Al Gore's Hurricane Florence claim debunked by scientists - Washington Times

Al Gore's Hurricane Florence claim debunked by scientists - Washington Times
"Another climate-change claim by former Vice President Al Gore is coming under fire, this one involving Hurricane Florence.
...“This is the first time in history that two major storms are making landfall from the Atlantic and the Pacific simultaneously,” Mr. Gore told the crowd at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, which wrapped up Friday.
...“Al Gore just (fraudulently) claimed without any evidence that we’ve never had hurricanes in both the Atlantic and Pacific making landfall at the same time,” tweeted Mr. Maue, an adjunct scholar at the free-market Cato Institute.
University of Colorado Boulder meteorologist Roger A. Pielke Sr. also took issue with the claim by Mr. Gore, known for his 2006 climate-change film, An Inconvenient Truth, and the 2017 follow-up, An Inconvenient Sequel.
“Such statements show that he is not familiar with the history of tropical cyclone landfalls,” said Mr. Pielke in an email.
