I SWEAR I'm not making this up!
Al Gore is saying what, in all truth, global warming wackos have been saying for a long time: Man-caused global warming is responsible for severe snowstorms.

"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."
Hotter temperatures cause more snowfall?
This is the problem with the global warming theory, actually. In their fervent efforts to make the theory "work" with real-life results, they have made it into a non-falsifiable hypothesis. Don't know what that is? Allow me to elucidate.
A non-falsifiable hypothesis is one that predicts such a wide range of results that the hypothesis itself becomes meaningless and ANYTHING can be viewed as proof. Don't think global warming qualifies? Let's see.
In the past, global warming advocates have told us that global warming can cause hotter and colder temperatures, droughts and floods, too much and too little snowfall, and both rising and falling sea levels.
I kid you not, they actually claim that global warming causes LOWER temperatures!
At this point, the "theory" of man-caused global warming is useless, because no matter what weather we see, advocates can claim it was caused by global warming. This means the theory cannot be disproved... and that's sort of the underlying test of any REAL scientific theory.
The "theory" cannot be disproved, simply because it has been stretched to show that ANY weather result, no matter what it is, is caused by global warming. At this point, it is non-falsifiable, and therefore worthless.
It IS entertaining, though, to hear these guys try to tell us that "global warming" causes terrible snowstorms, isn't it? One wonders how they can keep a straight face telling us that water is actually quite dry.
UPDATE: Below is a link to the MANY things that global warning believers have blamed on global warming. That list includes, but is not limited to: acne, antarctic ice shrinks, antarctic ice grows, asteroid strike risk, asthma, Atlantic ocean more salty, Atlantic ocean less salty, beer tasting better, beer tasting worse, and the beginning of a new ice age. I'm not kidding with the last, they've actually claimed that GLOBAL WARMING may cause a new ICE AGE.

It IS entertaining!!!
Yeah, more or less. But the more often they explain how higher global temperatures can cause LOWER temperatures, the more people realize how ridiculous the whole thing is.
ReplyDeleteThe "non-falsifiable hypothesis" used by global warming theorists reminds me of the process sometimes known as "retroactive clairvoyance" that critics of Nostradamus's predictions say those who believe in his predictions use.
