Gore unilaterally changed the hurricane scale

Even more power than almost becoming president?

I hear the volume on Al Gore’s radio goes all the way up to eleven.

Speaking of getting it wrong, has the NOAA ever gotten it right with their fearmongering hurricane predictions every year?

If you look at superstorm Sandy on October 29th, the ocean water east of New Jersey was nine degrees fahrenheit above average. That’s what put so much more energy into that storm. That’s what put so much more water vapor into that storm. Would there be a storm anyway? Maybe so. Would there be hurricanes and floods and droughts without man-made global warming? Of course. But they’re stronger now. The extreme events are more extreme. The hurricane scale used to be 1-5 and now they’re adding a 6. The fingerprint of man-made global warming is all over these storms and extreme weather events.

Sandy wasn't even technically a hurricane at landfall. And its winds at landfall were low Cat 1. What made Sandy damaging was its size and timing and angle of approach to the coast.

No need for a Cat 6. Heck, we haven't even had a Cat 3 hit the mainland US for years.

A ‘goof’ is an innocent mistake. Gore is a demagogue, and this is his pet cause. ‘Goof’ is too kind a term.

What Gore should invent is a new hardness scale like Moh's, except for what you get from prostitutes giving you a massage.

His psuedonym was Mr. Stone for a reason.

“A Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) expert says Al Gore goofed during his widely circulated Washington Post interview on global warming.”

Nonsense! Gore didn’t goof, he LIED, lying is the only thing the Gore family excels at.

...scientists have high confidence that sea level will rise all over the world, and particularly fast in some areas like the East Coast.

So sea level is different in different places?

“He deserves great praise for these Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning efforts ...,” wrote UCS's Gretchen Goldman in a blog post Thursday about Gore’s remarks.

Talk about getting it wrong.

Please, please post this, Mods…A question for all scientists, including those with the UCS…

When, in the history of earth, has the climate ever been static? Was it when the Arctic icecap was as far south as Indiana? Ya know, the icecap that formed the Great Lakes, and tens of thousand glacial lakes, that have the best fishing in North America?

Just when was the climate static?

That almost up there with Al's Nov 2009 bit of wisdom:

"...two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ..."
