If the never-ending string of snowstorms has you believing global warming is a hoax, Al Gore says think again.
The former Vice President turned planet protector insists all that white stuff is just another sign of creeping climate change.
Warmer temperatures increase the amount of water that gets drawn from the oceans into the air, causing more rain and the current deluge of snow, Gore explains in the New York Times.

"ALBERT, GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED, your debate with Lord Moncton starts in one hour"
Yeah, the Laurel Highlands have been gettin’ hammered.
Give it a rest, Al. The more you say, the worse you look.
Yep and the conditions were just awesome. I never saw such deep fresh powder before. Best conditions ever. I was talking to this lady that lives 3 miles away, been skiing at seven springs for over 20 years, she was telling me that these were the best conditions she ever saw here, it was like being out west.

It’s that big umbrella philosophy. Your theory has to be big enough to explain everything. Or nothing.
Even were we to grant the premise Gore is arguing, the extra snow-pack (and cloud cover) increases the albedo of the earth, creating a negative-feedback mechanism that is omitted in the models that predict catastrophe, all of which (besides being rot because they attempt long-term prediction of a chaotic dynamical system) overstate positive-feedback mechanisms. (cf. critiques by Lindzen).
That's racist!
Our Al Gore: “Me am say more hot make more snow”. The Bizarro version of Al Gore would say Global Warming is a hoax.
The Gorons rarely bring that up because increasing cloud cover is the most powerful negative feedback, and white snow on the ground a close second. They don't want you thinking about the clouds, yet clouds are key to climate. They always claim we don't know much about clouds and change the subject.
I guess that box in my kitchen is manufacturing global warming.
I wondered if I was the only one who thought that. My choice would have been, “No. Al Gore is an idiot who is getting rich off the rest of us.”
If so (I didn't read it much), it doesn't change anything about how I perceive Al Gore and all this ginned up AGW stuff.
I don't think Margret Thatcher was a socialist either. Please enlighten me if that's the story.
Get’s any warmer and I’ll never get my snow shovel put away
Dang! Wish I could still ski. Spent many a day there but I think this year would be hard to beat.

Right now, my four foot burn barrel is completely covered in snow. I've never seen so much snow in my area. There is no place to put it. As I was shoveling my 60 foot driveway, I was trying to figure out how to dehydrate this white stuff. There has to be a way. Think about it. When it gets too warm, all we'd have to do is rehydrate the snow and Voila! instant coolness. Maybe a blender is needed during the rehydration process.
Al, please cry "uncle"
