Mmm, actually, the newest unemployment numbers will likely be massaged into the storm story. Seems their unexpectedly up again, which is so strange because we bought all that government debt with monopoly money just the way we were supposed to. Yep, its gotta be the storms.

The Soviet Union was always cursed with cold winters (imagine that, cold winters in the Ukraine) causing poor grain harvests. Yep, if it weren't for cold winters their collectivist economy could've just chugged along quite nicely.

What, are you in grade school?

Did Al Gore, as a teenager, predict the 1953 tornado that killed 92 people in central Massachusetts?

Or the 1972 outbreak that killed over 300?

Al always comes up with witty things while putting around on his 100 ft houseboat.

We got another 2 feet of global warming in the mountains last night. And a record cold spring.

I thought weather was not climate, now weather is climate??

BTW, greenhouse gas emissions dropped at the same time you say al Gore claimed they caused these storms:

That’s a message from the Environmental Protection Agency’s annual inventory of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, released Monday. The agency said overall emissions of the six main gases associated with climate change – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride – dropped by 6.1% from 2008 levels. The EPA said 2009 greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6.6 billion metric tons, the lowest level since 1995.

Silver Lining? Recession Cuts Greenhouse Gases - Washington Wire - WSJ

So weather is now climate and lowering greenhouse gas emissions causes stronger storms. Got it! Any other new epicycles for this man-made global warming hoax that you guys want to add?

Weather patterns are cyclical. We are experiencing storm cycles seen in the 1970's according to meteorology reports. I'm quite certain Al Gore does not own the La Nina pressing down which resulted in this most recent supercell across the South and East coast.

The OP's lack of concern for victims and political cheerleading for the religion of global warming is disturbing at best.
