Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees'

VIDEO OVER HERE

For several years as uneducated sycophants in the media gushed and fawned over every utterance from former Vice President Al Gore, NewsBusters has informed readers of just how absurd the junk science he's peddling really is.

Last Thursday, NBC "Tonight Show" viewers got a perfect example of how the Nobel Laureate basically makes things up, and that his poor grades in college were quite an indicator of just how little he understands about science.

So egregious was his departure from reality that the following clip should be mandatory viewing for all his fans in the media who seem to be just as scientifically-challenged (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Hot Air):

6800 degrees Celsius at the inner core of the Earth. The mantle (what we “float” on) only gets up to 850 degrees Celsius.

Gore is a boob!

[dennisw]

Epitome of the “liberal arts major” who is sucked in by fake science just so long as the drum is beat loud enough to make an emotional connection

AlGore speaks in a very loopy way. Like he’s on tranquilizers.

Gore flunks basic science here. He must have slept through science classes. This stuff was taught in the 1950s. It was basic knowledge

[reagan_fanatic]

It is difficult to understand how anyone can take this twit seriously.

We all know Gore ignores the truth and facts.

Their “poster child”, polar bear, has increased in numbers but he ignores it.

There was a good post on NR’s Corner/Planet Gore when this happened last month. I’m not going to go dig it up, but it’s out there

Sir your figures must be wrong if they contradict the great scientist and holy one Algore. 9000 degrees Celsius, pisha sounds way too low. Anyways these are matters of faith, you must believe, everyone says so.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.

I wonder if manbearpig knows that if what he said were true, he would be vapor, instead of just a fraud and liar.

6800 degrees Celsius at the inner core of the Earth. The mantle (what we “float” on) only gets up to 850 degrees Celsius........

From memory I thought 6000 Fahrenheit
I knew for sure we don’t have sun-like temperatures in the center of our earth. AlGore is typical of our sloppy leaders

I’m sure 0bama is no better at basic science. He was out smoking pot those days it was taught in school. Hanging with Frank Marshall Davis and getting “mentored” and educated into black grievance ideology and socialism

Maybe poor Alphonse has us mixed up with the sun.

The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface.

Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place

Shut up, algore. It’s over.

[Huskrrrr]

[GOPJ]

Science isn’t his strong suit.

“Al Gore: Earth’s Interior ‘Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees’”

That’s the Lake Of Fire, Al. Didn’t you know about The Lake Of Fire?

[Ax]

It appears that Algore and Rosie O’Donut attended the same science class. ((It’s not too often that you can say ‘Algore’ and ‘Rosie O’Donut’ in the same sentence, unless you mean Really Low Class.))

[CholeraJoe]

The core is several million degrees? Al Gore believes in the Hollow Earth Theory, with its Central Sun?

[urroner]

People, Gore is right, the center of the Earth is several million degrees and you all had the audacity to criticize the Lord's own Anointed One.

Did Lord Gore say what the scale was he was using? NO!!!! It's not Fahrenheit nor Celsius, it's a new scale created by them Global Warmers and it's known as the Bullshittish scale. The more BS they speak, the hotter the world gets.

I think you all owe Lord Gore an apology. Now, 'fess up people.
