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):

[Outlaw Woman]

Shouldn’t that say Captain ‘Oblivious’? lol

[billhilly]

I’m guessing those grades were inflated just because he was the son of a US Senator. That can be translated as dumb and dumber.

[Huskrrrr]

Yes, you’re right.

[Marty62]

OMG can his stupidity get any worse.
Does the msm know how STUPID they look by giving him a platform to spout his ignorance.

[dennisw]

Science isn’t his (AlGore) strong suit.

Obama isn't any better and could care less about logic fairness and science
Both play the demagogue game to herd the sheeple into socialism via fear and hysteria
Lousy power mad socialists

Republicans seek power wealth status via private enterprise
Democrats seek power wealth status via government
There is no government without private enterprise so the Democrat rulers parasitize off the productive Americans in the private sector. Productive Americans are forced to feed the beast via laws and taxes

[NeoCaveman]

Now I know how he flunked out of Divinity School.

What’s become known as “Climategate” may be about to explode on this side of the pond as well. Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, has threatened a lawsuit against NASA if by year-end the agency doesn’t honor his Freedom of Information (FOI) requests for information on how and why its climate numbers have been consistently adjusted for errors.

“I assume that what is there is highly damaging,” says Horner, who suspects, based on the public record, the same type of data fudging, manipulation and suppression that has occurred at Britain’s East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU). “These guys (NASA) are quite clearly determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this.”

They may have good reason, says Investor’s Business Daily (IBD):

* NASA was caught with its thermometers down when James Hansen, head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, announced that 1998 was the country’s hottest year on record, with 2006 the third hottest.
* NASA and Goddard were forced to correct the record in 2007 to show that 1934, decades before the advent of the SUV, was in fact the warmest; in fact, the new numbers showed that four of the country’s 10 warmest years were in the 1930s.
* Hansen, who began the climate scare some two decades ago, was caught fudging the numbers again in declaring October 2008 the warmest on record.
* This despite the fact that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.
* Scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on that October’s readings at all; figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.

Was Hansen, like his CRU counterpart Michael Mann, trying to “hide the decline” in temperatures, asks IBD?

Hansen has said in the past that “heads of major fossil-fuel companies who spread disinformation about global warming should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.” What penalties would he recommend for himself and his CRU colleagues, asks IBD?

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

Not really. The average Goron is exactly like him. IQ equivalent to their shoe size.....

[gathersnomoss]

The Government and its agencies do not have to tell you or me a F*CKING thing.

Mark my word. Who is the AG? Who is he aligned with? Who has the power? Where is the money and who is controlling it?

Move along and put a fork in it. While you are at it, hand over your wallet before it is taken from you by force.

[sasquatch]

Everybody knows he’s right.

[steelyourfaith]

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

Yesterday at a crank peak oil/agw site one of the posters unleashed a gem when she noted that there was actual film footage of the glaciers of Greenland falling into the sea. I guess icebergs are a recent phenom according to the geniuses of the left.

[junta]

Very well said sir.

Then the Earth would be a star, Al, you Charlatan Carbon Credit billionaire wannabe scumb*g.

[HerrBlucher]

The MSM crowd are just as stupid. Leftist = Stupid.

[jpsb]

Wow, and I thought the Earth was too small to be a star. Guess it’s a brown drawf. Man this sure changes how we thought the solar system evovled. Thanks alot Gor-ron, got to go rewrite tons of books now.

[The_Victor]

Maybe poor Alphonse has us mixed up with the sun.

Maybe Algore can team up with Sheila Jackson-Lee and head off to Mars to look for the Apollo landing sites.

[onedoug]

I don’t know.... There are plenty of FReepers who don’t know much about science either.
