As proof that he must spend a great deal of his time
living in own special kind of denial, ex vice president and everyone’s favorite
leftwing global warming scam artist, Al Gore, recently told The Hollywood
Reporter (THR) that his 2006 exercise in climate propaganda, “An Inconvenient
Truth,” was not only far from being an exaggeration when it came to any of its
claims, but actually underestimated just how serious global warming would turn
out to be. Even though such a claim
ignores completely the fact that NONE of the predictions made throughout the
film came about.
So it was then that just says before the 10th anniversary
of his epic boondoggle, it was in the interview with THR that Gore said, “I
wish the film had over-estimated the seriousness of the crisis, but
unfortunately it actually underestimated how serious it is,” Gore told THR in
an interview Thursday, just days before the 10th anniversary of his film. Gore added, “But on the positive side,
solutions are now being developed so quickly that there is real cause for hope
and optimism.” I’d be curious to know
just what specific solutions he might be talking about.
Gore’s 2006 film made the claim that global warming
was the greatest challenge facing mankind, and that human-produced carbon
dioxide emissions were pushing the Earth towards an ecological disaster. The
film even won Gore and his crew two Oscars in 2007, and the movie revitalized
Gore’s political relevance. But did
Gore’s film actually “underestimate” the seriousness of global warming? A group of reporters re-watched “An
Inconvenient Truth” in early May to see just how well Gore’s predictions fared
after a decade. I’m afraid old Al didn’t
fare too well.
It has been pointed out by any number of sources
just how far off the mark Gore’s top five predictions really were. Some of his
more famous predictions, including that Mount Kilimanjaro would have no snow by
2016, turned out to be hilariously incorrect, and, yes Al, Kilimanjaro still
has plenty of snow. But that didn’t stop
Gore from playing up his film’s success when interviewed by THR. For example, Gore actually bragged about his
expertise on the connection between global warming and extreme weather. His expertise? He’s kidding, right?
Gore said, “All 50 of the state insurance
commissioners were meeting in New Orleans and had invited me to make a
presentation on the linkage between hurricanes and the climate crisis.” And he went on to say, “It was scheduled for
the very day that Hurricane Katrina ended up slamming into New Orleans.” I’m wondering if those insurance
commissioners regret paying Gore to explain global warming to them since
there’s not a lot of evidence global warming has caused the weather to become
more extreme. Is Al simply delusional,
or just plain dishonest?
For crying out loud, even the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) data doesn’t support Gore’s idiotic claim. The
IPCC found in 2013 there “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated
with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.” The IPCC also found “no significant observed
trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and “[n]o
robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major
hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North
Atlantic basin.”
What we have here, from old Al, what we have here is
really nothing more than another example of repeating a lie over and over again
until it’s seen as being the truth. And
when you take into consideration the fact that the left has been telling what
is essentially the same lie, going first from global cooling in the 1970s to
now where the greatest thing we have to fear, even more the Muslim terrorists,
is global warming. And still the vast
majority of Americans simply don’t buy. But
I’m pretty sure that Al will keep working to sell his climate nonsense.
