Al Gore says that the cyclone in Myanmar is a result of global warming. He told NPR yesterday:

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. 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.

more...

And the cult of global warming continues....

Third world tragedy and suffering serve only to enrich Al Gore.
I wonder how many concerts will he promote to aid those who suffer?

Al Gore is an idiot!

As soon as I heard about the cyclone I knew he would blame global warming.

Of course it might because they've been sitting on the kitchen counter for 2 weeks waiting for that last killer cold spell that should have gone thru here long before now. ....Nawh, it's Bush's fault.

It's just easier to blame Bush.  And I suspect the DUmmies will be bitching about him for the next 10-20 years, no matter who is President.

Global warming is Nirvana for libs as it can be blamed for everything,even that which is contradictory to other events,so can never really be proven.
It is a red herring attack on capitalism and Algore knows full well the idiocy of his flock.
It is a money maker to him and all the academics that are feeding at the public trough.

Environmentalists' Wild Predictions
By Walter E. Williams
Wednesday, May 7, 2008


Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let's look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget.

At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, "The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, "The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed." In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich's predictions about England were gloomier: "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

In 1972, a report was written for the Club of Rome warning the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury and silver by 1985, tin by 1987 and petroleum, copper, lead and natural gas by 1992. Gordon Taylor, in his 1970 book "The Doomsday Book," said Americans were using 50 percent of the world's resources and "by 2000 they [Americans] will, if permitted, be using all of them." In 1975, the Environmental Fund took out full-page ads warning, "The World as we know it will likely be ruined by the year 2000."

Harvard University biologist George Wald in 1970 warned, "... civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind." That was the same year that Sen. Gaylord Nelson warned, in Look Magazine, that by 1995 "... somewhere between 75 and 85 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct."

HOT - COLD - HOT - COLD
