Observation, out of 20 points listed below. Libertarian Cato is found to
have lied in every instance.
Concludion. Libertarian Cato is a Liar.
Hardly a surprise as I have never encounterd a Libertairan who wasn't a
perpetual liar.

Which is Lie number 6 for Cato.
This is what Gore says about Lake Chad...
"Unbelievable tragedies have been unfolding there and there are a lot
reasons for it. Darfur and Niger are among those tragedies. One of the
factors that has been compounding this is the lack of rainfall and the
increasing drought. This is Lake Chad, once one of the largest lakes in
the
world. It has dried up over the last few decades to almost nothing."

This is what Gore says about Katrina.
"And then of course came Katrina. It is worth remembering that when it hit
Florida it was a Category 1, but it killed a lot of people and caused
billions of dollars worth of damage. And then, what happened? Before it
hit
New Orleans, it went over warmer water. As the water temperature
increases,
the wind velocity increases and the moisture content increases. And you'll
see Hurricane Katrina form over Florida. And then as it comes into the
Gulf
over warm water it becomes stronger and stronger and stronger. Look at
that
Hurricane's eye. And of course the consequences were so horrendous; there
are no words to describe it. "

Which is lie #8 for Cato
This is what Gore said about Polar Bears.
"So there is a faster build up of heat here at the North Pole in the
Arctic
Ocean and the Arctic generally than any where else on the planet. That's
not
good for creatures like polar bears that depend on the ice. A new
scientific
study shows that for the first time they're finding polar bears that have
actually drowned, swimming long distances up to 60 miles to find the ice.
They did not find that before."
Which is correct.

Which is error #9 from Cato.
And what is El Nino? A Warming of the Pacific surface waters.
So acccording to Cato, here, it isn't the warming of the earth's oceans
that causes coral bleaching, in th pacific, it's the rise of pacific ocean
temperatures.

Weather-Related Insurance Losses Doubled in '07
30 Dec 07
Losses to insurers from natural disasters nearly doubled this year to just
below $30 billion globally after an unusually quiet 2006, a leading
reinsurer said, from winter storms in Europe, flooding in Britain and
wildfires in the U.S.

Which is lie # 15 for Cato.
Mumbai did flood.
The Maharashtra floods of 2005 refers to the flooding of many parts of the
Indian state of Maharashtra including large areas of the metropolis
Mumbai,
a city located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, on the western coast of
India, in which at least 1,000 people died. It occurred just one month
after
similar flooding in Gujarat.
The floods were caused by the eighth heaviest ever recorded 24-hour
rainfall
figure of 944 mm (37.2 inches) which lashed the metropolis on 26 July
2005,
and intermittently continued for the next day. 644 mm (25.4 inches) was
received within the 12-hr period between 8am and 8pm. Torrential rainfall
continued for the next week.

Reconstructing the frequency of tornado occurrence in the central United
States
Matthew J. Menne, NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC, Asheville, NC
Evidence is presented that the apparent decrease in strong-to-violent
tornado frequency since 1950 implied by the official storm archive is
inconsistent with the radiosonde record. Abrupt changes in the bias of the
reconstruction, that is, the ratio of the number of tornado soundings
predicted to the number observed, are shown to be coincident with changes
in
storm classification procedures that occurred during the 1970s and the
early
1990s. Rather than a decrease in frequency since the 1950s, the
reconstruction suggests that supercell tornado frequency has been
reasonably
stationary until the 1990s when some increase in frequency is suggested.

Arctic warming at twice global rate
Shaoni Bhattacharya

NewScientist.com news service
Global warming in the Arctic is happening now, warns the most
comprehensive
scientific re****t to date. The re****ts concludes that the northern ice cap
is warming at twice the global rate and that this will lead to serious
consequences for the planet.
