"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."

Earth to Al, we call temperatures below freezing, cold. Not warm. Ocean waters in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic coast are colder then normal. Not warmer. The vast majority of moisture that falls on the Northeast will come off the cold Atlantic and cold Gulf of Mexico. Not the warm tropics. Weather systems are pressure driven. Not temperature driven.

"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."

Earth to Al, Hurricanes were weak in the Atlantic last season. Where were the heatwaves in the US last summer ? The US droughts are now over. IE - no more. We had a very weak fire season last year in Southern California.

"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"

Earth to Al, the science is no longer clear. The temperature records you use to claim the last decade was the warmest, are no longer scientifically accepted. In fact the CRU has decided they need to do a complete redo of their temperature record. In January Miami Florida recorded its first ever cold weather death. We no longer believe your temperature records have anything in common with the real world that we inhabit.

I wonder why AlGore thinks Phil Jones is wrong when he says there hasn’t been any warming since 1995?
