Al Gore Responds to Bill O’Reilly On Snow-climate Nexus

Al Gore responds to Bill O’Reilly on snow-climate nexus By Ben Geman - 02/01/11 03:36 PM ET

Al Gore is taking Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly up on his request to address this winter’s severe snowstorms.

O’Reilly on the Jan. 27 edition of The O’Reilly Factor asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra,” adding, “I have a call in to Al Gore.”

The former vice president and climate activist provided a response on his website Tuesday. “I appreciate the question,” Gore wrote.

“As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming.”

He then includes a blurb from February 2010 column by Clarence Page in The Chicago Tribune.

“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow,” the column states.

“A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species."

Looks like today I need to post this in every thread!!

In this post I want to illustrate why it is the location of the westerlies that determine areas that have extreme cold weather and snowstorms.

As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now

This is code for: "The scientific community has been cooking the books on this one for some time now, and we finally have enough false data for me to respond."

Global Warming can cause severe temperature drops; snowfall; and freezing ice storms. Makes perfect sense. /sarc

No, Al - it’s the PSEUDOscientific community that’s been addressing it.

Its a very convenient argument. If it snows its because of Global Warming. If it doesn't snow it because of Global Warming.

Be careful, lest the God Algore strike you dead for your blasphemy.

Notice he doesn’t say scientists predicted the blizzards (they didn’t). Just that heavy snowfall is consistent with what they predicted. Which makes me wonder what wouldn’t be consistent their predictions.

and of course, liberal oreilly, who doesn’t bother to get his facts straight before itnerviews, didn’t challenge gore because he didn’t know how to challenge him with anythign other than speculative rantings, and so viewers were left confused about the issue and wonderign if man really is to blame when oreilly, had he doen his homework, could have sent al gore out hte door with his tail tucked between his legs, and the viewers with a CLEAR understanding that man is NOT to blame for global warming, and that htose claiming that man is, and making excuses for weather that contradicts the claims, are certifiably NUTS
