Sure looks like a heat wave, doesn’t it?
Repower America Reports His View
By Al Gore from his blog @ algore.com
With all the climate deniers spreading lies about the climate crisis in the media, it’s vital we arm ourselves with the facts. Thankfully, Repower America put together a great fact sheet explaining the relationship between the climate crisis and extreme weather:
“Fact: Climate change causes more frequent and severe snowstorms
Record snowstorms need two things: temperatures below freezing, and very high humidity. On a planet warmer by a few degrees on average, the Northeast US will still have plenty of days below freezing; the big difference will be warmer seas producing higher levels of moisture in the air – and therefore more severe cold-season storms.”
“Fact: We can expect more extreme weather
Scientists tell us that climate change has already led to more extreme weather in the United States and we can expect stronger hurricanes, more wildfires, heatwaves and droughts, to name a few.”
“Fact: The world is warming at a quickening pace
Weather in one region over days or months should not be confused with climate or the patterns of weather over decades and centuries. And the science is clear here: the last decade was the hottest on record. And to put this year’s weather in perspective, January was warmer than average for the continental United States”
============================
I could spend lots of time pointing out why each one of these claims is false, and that Mr. Gore is atcually the one who is the liar, by why deprive my readers of all the fun?
One thing Gore doesn’t mention: El Nino. Wonder why?
You can bet he’d be making the same claim if we had a below normal snowfall records too.
“….and the lord will afflict your lands with fire, unspeakable storms, droughts, flooding, horrible cold, and launch you into the steaming cauldron of your carbon spewing ways…..”

But what’s a little anachronism when you’re being post-modern? Such a little thing didn’t prevent Ada Lovelace from publishing the first computer program in her notes in 1843. (She is the reason that the Pentagon’s computer language is called Ada.)”
This has less to do with post-modernity but more with mathematics.
so: This winter is officially pronounced the coldest since 1978 in the UK, with enough snow coverage to give that claim some visible credence.
That means 1978 was as hot as the noughties. It also means that the heavy snowfalls in the mid 19th century (the holocene’s coldest period) was a period of unprecedented global warming. Furthermore, the glaciations during ice ages, and accompanying snowfalls that theoretically permitted to travel directly from New York to London across ice was even warmer than this period of the holocene.

Too bad that eastern snowstorm didnt strand AL GORE in his $30:000 a day home without any electricity for a whole week or more
