What could be more predictable? The sun rises in the east, Obama blames all his problems on Bush, and Al Gore surfaces after a storm to pronounce it’s cause: global warming. Take it away, Kerry Picket:

While it did not take long it was expected. Former vice president Al Gore put  out a statement on his blog on Tuesday and blamed the  intensity of Hurricane Sandy on “global warming pollution.” :

The images of Sandy’s flooding brought back memories of a similar–albeit  smaller scale– event in Nashville just two years ago. There, unprecedented  rainfall caused widespread flooding, wreaking havoc and submerging sections of  my hometown. For me, the Nashville flood was a milestone. For many, Hurricane  Sandy may prove to be a similar event: a time when the climate crisis—which is  often sequestered to the far reaches of our everyday awareness became a  reality.

While the storm that drenched Nashville was not a tropical cyclone like  Hurricane Sandy, both storms were strengthened by the climate crisis. Scientists  tell us that by continually dumping 90 million tons of global warming pollution  into the atmosphere every single day, we are altering the environment in which  all storms develop. As the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, storms are  becoming more energetic and powerful. Hurricane Sandy, and the Nashville flood,  were reminders of just that. Other climate-related catastrophes around the world  have carried the same message to hundreds of millions.

Gore concluded at the end of his blog that “dirty energy makes dirty  weather.”:

And green energy that doesn’t work, but has enriched Gore to the tune of nearly a hundred million dollars, makes clean weather. Or something. More here.
