Al Gore’s latest global whopper
We’ve addressed some of the problems of Al Gore’s tear-jerking opinion piece in Sunday’s New York Times. Tuesday Alan Reynolds of the NY Post fact-checked what he says is the biggest whopper of Al’s lies. Here’s Reynolds:
Gore wrote, “The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States.”
It’s an interesting theory, but where are the facts?
According to “State of the Climate” from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “Global precipitation in 2009 was near the 1961-1990 average.” And there was certainly no pattern of increasing rain and snow on America’s East Coast during the post-1976 years, when NOAA says the globe began to heat up.
So what was it, exactly, that Gore’s nameless scientists “have long pointed out”? A 2008 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, “Climate Change and Water,” says climate models “project precipitation increases in high latitudes and part of the tropics.” In other areas, the IPCC reports only “substantial uncertainty in precipitation forecasts.”
In other words, the IPCC said that its models predicted some increases in rain or snow — not observed them. And only in high latitudes or the tropics, which hardly describes New York or Washington, DC.
In fact, recent research actually contradicts Gore’s claims about “significantly more water moisture in the atmosphere.”

Which ever way you look at this, it only reinforces that ,if there was a warming trend ,the more it warms , the more the earth fights back with increased precipitation, thus increased cooling.
Isn’t the world short of fresh water?
Manbearpig does not lie. Ever! Except when he’s going to make money out of a scam like man-made global warming caused catastrophic climate change.
Hopefully, manbearpig will be the first extinction.
Rule no.1
NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM ANYONE WITH A FINANCIAL INTEREST
I seriously doubt if there is another individual which stands to gain as much financially as manbearpig – er, Al Gore. Never mind the additional kudos he’s recently picked up is enough motivation for his scamming.

The honourable Al in the op-ed in NYT also tells us: “the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer. ”
If I have that right, then the man-made CO2 adds up to in excess of 32 gigatons per year on my calculator. Or about 5 times what is generally accepted as the human activities annual contribution – approx. 6 gigatons.
Then again, I am only an engineer. And my country did not give me the NPP. Yet.
This is just one of Gorebull’s homes.
