Al Gore claims his climate-change predictions about 2016 have now come true

Former Vice President Al Gore said his predictions from 2006 about climate change over the next ten years have come true and claimed part of the damage has been irreversible.

"You said back in 2006 that the world would reach the point of no return if drastic measures weren't taken to reduce greenhouse gases by 2016. Is it already too late?" ABC News' Jonathan Karl asked during "This Week with George Stephanopolous" on Sunday.

"Well, some changes, unfortunately, have already been locked in place," Gore replied. "Sea level increases are going to continue no matter what we do now. But, we can prevent much larger sea level increases -- much more rapid increases in temperatures. The heat wave was in Europe. Now, it’s in the Arctic, and we’re seeing huge melting of the ice there."

How does he explain there was more than normal ice at the poles this year?

Why is he still contributing to end of the world with his multiple gas guzzling SUVs, high electric bill and his own hot air and CO2?

According to Andrew Yang, we need to start “moving our people to higher ground”. These people are certifiably insane.

Sea level increases are going to continue no matter what we do now.

And what we might have done before, and even if we weren’t on the planet.

I’ll start to worry when I read the article about Gore selling his oceanfront mansion in Wackifornia for pennies on the dollar.

I might start to worry when I find out all the climate change idiots are flying to he latest “summit” in France on ONE plane, not 150 of them and a couple dozen yachts.

I did some checking. Our highest temperature in my area was 110 many years ago in 1909, the most recent was 108 on Aug 2, 1998. Since then, they show the high for most years at 105, so 20 years of more moderate temperatures. The last few days of July and Aug 1 and 2 were 106 to 108 in 98. To go back to the previous time it was 108 here, you have to look as far back as 1962.

Most days its been lower than normal here, 102 is the highest I remember in the past 15 years or so, although the “official” data says 104 and 105 every year since 1998. So far this year, 99 is the hottest day I’ve seen. Well under he average high of around 104 I remember from years ago.

Then the winters have been much more harsh for the past 6 years. Record snowfall in most of the northeast, record winter storms all across the north last winter, freeways in Atlanta frozen over for a week, first time in history, 3 inches sh=]now here in my yard, first time ever, and it stayed for a week...usually we get an inch at most, and it’s gone by the next morning.

I’ve seen snow stay 2 days once in my life, (Pineville, LA when I was in high school) and someone printed a picture of the snow woman a friend and I made in the local newspaper the 2nd day. That was winter of 1972-73. We decided anybody can make a snowman, let’s give ours some boobs...next day my father threw a copy of the newspaper in my lap, there on the front page was a picture of our yard, with a snow woman standing there...she was gone by the middle of the 2nd day.

What a fraud. He owned companies that made money from idiots that bought carbon credits.

In any case, what science degree does Al Gore hold?

Yeah, I was thinking about this when I was swimming in the Ocean off the Coast of Arizona.

You should come up and check out the beach just west of Reno. The drop off is a little tough but other than that.

My backyard ends at a saltwater stream... my home was twelve feet above sea level 30 years ago - and it’s still twelve feet above sea level.

In case you missed it, nuzzlin’ joe has declared that the demolibs have ‘chosen truth over facts’ now. Whatever that means.

Hey, he doesn't have to, and if you even ask then you're a climate denying racist Trump lover.

A global average temperature for the whole planet is a about as unscientific a number as you could come up with. It’s almost meaningless.

Drawing up drastic world wide “economic” solutions based solely upon this number is either sheer stupidity or entirely political.

Considering the messenger I will assume the later. Comrades.
