How many cyclones have there been in history to make this claim? 2, 3..? It sure cannot be many...

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it
politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Lets ask Al, he knows all.
He has been proven a liar & still, there are those that believe every word that slithers out of his gob. If a Dem gets the WH, you can bet we'll be paying for C02. Paying for the air we breathe!!
PS, in this election, that goes for a repub in the WH too.

What are they not blaming global warming for these days? The following is the complete list of things caused by global warming.

knowing how it happened ~

Snow in July in Key West is also explained by GW. Seriously, movies have been made that claim GW causes ice ages.

"Junk science" at it's best. Al isn't any where near close to science but he sure knows how to make melting ice caps slide into the water, in a computer generated way, that is. His Acadummy reward movie has been proven to have used computer generated scenes in his "Inconviement Truth" fakeumentary.

Default Re: Al Blames Burma Cyclone On....

I have no political objections to combating pollution but I do have serious objections to the halfassed political solutions being offered. Sensible alternatives would include:

A 10 billion dollar prize for a super conductor stable upto 100 degrees F and capable of being turned into transmission lines costing no more than 4 times as much per foot than existing lines. I do not have the figures for transmission losses but I would be amazed if payback for rewiring the electrical grid north of the Rio Grade would exceed 4 years. I would also be amazed if it took more than 5 years for the prize to be won. Once that prize was announced energy prices would immediately start dropping. In 15 years or less oil and coal would be effectively worthless except as chemical stock. (5 years to win the prize, 4 years to get into mass production and 6 years for change out.)

A similar prize for fusion plants.

A much smaller prize for better batteries to run cars and small trucks say 500 miles between recharges (currently the Tesla is good for 240 miles.)

That would reduce household energy expenses by maybe 75%, including indirect benefits that would add at least 2 trillion to GDP.

Al Gore Blames Global Warming For Myanmar Cyclone ? Bob’s Bites
I tried to track this back to the original just to see if this was a case of Al Gore standing on a soapbox proclaiming "The end is nigh!" or (more likely) someone saying "Do you think Global climate change is a factor in this severe weather"

Talk about a game of "Chinese Whispers" The blog you linked to actually took the information from a site called "ICECAP" whose "Experts read like a who's who of Exxon Mobil lobbyists.ICECAP - SourceWatch

But even THAT site is not the origin of this story no we had to go to "Business and Media Institute"
Business & Media Institute - SourceWatch
NOT exactly a "Friend of Al Gore" or even unbiased when in comes to global warming science

So let us see what BMI maintains Gore said
Quote:
“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.”


<snip>
“It’s also important to note that the emerging consensus among the climate scientists is although any individual storm can’t be linked singularly to global warming – we’ve always had hurricanes,” Gore said. “Nevertheless, the trend toward more Category 5 storms – the larger ones and trend toward stronger and more destructive storms appears to be linked to global warming and specifically to the impact of global warming on higher ocean temperatures in the top couple of hundred feet of the ocean, which drives convection energy and moisture into these storms and makes them more powerful.”

Al Gore Calls Myanmar Cyclone a 'Consequence' of Global Warming

So how was that morphed in your linked blog
Quote:
Gore claimed global warming is forcing ocean temperatures to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes, to intensify.
Al Gore Blames Global Warming For Myanmar Cyclone Bob’s Bites

It is the very underhanded disingenuous more than the easily found money trail leading back to big oil and the tobacco industry that makes me so cynical about these so called "sceptics".

This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus on his mother’s side. I did not laugh; people who boast of ancestry often have little else to sustain them. Humoring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in a world in which happiness is always in short supply.

R. A. Heinlein

At present, the internet allows one to claim anything, relationship to royalty, physical attributes and expertise they do not have...........
