Al Gore Claims Global Warming is to Blame for Myanmar Cyclone

It was only a matter of time before we heard this from Al Gore. Al Gore is now claiming that global warming is responsible for the cyclone in Myanmar. Al Gore should be ashamed of himself for trying to politicize a tragedy like this cyclone for his own personal benefit. At least people are starting to realize Al Gore for who and what he is, as can be seen in the first paragraph of the above linked article.

Using tragedy to advance an agenda has been a strategy for many global warming activists, and it was just a matter of time before someone found a way to tie the recent Myanmar cyclone to global warming. Former Vice President Al Gore in an interview on NPR’s May 6 “Fresh Air” broadcast did just that.

That is precisely what Al Gore is doing here, using a tragedy to push his agenda. An agenda that puts millions of dollars in his pocket by the way. Here is how he tried to spin a natural tragedy into a human caused event:

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. Gore claimed global warming is forcing ocean temperatures to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes, to intensify.

But ih his next breath he seemed to try to cover his tracks.

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.”

He is hedging his bets there. While he claims that this storm is linked to global warming, he is admitting that individual storms can’t be directly linked to global warming. He is sitting on both sides of the fence. You can’t have it both ways Al. He seems to be starting to back off because of more and more scientists who are voicing their global warming scepticism even as he is blaming global warming for the storm.

Cyclones are an act of nature, they are not a political issue. But Al Gore and other global warming alarmists are trying to turn this into a political issue for their own gain. It is time to wake up and stop this scam before we are taxed to the gills on this bogus hoax.
