Former Vice President Al Gore has weighed in on the record cold and snow in the U.S. "It's bitter cold in parts of the US, but climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann explains that's exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis," Gore wrote on January 4 on Twitter.
In the Gore touted article, Mann linked the cold and "lots of snow" to "climate change."
Gore's Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth did not warn of record cold and increasing snowfalls as a consequence of man-made global warming. And as recently as 2009, Gore was hyping the lack of snow as evidence for man-made global warming.

Other climate activists warned of less cold and snow as well.
But as the snow piled up, the climate change claims were adjusted and cold and snow were added to the list of things caused by "global warming." See: Warmists Wheel Out "Record Cold Due To Global Warming" Argument Again In 2010, Gore claimed "increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with... man-made global warming."
Predictions of less snow and less severe winters were hammered into the public by global warming scientists. But once that predictions failed to come true, the opposite of what they predicted instead became-what they expected.
Reality Check: But scientists are not buying the claims of Gore and Mann and others linking the record cold and snow to "global warming."
'Insanity...It's Witchcraft' - Meteorologist Joe Bastardi on claims that cold & snow caused by 'global warming' - WeatherBell Meteorologist Joe Bastardi on January 4, 2018: "This is flat out insanity and deception now To tell the public that events that have occurred countless times before with no climate change attribution, is now just that, is not science, its witchcraft. NO PROOF AT ALL. Its climate ambulance chasing, nothing more."
Bastardi added: "This has happened countless times before and it wasn't global warming then and is not now. Solid use of past patterns predicted major early cold from OCTOBER! I have tweeted that dozens of times showing the analog years I used, No co2 then."
Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. also weighed in, explaining: "For those who claim USA/Canada nor'easter is stronger because of 'global warming', they apparently do not realize that it's so strong because of especially strong horizontal temperature gradient in troposphere. It 'bombed' because of usually cold air!"
Polar vortex or impending ice age?
Truth and reality don't matter in the short term.
Over the years, Al Gore and his co-conspirators have done a magnificent job of convincing millions of gullibles of the correctness of the AGW religion and also of enlisting large numbers of politicians of all stripes into the extortion scheme.
Wealth extraction is the name of the game and they all intend to get as much as they can until the scam collapses. So long as they can dodge and weave with BS explanations and "restatements" that continue to be accepted by the gullible, the extraction scheme can continue.
Only when the debunking of the AGW (and its many renamings) lie is finally accepted by the morons who bought into it in the first place will the wealth extraction cease. However, by then, the scammers and their accomplices will have siphoned off untold billions or trillions for their own benefit.
People are still walking around in cognitive dissonance and refuse to let loose of the global warming hoax. Just watch, the GW set will start harking that they were, in fact, predicting global ice age all along and their mindless minions will forget all about the warmer aspects of the hoax and just remember how Al and Company really were predicting ice age all along.
Once they went from Global Warming to Climate Change that essentially opens the door to any weather anomaly being part of the 'problem'. A never ending circle that will never end.
Nothing is ever weather any longer. Everything is DOOM!!! In 1983, we had icebergs off of Oak ST beach in Chicago (Lake Michigan - fun to watch from our balcony festooned with icicles). In 1967, we had "the Great Blizzard" which I personally found fun seeing my mother was dragging me about on a sled as we went to the grocery store, etc + older kids were building igloos right along State ST in front of the old A&P. The good ole times when frigid winters in the Northern latitudes was seen as NORMAL.
