Fraudster Al Gore: The connection between CO2 and extreme weather is "absolutely" as clear as the connection between smoking and cancer

Al Gore's views on climate change, extreme weather and Keystone XL – full transcript | Environment | guardian.co.uk

[Gore] I think it definitely is a time when more and more people are focused on the extreme weather that has disrupted so many lives. People who have not really devoted a lot of time to thinking about the climate crisis in the past are now saying to their family and friends: "this is clearly a new time. The weather is just not what it used to be"...

[Q] So the connection is as clear as between smoking and cancer?

Absolutely. To extend that analogy to this day you can get to a level of detail in questioning cancer specialists where they can't always say precisely how the cancer is triggered by cigarettes - but they know that it is. They know not only do the ocean feed more energy into storms but that warmer air holds much more water vapour, meaning that when there is a precipitation event either rain or snow much more on average falls at one time. [If that's really true, why would we end up with much more drought?]
...This is the second annual 24 hours of reality ... This one is different from the first one because last year the focus was on explaining the science underlining the connection between climate change and extreme weather events...the scientific method prizes uncertainty and penalises anyone who goes out on any sort of a limb that is not held in place by abundant and well-documented evidence.
...Ninety-seven to 98% of the most published climate scientists agree with the consensus and now mother nature is providing the most undeniable evidence of all.
...
And then rather more quietly they have financed legions of these pseudo-scientific think tanks that are chartered for the specific purpose of creating false doubt... So I think that is one of the probably the single largest cause [of "climate silence"]...

Seek out the best available evidence, examine it and test it in free democratic discourse. Test it against reality, test it against the evidence offered by contrarians. But then apply the rule of reason and, when the weight of evidence is as overwhelming as it is in this case, then act. The truth has a force of its own.
