Remember, keep on repeating the lie often enough and in time, enough fools will believe you. Fox and other global warming deniers are chuckling away, believing that the East Coast snowstorms somehow invalidate the concept of global warming.
Fox News took advantage of today’s East Coast blizzard to prove some point or other about Al Gore on Cavuto this afternoon. Guest host Eric Bolling did color commentary as a copy of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was placed outside Fox News HQ to prove, it seems, that today’s record-breaking snowfall that shut down infrastructure in at least three major cities proves that Gore’s climate change warnings are without merit.
“Poor Al Gore,” Bolling told viewers as the snow piled up around Gore’s book on air. “We should get a camera outside his house.”
See video at end of post. In fact, these record snowstorms are more an indicator of global warming than not.
The 2009 U.S. Climate Impacts Report found that large-scale cold-weather storm systems have gradually tracked to the north in the U.S. over the past 50 years. While the frequency of storms in the middle latitudes has decreased as the climate has warmed, the intensity of those storms has increased. That’s in part because of global warming – hotter air can hold more moisture, so when a storm gathers it can unleash massive amounts of snow.
But as far as winter storms go, shouldn’t climate change make it too warm for snow to fall? Eventually that is likely to happen – but probably not for a while. In the meantime, warmer air could be supercharged with moisture and, as long as the temperature remains below 32°F, it will result in blizzards rather than drenching winter rainstorms.
Burying Gore’s book in a snowbank, while cutesy, only helps in demonstrating Fox’s complete lack of integrity and unwillingness to deal in honest journalism. Unfortunately, they have an audience dumb enough to accept it all ’cause it’s easier to believe what some teevee guy says than actually trying to understand the science behind it all.

Love the artwork and really isn’t Fox the Idiot’s Guide to (fill in the blank).
This is amazing really, I saw the morning crew chuckle about the global warming debacle, completely ignoring what scientists say and completely ignoring that there is a difference (as posted before in another article here) between climate and weather.
