Al Gore is a failed politician
who once claimed
he invented the internet,
and later decided 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 by
the Washington Post
in 2000.
Al Gore released his film
“An Inconvenient Truth”
in 2006.
Have Mr. Gore’s scary
climate change predictions
come true?
Gore claimed
Mount Kilimanjaro,
Africa’s tallest peak,
would be snow-free
“within the decade.”
Didn't happen !
12 years later,
there’s still snow
on Kilimanjaro all year.
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,
a few years before
his film was released
in 2006, the average
global temperature
began a 12 year
flat trend
from 2003 to mid-2015
(with no warming),
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.
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.
Gore claimed in 2006
that there would be
no summer Arctic ice
in a decade.
Didn't happen !
Wrong again Al !
