Al Gore the Science Guy

POSTED: Wednesday, February 2, 2011, 1:22 PM

For some reason it's a lot easier to say a guy is fat, or whatever, than admit that he's right:

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:

"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.”

"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.”

This has been another edition of simple answers to Bill O'Reilly's simple questions.

News flash - it hss always snowed in the winter and been hot in the summer way before records were kept documenting such things. Weather is an ever evolving part of nature. These are the two biggest snow years in recent history. I remember the 3 years before this one it very rarely snowed. But i guess the snow will stop now that we banend the villian causing global warming - the incandescent light bulb. Atleast the Chinese economy will grow by this innovation form the new job czar at GE, who by the way is closing the GE lighbulb plants. Anyone who puts Al Gore up there as a poster kid for anything needs their head examined. This is the same Al Gore who inbented the internet and was discovered to be a BIG time energy user and abuser even after that stupid movie he made came out.

Al Gore is a FRAUD of epic proportions!!!! How much money has this crook made off the Global Warming Hoax! So Al, let’s get this right: If it snows = proof of global warming; If it doesn’t snow = proof of global warming; and you cash monster checks at your palatial mansion on the Santa Barbara beach; The same beach you said would be UNDERWATER in your movie! Wow, are you sheep democrats who believe in this stupid!

Well, we can equally discount the Beck/O'Reilly equation of "If it snows" = "proof that global warming is a hoax". Whatever the truth turns out to be once we understand it all better, is it possible that the science is a little more complicated than "it's snowing tons!" or "it hasn't snowed in years?"

so, let me fully understand this.....Al and his ilk predict weather will either get hotter, colder, both or neither....and that is proof of "being right". Ah yes....geez folks!

This is pure and simple biologic variations being peddled as a cause - and to snub O'Reilly. Nice try.

I predict that my 401k will either lose or make money this year because of Wall Street misdeeds. Can I get my Nobel now?

Out of the last 10,000 years, 9,000 of them were hotter than any of the last ten years.

The guys at East Anglia Univ.,the Mecca or Vatican of the global warming hoaxsters,said in March 2000 that because of global warming snow would a rare and festive event and children in temperate zones could grow up never having seen snow. These guys couldn't find their rear end with both hands a flashlight and a map. Global warming is a fraud.Follow the money-hint for libs: Algore.

Back in 2002, liberals were warning us how a lack of snow during the winter was a sign of global warming.

What do you expect from simpletons who can't fathom the concept of a global change and the vast unexpected consequences that could occur? You're talking about a group who think the bible is fact, that the earth is 6K years old. Newtonian law is so far beyond their grasp that to expect understanding is useless. Taking their twisted logic, I'm surprised they don't believe you can have a fever AND the chills, after all it's the same dopey concept.

even joe bastardi (who might know more than algore) made fun of him today. let's see algore flies around in his g5 lives in his two mansions and tells us WE need to drive electric cars. of course good luck with that when the power goes out in a storm like it did last night. algore loser
