Al Gore: Superstorm Sandy Caused By Global Warming

By Lee Hernly in news, science No Comments Tags: , , , ,

In the movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ Al Gore claimed scientists had been giving warnings that hurricanes will get stronger because of ‘global warming.’ This has been proven false as there has been no change in the strength of hurricanes over the past 60+ years, even though hydrocarbon use went up six-fold in the same period.

Now he says Superstrom Sandy was caused by global warming even though has has no evidence whatsoever to back that claim up as many scientists point out.

In other words, Al Gore lies again.

Former Vice President Al Gore said late last week that there is no doubt that Superstorm Sandy was related to global warming, and people need to stop and think about what is happening to the planet.

As WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported, speaking last week Gore said flatly of Sandy, “This storm was related to global warming.”

Gore said “dirty energy causes dirty weather,” and people need to think about the consequences of pollution.

“We’re putting 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every single day; spewing it up there as if the atmosphere of the planet is an open sewer, free to use, free of charge, just put as much junk up there are you want to,” he said.

Gore criticized the federal government – Congress in particular – for failing to take action on global warming.

Al Gore Blames Hurricane Sandy On Global Warming

Considering that the East Coast has been experiencing lower than normal temperatures this fall, this statement is idiotic to say the least.

Al Gore said Tuesday that Hurricane Sandy is a “disturbing sign of things to come” in a warming world and should prompt action to curb greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.

“We must heed this warning and act quickly to solve the climate crisis. Dirty energy makes dirty weather,” the former vice president said in a statement on his website.

Gore cited Sandy, which slammed ashore late Monday, and smaller-scale flooding in his hometown of Nashville two years ago, noting “both storms were strengthened by the climate crisis.”

“Scientists tell us that by continually dumping 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every single day, we are altering the environment in which all storms develop. As the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, storms are becoming more energetic and powerful,” he said.

Al Gore Lies About Patrick Murray (Video)

Al Gore, former Vice President, and noted global warming activist, took to the microphone at last weekend’s Jim Moran fundraiser and spoke about Patrick Murray and what Mr. Murray stands for as far as environmental issues. Mr. Gore said Patrick Murray was for “more fossil fuels…more drilling…more carbon pollution.”

This is a lie.

But, we shouldn’t be surprised seeing as how Jim Moran lied at last week’s debate in Reston. Mr. Moran also lied at the June kickoff of his re-election campaign where he said his opponent (Mr. Murray) wants ‘to shoot illegal immigrants.’

All one has to do is look on Mr. Murray’s website to find out that is far from the truth (emphasis mine):

ENERGY “And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as president: In 10 years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East.” — President Barack Obama

I support President Obama’s goal to wean America off of OPEC oil. Unfortunately after two years in office, the Obama Administration has not really done much toward accomplishing this goal, and there are few members of Congress who have any interest in looking beyond how to get themselves reelected. In fact, presidents and Congress have been taking about this for about 30 years (my opponent Jim Moran has been present for 20 of those years. He is very successful when it comes to getting reelected, but he has done nothing to improve America’s energy situation).

I want to help this President accomplish this goal, so we need a plan and we need to get busy. The U.S. uses approximately 21 million barrels of oil per day. Of that amount, 13 million barrels are imported, 5 million barrels of which are from OPEC. Not only is this an unprecedented transference of wealth, it is also a national security issue, as this ends up funding Islamic extremists and renders our energy supply vulnerable to events in the volatile Middle East. To put it slightly differently, we are funding both sides of the war while making us much more vulnerable to events and decisions in the Middle East by hostile regimes such as Iran. We need a comprehensive national strategy that will accomplish the following:

• Near Term: Eliminate American reliance on OPEC oil and put us on a glide path to energy self-sufficiency. In 2008, our reliance on foreign oil amounted to over $405 billion leaving our pockets for foreign markets. Think of the massive growth in our economy were we to keep that revenue here. While weaning ourselves from foreign oil, we will be creating jobs here at home, reducing the price of gas at the pump and choking off revenue streams the terrorists rely upon to fund their attacks on us. This is a “win-win” situation regardless of which political party you are in.

• Long Term: Empower the private sector to develop large scale renewable energy solutions. As Americans who believe in the power of the free market, we have the ability to accomplish anything we set our minds to. However, if we really do care about future generations of Americans, we need to learn to look beyond the next election cycle when it comes to long-term strategic planning. This is particularly true when it comes to alternate sources of energy. It is in U.S. national interests to pursue multiple sources of energy.

As your Congressman my Energy priorities will be:

• Near Term: Pursue American energy independence from OPEC by maximizing our own oil and gas exploration. Set annual goals of reducing the number of barrels of oil we import, so that by 2018 (President Obama’s stated goal) we no longer will need to import any OPEC oil. One viable way to do this quickly would be to maximize our own domestic exploration and to increase our use of natural gas. The U.S. has vast natural gas reserves, and gas is both cheaper and burns cleaner than oil.

• Long Term: Incentivize the private sector to invest in and develop the technology and infrastructure necessary to maximize our use of wind, solar and nuclear energy. Also, incentivize homeowners and the owners of commercial buildings to upgrade their insulation and other energy saving options. Set national goals of gradually increasing our energy supply from clean sources. For example, in 2008, nuclear power accounted for about 20% of the total net electricity generated in the United States. By contrast, France currently generates over 75% of its energy from nuclear power. We should strive to build an average of two new nuclear power plants every year here in the U.S. Also, we only get about 2% of our energy from solar and wind. We should pursue these renewable sources on a larger scale. As our ability to employ these sources increases we can concurrently reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Does that sound like someone who’s for “more fossil fuels…more drilling…more carbon pollution?”

Frankly, one would think Lowell over at Blue Virginia would do a little research before posting some of the crap he does. The Other McCain has more information including the origin of the video.

If you are tired of people like Congressman Moran and Al Gore lying to you, support Patrick Murray for Congress so Congress can get something done.

Global Warming? What Global Warming?

By admin in Uncategorized No Comments Tags: , , ,

First, the Farmer’s Almanac forecasted global cooling to continue:

Most of the country will see a colder-than-usual winter while summer and spring will be relatively cool and dry, according to the time-honored, complex calculations of the “Old Farmer’s Almanac.”

The 2011 issue of the almanac, which claims to be the nation’s oldest continuously published periodical, was released Tuesday. It predicts that in the coming months, the Earth will continue to see a “gradual cooling of the atmosphere … offset by any warming caused by increased greenhouse gases.”

The “Old Farmer’s Almanac” also is forecasting a weak La Nina — a climate phenomenon marked by an unusual cooling of the sea surface in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

Janice Stillman, editor of the almanac, said that means much of the eastern half of the United States will experience lower-than-normal temperatures with less snow while Mid-Atlantic states will see more snowfall than usual. The West will see a mild winter with average precipitation, she said.

Meanwhile, the South will experience a cold and wet summer and the Rockies should see a mild and dry winter, according to the New Hampshire-based “Old Farmer’s Almanac.”

“It’ll be cold. There will be no mistaking winter,” Stillman said. “But it may be a little shorter or we may see some small warm spells in places like the East Coast.”…

I guess this means that we here in Virginia should ready ourselves for Smowmageddon II?

Now this, solar physicists believe that sunspots on the sun’s surface are declining and may disappear altogether. In other words, global cooling will continue.

“Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades. The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age.”

I may have to bust out my long underwear this year. It’s gonna be cold and snowy.
