The debate is not if the world is warming or cooling as that has been going on from the day the planet was formed. It's what causes these changes which are at question. When you think about it what has caused all the temperature changes the planet has experienced. What caused the ice age as an example? But this time around they point the finger at green house gasses, and that has not been a proven fact. And many have made a ton of money pointing at green house gasses as the cause.

So the jury is still out on what is causing this global warming if in fact it is even occurring

Right, global warming is occurring, but the debate is still ongoing over how much man has anything to do with it and what, if anything, we can do to contribute less to it if we are.

So, it's foolish for Al Gore and some of the left to suddenly jump up and blame these storms on global warming (and he obviously means man-made global warming specifically). However, it's also foolish for some on the right to belittle global warming and pretend like it doesn't exist or display their ignorance by not understanding how storms work. Al Gore saying "Man is responsible for this!" is equally as silly as saying "If it's called global warming, why is it snowing so much!?"
