Al Gore's claim about Hurricane Florence doused by scientists

• https://www.washingtontimes.com

Another climate-change claim by former Vice President Al Gore is coming under fire, this one involving Hurricane Florence.

Mr. Gore said Friday that two major storms from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans had never made landfall at the same time, referring to Hurricane Florence, the Category 1 hurricane that struck North Carolina on Friday, and Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which hit the Philippines early Saturday.

"This is the first time in history that two major storms are making landfall from the Atlantic and the Pacific simultaneously," Mr. Gore told the crowd at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, which wrapped up Friday.
