<p>The former Vice President Al Gore is getting called out by scientists after he made a false climate-change claim about Hurricane Florence.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This is the first time in history that two major storms are making landfall from the Atlantic and the Pacific simultaneously,&rdquo; said Gore at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco last week. ;</p>
<p>He declared that both Hurricane Florence, a hurricane that struck the Carolinas on Friday and the Typhoon Mangkhut, which hit the Philippines on Saturday were attributed to the climate change problem.</p>
<p>However, scientists are pointing out that it is clear that Gore did not fact-check before making his statement. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Al Gore just (fraudulently) claimed without any evidence that we&rsquo;ve never had hurricanes in both the Atlantic and Pacific making landfall at the same time,&rdquo; tweeted Ryan Maue, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.</p>
<p>Roger A. Pielke Sr, a meteorologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, expressed similar sentiments. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Such statements show that he is not familiar with the history of tropical cyclone landfalls,&rdquo; said Pielke.</p>
<p>Gore also claimed that climate change is causing storms like the recent Harvey and Florence to linger in place longer ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Florence is similar to Harvey [the 2017 hurricane that hit Houston, Texas] in the sense that the disruption of the Northern Hemisphere jet stream is what is keeping these storms in the same place, so they drop so much water,&rdquo; said Gore while at the summit hosted by California Gov. Jerry Brown. &ldquo;Even without the cyclonic storms, we are putting so much heat into the oceans. We&rsquo;re using the sky as an open sewer &#8230; trapping heat energy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The liberal media has also been quick to report on the unusual activity of the hurricanes, implying that they are climate change related. ;</p>
<p><em>NBC News</em> reported on the hurricanes with the headline &#8220;In rare event, Atlantic, Pacific churn with storms at same time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Maue said that the <em>NBC</em> article also &ldquo;completely missed the mark on ongoing hurricanes and their rarity.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s note:</strong> As multiple meteorologists said, this isn&#8217;t the first time two hurricanes hit in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Al Gore has just made false claims yet again and for some reason, he isn&#8217;t being discredited by the liberal news.</p>
