Clinton Rides Gore Global Warming Tailcoats

June 12th, 2006 7:58 PM

At a fundraiser (the only place you'll likely find a Clinton in an election year) Bill Clinton told how he and Al Gore "were right about global warming" to a crowd shouting "four more years." It is undertermined why the crowd, ignorant of the 22nd Amendment, wants four more years of doing nothing about global warming.

In the short Associated Press article by Brendan Farrington, he writes: "as Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida..." What he fails to mention is that:

  • 10 hurricanes per year is normal, and Florida is the biggest target. In 1933, there were 21 hurricanes, apparently this was the height of global warming.
  • "Global warming" actually causes hurricanes to be less powerful.
  • In 1965, there was a decrease in hurricanes, at the time scientists claimed this was because of the coming "global cooling."
