That's actually true, though. But, Al Gore is still a complete schmuck and does more harm than help when it comes to the global warming debate. He's to global warming as Sarah Palin is to the Republican party. A much better article, written by an actual scientist and not some has been politician trying to hypocritically make money can be found here: Monster snowstorms still spell global warming - CNN.com As an actual scientist, and not some douche that spouts random nonsense about something he obviously doesn't understand every time he wants to get back in the spotlight for five minutes, this scientist recognizes that we can't really ultimately prove what the reason behind the storms are, but we can narrow it down to some pretty good educated guesses. Yes, global warming is one of them, but since this scientist isn't doing a terribly unconvincing job of pushing an agenda and selling books and movies while slowly starting to look more and more like a bizarro world version of George Lucas as he ages, he's not going to jump to conclusions.
