We Can’t Wish Away Climate Change

The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States. Just as it’s important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm. 
We found Al Gore! Heeeeee's back and just as loony as ever. All that snow was, you know, caused by global warming which is caused by, you know, all that breathing you're doing out there.
