What happened to all of his predictions?
"Clearly wrong" about your predictions. Its 2020 guess what? We are still here, and so are the polar ice caps… also it snowed in Texas this year…. stfu forever Al
Pretending there is no cash agenda in science is a mistake. Al Gore was one of the first modern politicians cashing in on creating mass hysteria over the environment.
Another lying pos that only cares about money. Al gore doesn't care believe that. What new jobs? Where are all these new jobs to date gore? Under Obama close to 200 billion dollars where thrown at green energy. It's all about the money. Jay Inslee is the biggest dope out there.
Chicken little
Can't wait till we get an inland sea in Australia. We have some climate change so why not enjoy what we get. CO2 is good for plants so I will not jump on the Climate Change Bandwagon.
According to the Vostok Ice Core Records, CO2 level changes have followed Earth's overall temperature changes at an 800 year lag for the last 800,000 years. That means that our current CO2 levels are the result of Earth's overall temperature 800 years ago. World leaders have convinced their dependents that this works in the reverse order, relatively quickly, and that we are to blame, so that they can tax us out of a false shared guilt in order to be able to afford to "fight" climate change, an unstoppable natural cycle. The following is the source of this information:

Methods
In January 1998, the collaborative ice-drilling project between Russia, the United States, and France at the Russian Vostok station in East Antarctica yielded the deepest ice core ever recovered, reaching a depth of 3,623 m (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Ice cores are unique with their entrapped air inclusions enabling direct records of past changes in atmospheric trace-gas composition. Preliminary data indicate the Vostok ice-core record extends through four climate cycles, with ice slightly older than 400 kyr (Petit et al. 1997, 1999). Because air bubbles do not close at the surface of the ice sheet but only near the firn-ice transition (that is, at ~90 m below the surface at Vostok), the air extracted from the ice is younger than the surrounding ice (Barnola et al. 1991). Using semiempirical models of densification applied to past Vostok climate conditions, Barnola et al. (1991) reported that the age difference between air and ice may be ~6000 years during the coldest periods instead of ~4000 years, as previously assumed. Ice samples were cut with a bandsaw in a cold room (at about -15°C) as close as possible to the center of the core in order to avoid surface contamination (Barnola et al. 1983). Gas extraction and measurements were performed with the "Grenoble analytical setup," which involved crushing the ice sample (~40 g) under vacuum in a stainless-steel container without melting it, expanding the gas released during the crushing in a pre-evacuated sampling loop, and analyzing the CO2 concentrations by gas chromatography (Barnola et al. 1983). The analytical system, except for the stainless-steel container in which the ice was crushed, was calibrated for each ice sample measurement with a standard mixture of CO2 in nitrogen and oxygen. For further details on the experimental procedures and the dating of the successive ice layers at Vostok, see Barnola et al. (1987, 1991), Lorius et al. (1985), and Petit et al. (1999).
Trends
There is a close correlation between Antarctic temperature and atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (Barnola et al. 1987). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record shows that the main trends of CO2 are similar for each glacial cycle. Major transitions from the lowest to the highest values are associated with glacial-interglacial transitions. During these transitions, the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rises from 180 to 280-300 ppmv (Petit et al. 1999). The extension of the Vostok CO2 record shows the present-day levels of CO2 are unprecedented during the past 420 kyr. Pre-industrial Holocene levels (~280 ppmv) are found during all interglacials, with the highest values (~300 ppmv) found approximately 323 kyr BP. When the Vostok ice core data were compared with other ice core data (Delmas et al. 1980; Neftel et al. 1982) for the past 30,000 – 40,000 years, good agreement was found between the records: all show low CO2 values [~200 parts per million by volume (ppmv)] during the Last Glacial Maximum and increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations associated with the glacial-Holocene transition. According to Barnola et al. (1991) and Petit et al. (1999) these measurements indicate that, at the beginning of the deglaciations, the CO2 increase either was in phase or lagged by less than ~1000 years with respect to the Antarctic temperature, whereas it clearly lagged behind the temperature at the onset of the glaciations.

al gore is played by bruce willis. they are all frauds and actors. do the research., it's so hard to see it and believe it but our civilization depends on you waking up and exposing the truth.
yeah, to Al Gore Climate is a political agenda. for Trump it is an action item. Gore wants to tell us about [some] ice that may begin melting in 2100 something. whereas Trump is focused on a better border wall to stop folks that look too much like us and none of us would have the heart to stop because we will have not have seen it except in photos of the death camps in Nazi Germany. food not ice. duh.
and "one agent" [not China] radiation management program also known as the US Space Force project. Trump is the greenest US president since Teddy Roosevet, was it? was he the national parks guy? anyhow, yeah, I suffer from The Asperger's Syndrome mental disaese. so does Greta Thunberg, did I spell that right? plus Bill Gates, Bill Gross and Albert Einstein. ya know, nutters all of them.
still don't get it??? then think about "ice melting" as a narrative similar to "We Are Winning in South Vietnam! come join us and Kill the Commies! they are disguised as old men, old women, children and babies"….. bone spurs. now do you get it???????????
