to fix this don’t scare you; then you are either not paying attention, or you know nothing about history.
