AL GORE CONFUSED ON THE FACTS

Elsewhere in the blog I published an article which said that increased snow in certain areas would be a result of global warming. (In my editorial section it is editorial #1. Click here to reference it.) Al Gore has taken the same position but without the specifics which I included in my article. I stated that there are areas where it gets too cold to snow. Below minus 20 degrees fahrenheit there is NO water vapor left in the atmosphere. Minus 20 is the point of 'homogeneous nucleation' of water. Normally water vapor needs a tiny spec of dust called a condensation nucleii to form a snowflake or water droplet. At minus 20 this is no longer true and whatever water vapor is left simply falls out of the air. I limited my opinion to areas where it is normally colder than minus twenty, such as mountain tops and both poles. If global temperatures rise, especially in those areas there will be more snow in those areas. Al Gore now expands this theory to include recent snowfalls in the US as having been caused by global warming. In the Fox News Science article linked here that misstatement of Mr Gore is exposed for the falsehood it is. The article as well mocks other misleading statements. The recent snowfalls were within the normal precipitation range for the areas. It's not that more water fell as snow, it's just that it was colder than normal so the water which might have normally fallen as rain simply fell as snow. Mr Gore is not very bright as a scientific observer. He certainly should get his facts straight instead of just throwing out bogus explanations to support his theory.
