Gore balks at lack of climate-change rhetoric in political campaign - Boston environmental policy | Examiner.com
Gore has repeatedly claimed that weather isn't climate (especially during particularly frigid winters), except when it suits his agenda. He points to this summer's unusual heat wave and drought which is affecting less than half of the contiguous United States. The heat wave is also not a global phenomenon.
World Climate Report » Hansen Is Wrong
In his recent press blitz, NASA’s James Hansen tries to tie extreme weather events, such the current drought affecting much of the central U.S., to anthropogenic global warming. But the real world argues otherwise.

Hansen is quite adept at timing global warming pronouncements with extreme weather events.
No Ice At Barrow? | Real Science
The Arctic rowers stuck at Barrow are complaining that the ice-free claims they are being told are incorrect. There is lots of ice blocking Barrow now, and it is not showing up in anyone’s maps – other than Environment Canada.

The fraudsters at the University of Bremen think the Arctic is almost ice free.

The WCR article is incorrect. It assumes that its possible judge drought conditions by comparing the temperature with rainfall over the whole of the US. That was never possible even before climate change came along. The US is so big, that some areas can suffer droughts while others areas are experiencing floods. Ironically, climate change means some areas have heavier downpours while other areas experience less rain. A hotter climate means allows more water to be absorbed by the troposphere, leading to more latent heat being released when clouds are formed, this drives faster convection, leading to heavier downpours. After such heavy rain, the subsiding air is much drier. The subsiding air often comes down in a different place than the downpour. That is basic meteorology. I don’t know how WCR managed to get it so wrong.