still don't??? Trump is from New York where we would still be making Charles Bronson movies were it not for…… deregulated air travel… and tourism, tourism, tourism. the 1970's. in the 1960's it was plastic, plastic, plastic. and thru to today such as fancy golf resorts and hotels that 90% of the guests "fly" to get to and have been a great cash cow. so Trump had to know about this reality. not just about the Evils of Communism. but which involve the quickest and easiest "only 2% of GHG emissions" that we can grab…. the other 98% is gonna be tougher than cotton picking was for our first 200 years of the USA. for sure. maybe even the first 2%??????
and that's just to get to zero GHG… Paris 2015 calls for "carbon removals" and that was almost 4 years ago now. so it's not just air travel and flush toilets unless they run on solar manufactured and delivered batteries and solar power manufactured and delivered solar panels. plus some fancy "carbon removal" technology that Al Gore is going to "invent" for us but only if we vote Democratic! and then skip air safety testing and replace 250,000 airplanes in a few months. Al Gore can do that! Roger Hallam also believes it's possible. or maybe not Roger.
but it is way bigger than "inventing the Internet". easily.
that one is even more God like than burning shit for 200 years was and still is. and we ain't got 200 years for the "carbon removals" thing. maybe even need a time machine too.
none of which is funny if you have Asperger's.
but at some point all we all have is love. and laughter. like in one big funny farm. with or without Asperger's Syndrome.
Hottest recorded?You mean constructed!
Great mind…
HEY WORLD WHOM VISITED HERE, GET BEHIND JAY INSLEE. (WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF CO2 POSSIBLE (BEFORE CATASTROPHE) EMISSIONS 'CAPITAL' (TIME) !!! WE'RE NEARING THE TIPPING POINT. MITIGATE CONSUMERISM (BYE BYE CHINA, SORRY), ILLEGALIZE IT, ILLEGALIZE BURNING FOSSIL FUELS , CONVERT POWER GENERATION TO SOLAR, WIND AND DEEP GEOTHERMAL. WE HAVE 10 F'G YEARS LEFT BEFORE WE TRIP MASS METHANE RELEASE ETC.!! SOME GOVERNMENT SMPLIFY THE IPCC REPORT OF OCT '18 , AND F'G DISTRIBUTE IT VIA TV PUTER OR LOUDSPEAKERS IN THE STREET. CHANGE MUST HAPPEN NOW, AS YOUR 12 YEAR OLD KID YOU PROFESS TO LOVE SO MUCH, IF YOU'RE TOO THICK TO GET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love me some Al Gore❤ BUT baby, you're wasting your breath trying to reason with pumpkinpuss.
Katrina & Sandy, et al are hoaxes, according to the stable genius.😈
Al Gore has dirt on the Clinton's…. There, hopefully "climate change" will stop and we'll all be ok.
Is it just me or is that SOB cross eyed from lookin at all the bull shit "data" that he comes up with
ashole reporter making it political and asking stupid quewstions
Who actually listens to his lies?
Climate change is a hoax. It’s a liberal conspiracy. A 1 trillion dollar business in which the UN wants to regulate everything. Climate Gate anybody? Plz that’s the smoking gun. Years later Paris agreement. Most expensive treaty ever. It’s all about the Benjamins.
And yet water levels have dropped in Sydney Harbour Australia. So if the oceans are rising. Australia must have a big moat around it.
Saudi Aramco-this company generates over $1 billion a day in revenue- this is y there is no climate change
Big Al's carbon footprint, he doesn't seem too worried: https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/al-gores-house-2/view/google/
Didn't Al Gore sell his Current TV network to one of the biggest fossil fuel producers on the planet… Qatar… for $500 million. This was after making a fortune pimping global warming. Just for the record, according to the IPCC and NASA the earth has warmed a grand total of 1C in the last 170 years since 1850. So if you live to the age of 80 you can expect to experience 0.5C of warming over your entire life. On the other hand you experience a lot more warming and cooling than that every day between the mid day high temperature and the evening low. In many places around the world the temp changes by 100 degrees every 12 months from summer to winter.. and there is nothing unusual about a 30 degree change in a matter of hours any day of the year. So how exactly is 1C of warming over the course of 170 years a catastrophic change ?
Whelp, you're also missing at least half the US population as well as a large number of "climate scientists"
Al Gore is such a has been. He should get along good with Trump they both just make things up.
Just remember that Al Gore was the second of four Democrats in modern political history to be cheated out of a presidential election by an evil white supremacist. The first was Jimmy Carter, the third was John Kerry, and the fourth was Hillary Clinton. Every Republican presidential victory since at least 1980 has been fraudulent.
Do you trust thermometers? I do. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xy34a2fgy3qritp/Madrid_40%20yerars.jpg?dl=0
These comments make me so happy
FAKE CLIMATE CHANGE / FAKE GLOBAL WARMING/ its all BS
India root is Hinduism.
So, people all over the world need India's support.
Al Gore's historical mark will be that he put 100% of his effort into trying the save the world from the devastation of climate change.
Donald J. Trump's will be that he divided the country, was a known certifiable narcissist, racist, sexist, and cosmogonist. He destroyed our relationship with allies, was ill-equipped for the office of the presidency, a con artist, a liar, and most infuriating, Donald J. Trump was an unpatriotic draft dodging traitor.
There are so many things that I worry about for my grandchildrens future. One of then is climate change.. Trump doesn't care what happens to the world 10 or 20 years from now. He will probably be dead.. He probably can't even spell his grandkids names.. Or even know how many he has…
