Limbaugh’s Al Gore Armageddon Clock About To Hit Zero After Ten Years
Dailycaller.com ^ | 1-2-2015 | KERRY PICKET

Former Vice President Al Gore made a prediction for the earth's point of no return 10 years ago and talk radio host Rush Limbaugh held him to it since that day in 2006.

The countdown clock on Limbaugh's site has been running for nearly 10 years since Gore's apocalyptic prediction about the earth as a result of greenhouse emissions. Less than a month remains in the countdown.

Gore predicted, when his film "An Inconvenient Truth" was first released at the Sundance Film Festival, that the earth would be in "a true planetary emergency" within the next ten years unless drastic action was taken to reduce greenhouse gases.

CBS News reported at the time that Gore's film predicted the worst-case scenarios would be a new ice age in Europe, massive floods in China, India, and other areas. Gore described himself as a "recovering politician" to the Sundance audience at the time and that he "benefits from low expectations."

"What really attracted us to this presentation is the tone Al strikes," said "An Inconvenient Truth" director Davis Guggenheim to CBS. "It's not righteous. It doesn't have a political agenda. It lands right in the middle, and Al just lays out what is this inconvenient truth. And I think that's why the audience is willing to receive it."

Limbaugh laughed at Gore's 10 year prediction in 2006 saying on his radio show, "Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about 'ten years' it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching."

He added, "Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view."

Climate models scientists referred to for the past six decades were incorrect, a working paper released in December by CATO scientists Patrick Michaels and Chip Knappenberger said. Both Michaels and Knappenberger discovered the models over-projected the warming rates than what actually happened.

"During all periods from 10 years (2006-2015) to 65 (1951-2015) years in length, the observed temperature trend lies in the lower half of the collection of climate model simulations," Michaels and Knappenberger said, "and for several periods it lies very close (or even below) the 2.5th percentile of all the model runs."

The inconvenient truth about Al Gore is that this hypocrite went jet-setting constantly nearly every week around the world, polluting Earth with emissions from his private jets for himself and his entourage. He owns several mansions where each uses enough electricity and air conditioning to power small towns of thousands, even though empty while he is non-resident. The man who wants us to forego air conditioning leaves his air conditioning on at his mansions. There is pollution from the lawn mowers for the acres of green at his mansions, that offsets any savings from thousands of individuals.

Al Gore is inconvenient for the health of the world.

The press works as the thug arm of the Democrat Party. They don’t share things that make Democrats look bad. This story will NOT be covered on NBC, in the MSM, New York Times or Washington Post. News Bias: keeping the lid on democrat silliness and lies...


And they denigrate Rush as an *entertainer* (in fact, there are morons here on FR, sad to say, who have used the same word with regard to Rush), even though he speaks more to the issues than ANY of them do, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK!

Not to be a nitpicker, but that picture of his Nashville estate is actually that of Bar-bra Streisand.

This is iGore's Nashville estate:

Keep in mind that Apple is run by a bunch of leftist greenies. I assume they felt they owed iGore a consolation prize since he was cheated out of the presidency by the Evil George Bush and right wing lawyers like Ted Cruz.

Besides, since he invented the Internet, they thought he could invent something else really cool for Apple.

Unbelievable, the left is just the absolute biggest freakin hypocrites going in this world “Capitalism is just so evil” and they indulge in the worst kind of it. And they always say to this day - Gore had the election stolen from him when the fact of that matter is Gore was PREVENTED from stealing the election. Who tried to have overseas ballots disqualified? Gore did. Who had Jesse Jackson come down to Florida to hold fake protests over “blacks being turned away at the polls”? Gore did! Who tried to have felons vote? Gore did! Who tried to have unpunched chads count as a vote for him? Gore did. The guy is a sociopathic punk ass mofo who should be in jail for taking bribes from airlines rather than overhaul airlines security which he was suppose to do. And what happened? 3000 people lost their lives on 911 to freakin boxcutters! BOXCUTTERS! Nice security there, they can’t even stop boxcutters.

The Earth’s climate system is the means by which the planet self-corrects. Weather is how the planet equalizes heat and rids itself of it.

The planet receives the overwhelming majority of its heat from the sun, and radiates most of it off into space. If it radiated all of it, Earth would be like the Moon. Cloud cover, water vapor, greenhouse gases assure that some heat is kept on the surface of the planet.

The system adjusts for excesses, and prevents runaway excesses. I can see that. Intelligent people should be able to see it. Scientists who have gone to work for the democrat party don’t want to see it. algore refuses to see it, or his little empire and royalties would crumble.

Well, ya gotcher big flood which showed how deceived people were before such flood. Then ya gotcher Tower of Babel, Then ya gotcher Sodom and Gomorrah. Then there is the whole failed time of the Law as taught to us by Israel. The key verse that always reminds me of two grumpy old men complaining is:

Eccl 7:10 Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

Well, I was talking about “modern times.”

And I take Eccl. 7:10 to say there’s no wisdom in asking the question. It doesn’t say the premise is wrong. ;)

Now wait a minute. :-P
