Al Gore was right.
Only instead of burning us all up, global warming has resulted in everyone being frozen like pop-sickles.
A powerful winter storm that had already pummeled the South whipped into the Northeast on Thursday, paralyzing much of the East Coast.
Strong winds were blowing snow at a sharp angle in New York, Boston and beyond, cloaking much of the region in a white haze. Plows and salt trucks rumbled down streets, homeless shelters filled, schools and offices were closed and thousands of flights were canceled.
Some meteorologists have classified the storm as a “bomb cyclone” for its sharp drop in atmospheric pressure, and it has led to blizzard warnings in Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia.
Here’s the latest:
• Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York on Thursday morning declared a state of emergency for the southern part of the state, including Westchester County, New York City and Long Island.
• The National Weather Service said Atlantic City, N.J., could record up to 18 inches of snow, and Delaware beach towns were facing the prospect of a foot of snow.
• Most of New York City was forecast to receive five to eight inches of snowfall, although Queens, and neighboring Nassau County, could get up to 10 inches.

• The storm also shut down schools in Baltimore; Boston; Newark; New York; Philadelphia; Providence, R.I.; Virginia Beach; and Washington, among other places. Classes were also canceled in areas in the South that had seen snowfall and anticipated days of bitter cold. Some districts in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina closed schools for Thursday.
• The storm’s race up the East Coast — through some of the busiest air traffic corridors in the country — prompted airlines to cancel nearly 3,600 flights by Thursday afternoon, according to FlightAware, an aviation tracking website. Nationwide, airlines have already scratched plans for more than 300 flights on Friday.
• Tens of thousands of customers, mostly in Virginia, were without power on Thursday morning, and even in places where electricity was mostly flowing, officials feared the consequences of frigid temperatures that will linger for days.
• With heating units in homes and commercial buildings running furiously to fend off the deep freeze, power companies have warned of possible fuel shortages to come.
If only we had listened…
If only Donald Trump had been stopped from pulling out of the Paris Accords…
So many lives could have been saved, if global warming had not been allowed to create this frozen hellscape across the globe.
