with normal weather patterns. So why is he saying it at all?
If anything, Gore hurts his "cause" with such silly nonsense.
Is that better?

Al Gore blames recent storm on global warming
?The odds have shifted toward much larger downpours,? Gore said. ?And we have seen that happen in the Northeast, we?ve seen it happen in the Northwest ? in both of those regions are among those that scientists have predicted for a long time would begin to experience much larger downpours.?
But Gore had a specific example in mind. He explained this recent soaking in the Northeastern United States was ?consistent? with what global warming alarmists were projecting.
?Just look at what has been happening for the last three days,? Gore said. ?The so-called skeptics haven?t noted it because it?s not snow. But the downpours and heavy winds are consistent with what the scientists have long warned about.?

We've had weather before. It's not unusual. There have been much worse storms in the past. Does he have even the tiniest shred of evidence connecting last weekend's storm to global warming?

It would delete your reply. No problem, I just wanted to check.

as far as I can tell, the climate has been the same all that time. He's talking about weather and saying it's consistent with climate change, but I don't think so.
Look, if cold winters are irrelevant then so is one rain storm. We have had downpours before. It rains a lot in the spring here every year. Al Gore is NOT a scientist and it doesn't look to me like he has a very good understanding of science methods either.
