Former Vice President Al Gore made a prediction for the earth's point of no return 10 years ago and talk radio host Rush Limbaugh held him to it since that day in 2006.
The countdown clock on Limbaugh's site has been running for nearly 10 years since Gore's apocalyptic prediction about the earth as a result of greenhouse emissions. Less than a month remains in the countdown.
Gore predicted, when his film "An Inconvenient Truth" was first released at the Sundance Film Festival, that the earth would be in "a true planetary emergency" within the next ten years unless drastic action was taken to reduce greenhouse gases.
CBS News reported at the time that Gore's film predicted the worst-case scenarios would be a new ice age in Europe, massive floods in China, India, and other areas. Gore described himself as a "recovering politician" to the Sundance audience at the time and that he "benefits from low expectations."
"What really attracted us to this presentation is the tone Al strikes," said "An Inconvenient Truth" director Davis Guggenheim to CBS. "It's not righteous. It doesn't have a political agenda. It lands right in the middle, and Al just lays out what is this inconvenient truth. And I think that's why the audience is willing to receive it."
Limbaugh laughed at Gore's 10 year prediction in 2006 saying on his radio show, "Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about 'ten years' it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching."
He added, "Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view."
Climate models scientists referred to for the past six decades were incorrect, a working paper released in December by CATO scientists Patrick Michaels and Chip Knappenberger said. Both Michaels and Knappenberger discovered the models over-projected the warming rates than what actually happened.
"During all periods from 10 years (2006-2015) to 65 (1951-2015) years in length, the observed temperature trend lies in the lower half of the collection of climate model simulations," Michaels and Knappenberger said, "and for several periods it lies very close (or even below) the 2.5th percentile of all the model runs."
Because tolerance.
The same tolerance shown gorebull warming realists (commonly called deniers) right?
Solar scientists predict that the Earth will enter a "mini ice age" around 2030 due to decreased activity by the sun, which will bring with it frigid cold winters. The last time the Earth experienced a similar situation occurred between 1645 and 1715.

How strange that I haven’t heard this in any of the MSM channels. I would think that with their interest in climate they’d be all over this < /sarcasm>
*crickets*
That's due to a couple of things. He was able to buy a boatload of AAPL stock at pennies on the dollar, and he sold his failed TV network to Al Jazeera for a ton of cash.
Shame on the political party hacks for nominating such truly stupid people, people who don’t understand diddly about even basic statistics. If a candidate has not taken at least two courses in statistics and at least one course in elementary logic, he should be sent back to college before running for public office.,
Shame on the AMerican people for giving Al Gore votes. The American people are waking up and Gore ten years later is a laughable, follow the money footnote in history,
If it wasn't for their messianic complexes, progressives would have no personality at all.
How did they let him buy Apple for pennies?
Al Gore's California Estate

Al Gore’s such a jerk.
He uses more energy in a month than most of us use in a year or two... hypocrite, jerk, lowlife... hard to find the right word...
People key in on the million degree claim...but they forget the other false claim, that geothermal energy is a new idea:
“It definitely is, and it’s a relatively new one.”
Geothermal power plants started in California in the 1920’s. The green idiots always think something is new, when in reality it is an old technology with very well known capabilities and limitations. Same goes with electric cars, solar power, you name it. None of this is new.
re: ,....and the world will see and finally know what many of us knew from the beginning, Al Gore is full of Bull ***T!
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? And by “no one” I mean the really important people. Those in political offices, MSM, college professors, Democrat elites, scientists who get their money to further global warming hysteria, ..........
I wish Rubio had spent his Rose Bowl skywriting money on a message about Algore.
Tolerance is what WE are to show THEM.
What THEY show US is what we deserve because we’re all knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing window-licking bible-thumping gun-toting teabaggers.
See how that works?
They put him on the Apple board, and gave him stock options that allowed him to buy 59,000 shares at $7.475/share at a time when a share was selling for about $500.

Al Gore is inconvenient for the health of the world.
