WOW!
He actually said that!?
That, that is pretty far out, wild and just plain silly, even for Al Gore.
What’s worse, is he continued...
That trapped extra heat is causing epic downpours and floods, plus rising sea levels “so that in places like south Florida, high tides now put fish from the ocean into city streets,” says Gore.
For those who still deny that climate change is real and man-made pollution is to blame, Gore says the truth is winning out. “Every night on the television news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelations,” Gore says. “So more and more, people are connecting the dots.”
[ “Man-made global warming pollution now traps as much extra heat energy in the atmosphere every day as would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs going off every 24 hours,” said Gore. ]
Gore could be right, however given how order of magnitudes work if it is several orders of magnitudes below the total amount of energy we actually get fromthe sun per 24 hours it would only account for a .001% increase even with the 400,000 Hiroshima bombs worth of energy per day if the figure that we get from the sun normally is some thing like 40,000,000,000 H-boms bs per 24 hours normally.
It is just a way of using data manipulation and scary thing mis-applied to cause sensationalism.
