Another of Dr. Maue’s excellent twitter threads.

Al Gore’s climate presentations use recent headlines — falsely conflating weather and climate change — to “catalyze a solution to the climate crisis”

Tornadoes are the most recent example. https://t.co/wkiK6cYc9Y pic.twitter.com/JAQi4BwX6T

Gore’s tactics are no different than the itinerant preachers of the past — traveling across the countryside blaming victims of suffering for their own plight.

Gore’s tools are engaging PPT presentations w/pictures of tornadoes, hurricanes and floods.

6-years ago, Gore “lamented” that the science was “lagging” on connecting tornadoes to climate change. He was keenly aware of the lack of evidence in 2013 but seems to have overcome any misgivings in his recent presentations.https://t.co/bqomOwxgIe

It’s all about “timing” … focusing the short public attention span on climate change when extreme weather occurs.

It is a cynical political strategy.
