This article is "recycled"
from August 2018,
with minor revisions:
Al Gore is mainly
a failed politician.
A very rich
failed politician !
Mr. Gore once claimed
he invented the internet,
then revised that claim
to financing the internet,
then revised that claim
to casting his vote
for legislation that
financed the first
small prototype
of the internet.
Mr. Gore later decided
that he was
a climate scientist !
Al did take two elementary
science classes in college
... but couldn't manage to get
an A or B in either of them !
Al got a grade of “D”
in Natural Sciences 6
(“Man’s Place in Nature”),
and a grade of “C+”
in Natural Sciences 118,
as reported in 2000, by
The Washington Post
Al Gore released his film
“An Inconvenient Truth”
in 2006.
Have Mr. Gore’s scary
climate change predictions
come true?
(1)
Gore claimed
Mount Kilimanjaro,
Africa’s tallest peak,
would be snow-free
“within the decade.”
Didn't happen !
13 years later,
there’s still snow
on Kilimanjaro
all year.
(2)
Gore claimed temperature rises
from increases in man-made
carbon dioxide emissions were
going to be “uninterrupted and
intensifying.”
Didn't happen !
Unknown to Gore,
the year before
his film was released
in 2006, the average
global temperature
began a flat trend,
from 2005 to mid-2015,
sometimes called
"the pause".
The flat trend lasted
until the late 2015
El Niño heat release
from the Pacific Ocean.
An El Nino is a natural,
cyclical, local event
-- not man made, and
not related to CO2.
(3)
Gore predicted that
storms would become
more frequent
and more intense
as man-made emissions
warmed the oceans.
Didn't happen !
Example A:
In the US,
not one strong
category 3, 4 or 5
hurricane
hit the mainland
from 2005 to 2017
-- a record 12-year
hurricane-free span.
Example B:
The global
Accumulated
Cyclone
Energy (ACE)
Index
also showed
no rising trend.
(4)
Gore claimed in 2006
that there would be
no summer Arctic ice
in a decade.
Didn't happen !
Wrong again Al !
