Former president Clinton stated Monday that GOP environmental policies will lead to more global warming and thus more hurricanes.
As Tropical Storm Alberto threatened to strengthen into the ninth hurricane in 22 months to affect Florida, former resident Clinton predicted Monday that Republican environmental policies will lead to more severe storms.
“It is now generally recognized that while Al Gore and I were ridiculed, we were right about global warming,” Clinton said at a fundraiser for the Florida Democratic Party. “It’s a serious problem. It’s going to lead to more hurricanes.”
Gore’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” chronicles the former vice president’s efforts to educate the public about global warming. It’s in limited release around the country.
I’m not much of a hurricane hunter…they don’t do all that much for me. But severe weather over land does. If GOP policies can make more hurricanes, perhaps the GOP can do something about this rather quiet severe weather season that the Midwest/Plains has experienced. If you weren’t out in April chasing the storms that blew by at Mach-2 then you haven’t had much of a chance to experience good storms as May (and June to date) was relatively quiet.
At this point, I think we all need to get on the horn making phone calls to our local representatives and let them know that they need to take a stand against this death ridge if they expect our vote in the fall. Vote for more storms: Vote GOP!

Wow, that’s a cute little series of images. Sort of how I imagine the elephant and donkey blending together to become an ill-defined advocate for the creamy middle that is most of this country’s voters.
Oh, and it IS just the first half of June, so there is still plenty of svr wx season left in some parts of the land:)

Glad you like the graphic - I wanted to pull it all together somehow.
Your sentiments about the rest of the season ring true - it looks to be an active end to the week up north - I hope you see some good stuff before the week is out.
