Former Vice President Al Gore blamed global warming for the devastating natural disasters in the Philippines and northeastern U.S. in a Politico interview published Friday. The extensive interview, in which Gore calls himself a "recovering politician" and declines to rule out a Presidential run in 2016, also focuses heavily on Gore's thoughts on efforts to combat climate change.
Gore said he thinks the world is nearing a "tipping point" in which there would be "shared resolve" to decrease the use of fossil fuels worldwide. He also said that, if steps are taken now, some "catastrophic" events might be avoided. But he also made sure to cite global warming as the cause of other recent high-profile natural disasters:
Whats already been happening? Super Typhoon Haiyan, when it came across the Pacific headed to the Philippines, it was more than 3 degrees Celsius warmer than normal in the Pacific. When Sandy came across the areas of the Atlantic just windward from Manhattan and New Jersey, it was 9 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal."
Gore predicted in the same interview that "hundreds of millions of climate refugees" could be created if action isn't taken soon. The article notes, however, that Gore's own advocacy group has drastically scaled down its operations in terms of personnel and tone. Instead of showing power points that dramatically forecast an increase in natural disasters, Gore's "Climate Reality project" now offers a more casual presentation that warns that uncurbed carbon pollution will lead to "poorer quality beer and underwater golf courses in Florida and Hawaii."
So what are this moronic gasbag’s credentials that make him qualified to make such an absurd statement? Just being a moronic gasbag politician isn’t enough.
He only opens his mouth to switch feet.
Light a fart al,,, and blow your brains out.
Gore is entitled to go through life as ignorant as he wants to be, but he shouldn’t try to impose his ignorance on the rest of us.....
I wonder how could be keeps his mega-mansion in the summer.

Morons surround us.
Global Warming? I thought we were calling it Climate Change now.
Makes stuff up, claims it’s fact and becomes a billionaire. I wish I had known that was possible.
I too think Gore is an idiot. But, if we're so smart, how come he's the one that's filthy rich?
Seems like every weather anomaly worldwide is blamed on global warming. What a joke.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
If a comet hit the Earth, Al Gore would blame man made global warming.
I mean really, just 6 months ago we were hearing about how the polar bears were in danger because the arctic ice was vanishing! NOW, we hear that the polar bears are in danger because of TOO much arctic ice!!!! All due to man made global warming and climate change! You can’t make this stuff up.
That stuff is really caused by the butterfly effect of his smelly out gassings.
