Former Vice President Al Gore believes global warming is the main culprit behind the deep freeze taking hold across large sections of the United States, saying the frigid temperatures are “exactly what we should expect” from climate change.
The climate change champion posted his environmental theory on social media, baselessly claiming that “bitter cold in parts of the US” can be explained by global warming; linking to an article from a “climate scientist.”
“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,” he tweeted.

The article, “A ‘Perfect Storm’: Extreme Winter Weather, Bitter Cold, and Climate Change,” strangely suggests that while “The US East Coast is experiencing an ‘old-fashioned’ winter, with plenty of cold weather and some heavy snowfall in certain places,” its somehow connected to man-made pollutants.
“Yet, what we were witnessing play out is in fact very much consistent with our expectations of the response of weather dynamics to human-caused climate change,” the author states.
President Trump prompted a full-fledge media meltdown just days ago, when he jokingly tweeted the east coast of the US “could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming.”
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

An Inconvenient Bomb: Al Gore's Climate-Change Film Flops at Box Office
Former Vice President and climate-change crusader Al Gore got some disappointing news this weekend, when his over-hyped and underwhelming movie “An Inconvenient Sequel” became an “inconvenient bomb” at the US box office, earning a measly $900,000 in its opening weekend.
“An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” came in 15th place at the US box office, signaling a total lack of interest from the movie-going audience, as well as industry executives and movie reviewers who barely noticed the film’s release.
Global-warming activists and other liberals were quick to accuse the studio of “sabotaging” the documentary, saying Paramount Pictures decided to abandon a large-scale release of the movie in late June.
One article, titled “Al Gore Gets Ripped Off Again,” blames the flop on “right wingers” who were opposed to the film’s environmental message.
“Sadly, the box-office underperformance of An Inconvenient Sequel will be seized upon by climate-change deniers as ‘proof’ that Americans don’t really care about this issue. That’s a false conclusion, but false conclusions never stopped right-wingers before,” wrote the Washington Monthly.
“This was not supposed to happen,” the author wrote. “He should have demanded a recount.”
MELTDOWN: Chelsea Handler GOES NUCLEAR Over Trump’s ‘Global Warming’ Joke
Comedian and well-respected climatologist Chelsea Handler went off on President Trump following his light-hearted tweet regarding global warming on Thursday, telling the Commander-in-Chief to take a thermometer and “shove it up his a**” after Trump urged east coast residents to “bundle up” as temperatures plunge.
The full-time Trump hater unloaded on the President on social media, calling Trump a “dumba**” and baselessly asserting that “global warming doesn’t only mean extreme heat.”
“Hey dumba**, global warming doesn’t only mean extreme heat; it means extreme weather. Hot and cold. Maybe buy a thermometer and shove it up your a**,” she tweeted.

Handler was reacting to Trump’s humorous tweet from earlier this week, where he jokingly said the east coast of the United States could use a little “global warming” as temperatures reach record lows across America.
Clearly, Chelsea didn’t get the joke.
In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!
