It was bound to happen eventually - someone from the global warming movement tying the recent Myanmar cyclone to the so-called climate change phenomenon.
Former Vice President Al Gore in an interview on NPR's May 6 "Fresh Air" broadcast did just that. He was interviewed by "Fresh Air" host Terry Gross about the release of his book, "The Assault on Reason," in paperback.
"And as we're talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated," Gore said. "And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China - and we're seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming."
Gore claimed global warming is forcing ocean temperatures to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes, to intensify - despite the fact meteorologists have explained otherwise.

So it's an autobiography?
What a ghoul.
What a ghoul.
See the other thread
More from the clown who wants to ban the internal combustion engine.
Guess there weren’t cyclones before the industrialized 20th century. Amazing what I can learn listening to algore.
What a disgusting individual Gore is...using the deaths and suffering of hundreds of thousands of people for self-promotion.
I bet the volcanoe spewing a 20 mile high column of ash, smoke, gasses and debris doesn’t affect anything right, OWL.
Perfect title for a Gore autobiography don’t you think..ROFL
Sure am glad Gore lost weight in this pic, it would be backbreaking work hauling his butt around.
You have got to be kidding? Algore actually said that? < /sarc
Oh, guaranteed:
He would “ban” the internal combustion engine, except for government and other “elite” uses.
I INVENTED THE CYCLONE!!!!!
It’s the only turd I’ve ever seen that has a face.
A wonder if the blowhard actually knows he is spewing nonsense and just keeps doing so to get richer off the backs of idiots.
And would we have global warming if gore had not said it was so? I doubt it!
Paperback!!!! What kind of environmentalist is he supposed to be. message to AlGore-—eBooks —Goracle. You invented the internet..use it! and quite killing trees for you personal profit and ego.
Well, he does have several mortgages to pay and it is keeping his name in the media.
Appears to have a rather large food bill too.
Contrary to Gore's misguided rants about increasing ocean temperatures, thanks to posts by Dawnsblood and Flycatcher, the Argo System (ocean temperature probes) has actually showed a slight decrease in ocean temperatures over the last several years.

Al oGre! From online dictionary:
“o·Gre Audio Help [oh-ger] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. a monster in fairy tales and popular legend, usually represented as a hideous giant who feeds on human flesh.
2. a monstrously ugly, cruel, or barbarous person.”
I don't believe in anything anymore. I'm going to law school.
Let me get this straight, If we had bought enough carbon credits, this cyclone would not have happened. Right?
BUMP.
Why does anyone listen to this idiot?
I guess the large number of super storms that have struck the US mainland the last two hurricane seasons was not enough to teach us a lesson. What's next, a late, late season snowstorm and blizzard in the Midwest? Wait, never mind.
BTW, I like how Google has a click to donate to survivors of the cyclone button.
Like I’m gonna send money to a country that one day my job might be outsourced to.
Deadliest storms mostly in Bengal
Storms in the Bay of Bengal account for seven of the 10 deadliest hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones in recorded history, as documented by Weather Underground. The casualty figures are notoriously difficult to pin down, but here is the list:
1. Bhola cyclone, Bangladesh (East Pakistan), 1970. Death toll estimated at 150,000 to 550,000.
2. Hooghly River cyclone, India and Bangladesh, 1737. Death toll: 350,000.
3. Haiphong typhoon, Vietnam, 1881. Death toll: 300,000.
4. Coringa cyclone, India, 1839. Death toll: 300,000.
5. Backerganj cyclone, Bangladesh, 1584. Death toll: 200,000.
6. Great Backerganj Cyclone, Bangladesh, 1876. Death toll: 200,000.
7. Chittagong cyclone, Bangladesh, 1897. Death toll: 175,000.
8. Super Typhoon Nina, China, 1975. Death toll: 171,000.
9. Cyclone 02B, Bangladesh, 1991. Death toll: 140,000.
10. Great Bombay Cyclone, India (from the Arabian Sea), 1882. Death toll: 100,000.

Worldwide food shortages: a ‘Consequence’ of Al Gore eating.
Gosh, it’s hard to believe that Dr. Gore could be wrong as I believe he completed his graduate climatolgy studies at CGNU...or was that the U of WTF?
Thanks for a good laugh...
One thing for sure, though - the cyclone will be good for Al’s business!
Q: What is the difference between the Unabomber and the Goreacle?
A: One is a demented fanatic devoted to the destruction of modern civilization and the other is rotting away in a Supermax prison.
Arf !
(a) He lacks scientific, much less climatologic, credentials.
(b) He is a prevaricator, with a political agenda.
(c) He has a personal financial stake in the claim.
(d) He is intellectually challenged.
(e) All of the above.
If there were no humans, deadly storms wouldn’t exist.
