Gore: Deadly Cyclone a 'Consequence' of Global Warming

It was bound to happen eventually - someone from the global warming movement tying the recent Myanmar cyclone to the so-called climate change phenomenon.

Former Vice President Al Gore in an interview on NPR's May 6 "Fresh Air" broadcast did just that. He was interviewed by "Fresh Air" host Terry Gross about the release of his book, "The Assault on Reason," in paperback.

"And as we're talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated," Gore said. "And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China - and we're seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming."

Gore claimed global warming is forcing ocean temperatures to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes, to intensify - despite the fact meteorologists have explained otherwise.

Moron is far too kind a term for the Goracle.

...the release of his book, "The Assault on Reason,"

So it's an autobiography?

More from the clown who wants to ban the internal combustion engine.

Guess there weren’t cyclones before the industrialized 20th century. Amazing what I can learn listening to algore.

[Be_Politically_Erect]

What a disgusting individual Gore is...using the deaths and suffering of hundreds of thousands of people for self-promotion.

[sappy]

I bet the volcanoe spewing a 20 mile high column of ash, smoke, gasses and debris doesn’t affect anything right, OWL.

Perfect title for a Gore autobiography don’t you think..ROFL

Sure am glad Gore lost weight in this pic, it would be backbreaking work hauling his butt around.

Gore said. .....and we're seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming."

You have got to be kidding? Algore actually said that? < /sarc

He should be harpooned, and his blubber sold for lamps to save some energy.

[MrB]

Oh, guaranteed:

He would “ban” the internal combustion engine, except for government and other “elite” uses.

[Wavrnr10]

I INVENTED THE CYCLONE!!!!!

It’s the only turd I’ve ever seen that has a face.

A wonder if the blowhard actually knows he is spewing nonsense and just keeps doing so to get richer off the backs of idiots.

[chainsaw]

And would we have global warming if gore had not said it was so? I doubt it!
