Climate Crook Gore comes to Houston, finds its raining and blames climate change:

Al Gore says climate change exacerbated Houston, Louisiana floods

Former Vice President Al Gore warned Tuesday that rapid flooding events — like in Houston this spring and southern Louisiana right now — are exacerbated by climate change and could continue to worsen without taking action.

Gore came to Houston — the world’s energy capital — to launch The Climate Reality Project’s three-day leadership training conference to push for more grassroots activism and community engagement.

“Texas has really been hit hard by the climate crisis and, for the last 35 years, has had more billion-dollar-plus climate disasters than any other state,” Gore said. “Houston in particular has been hard hit.”

He said his heart is with those struggling with flooding in many parts of Louisiana. The National Weather Service reported, for instance, the community of Watson’s 31.39 inches of rain during the downpour exceeded the total amount of rain in five years for some parts of the Los Angeles area.

“These kinds of record downpours — that’s one of the manifestations of the climate crisis,” said Gore.
