Ironically, the Goracle was speaking at an event hosted by Dem Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, the same Sheldon Whitehouse who blamed the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma on . . . global warming.

Via The Hill:

Former Vice President Al Gore lamented on Tuesday that scientists “won’t let us yet” link tornadoes to climate change.

Gore alluded to last month’s devastating twister in Moore, Okla., saying that shoddy historical statistics are preventing a connection between “these record-breaking tornadoes and the climate crisis.”

The former vice president made the comments at Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) annual Rhode Island energy and environment conference at the Capitol.

Scientists have generally avoided associating individual extreme weather events to climate change, though they say its effects intensify such incidents.
