Who said global warming was the only cause of hurricanes?

Imagine that - you mean it's not all "global warming"?

Nah - can't be - that doesn't fit the Al Gore Model of Doom.

Sure it does. Where did Al Gore say that global warming was the only
cause of hurricanes?

I'm not an expert on any of this but I'm pretty sure that Al Gore has
never said that global warming was even A cause of hurricanes.

Of course not, but the right wing just has to spin it into something
it's not. Then blame it on the dems. Just like in the beginning, Tom
eluded that someone said that ALL hurricanes were caused by global
warming, which is pure bull****.

"For a long time, the scientists have been telling us global warming
increases the temperature of the top layer in the ocean, and that
causes the average hurricane to become a lot stronger. So, the fact
that the ocean temperatures did go up because of global warming,
because of man-made global warming, starting around in the seventies
and then we had a string of unusually strong hurricanes outside the
boundaries of this multi-decadal cycle that is a real factor; there
are scientists who point that out, and they're right, but we're
exceeding those boundaries now."

"What changed in the US after Katrina was a feeling that we have
entered a period of consequences"


Exactly, thanks for posting this passage that shows you realize that
your original statement was off the mark. (Gore's point is clearly
that global warming has affected the strength and intensity of
hurricanes, not that it causes them.)
