Critics gave former Vice President Al Gore grief for predicting in An Inconvenient Truth that major cities including lower Manhattan would be underwater if severe ice melt occurred.
Now Gore is rewriting history to claim his prediction came true in promotion footage of his upcoming film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, which debuted at Sundance on Jan. 19.
In this case, context is the difference between honesty and self-interested revisionism.
In his 2006 film, Gore warned, If Greenland broke up and melted or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted this is what would happen to the sea level in Florida [animation shown with much of the state underwater].
Immediately, after showing Florida, Gore showed animations of drowning cities and countries: San Francisco, The Netherlands, Beijing, Shanghai, Calcutta and then Manhattan.
But this is what would happen to Manhattan, they can measure this precisely, Gore warned as he showed his audience much of the city underwater, including the area where the memorial would be built.
Now, hes twisted his original words to make it appear his prediction about Manhattan came true.
Ten years ago when the movie An Inconvenient Truth came out, the single most criticized scene was an animated scene showing that the combination of sea level rise and storm surge would put the ocean water into the 9/11 memorial site, which was then under construction. And people said, Thats ridiculous. What a terrible exaggeration, Gore claimed in a newly released clip from An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

Those who ascribe that GLOBAL WARMING will cause the SEA LEVELS to rise don’t believe GOD’S WORD or willfully haven’t read the SCRIPTURES.
JEREMIAH 5:22
Do you not fear me? declares the LORD. Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it.

Gore should explain how Obama’s making good his promise to keep the sea levels from rising is why his prediction did not come true.
the share price for carbon credits must be slipping - Gore’s out promoting his propaganda again
Someone needs to inform Gore that Greenland is actual land with ice on top of it, it is not an iceberg.
“Now Gore is rewriting history to claim his prediction came true in promotion footage of his upcoming film, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, which debuted at Sundance on Jan. 19. “
How apropos. This huge “carbon spew” by rich elitist that could easily be broadcast on Netflix saving untold tons of senseless carbon in the atmosphere. But that would only happen if they believed what they were spewing.
He should start with New Orleans, a city built under sea level and go from there.
