yeah, my bad, i just knew that tornadoes could spin both ways, so i figured it would be the same with hurricanes.
i did read the article and found it thoroughly unconvincing.
the fact that they're photoshopped really seems like a minor issue to me. it's just like seeing a picture of the food you're going to order when you go through a drive-thru. i'm not going to be pissed and call the manager a liar if my burger doesn't look exactly like the picture. the picture is merely to give you an idea of what you're ordering. if al gore showed the photoshopped picture to the public saying "this happened because of global warming" then i would be outraged, but if he showed it to the public and said, "this is what will happen because of global warming", then that would be completely different. out of context, there really is no bearing on whether it is a big deal or not.
global warming, no. climate change, yes. the earth does naturally go through cycles of warming and cooling, but they are often much more gradual compared to the one that we are going through right now. the only logical explanation for the rapid change is the global industrialization that has occurred in the last 200 years.
p.s. i hate al gore and think he is a tool out to make a profit off the green revolution, but shit, it's not like living cleaner is going to have any negative consequences
