Thursday marks the 10th anniversary of former Vice President Al Gore’s prediction that within five to seven years, it was likely that the North Polar Ice Cap would be completely free of ice during some months of the summer.
The Gateway Pundit blog recalled Gore’s remarks to the United Nations Climate Change in Copenhagen on Dec. 13, 2009, referencing computer models by scientists.
“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” said Gore.
However, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute, there has been no trend in Arctic sea ice for the past 12 years.
In January 2006, Gore promoted warnings of a “true planetary emergency” due to global warning, stating that “within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return.”
Nevertheless Gore is still widely regarded as the Paul Revere of global warming. He will host a 24-hour broadcast special on climate change Dec. 20 featuring celebrities such as Moby and the Goo Goo Dolls. “24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves” will be televised in more than 125 countries.
Gore’s 2006 Oscar-winning film “An Inconvenient Truth” spread his message of impending global cataclysm. But a decade after it debuted, the Blaze found that eight of his key dire predictions didn’t come to pass:

“.... the “Denier’s” side of the story....” They have no side. LOL!
I started laughing when I read your comment - then thought 'oh God, that's possible'...
Gore probably has Michael Moore's blessing too.
btt
“Due to the presence of these weasel words, his statement means nothing.”
But what were the papers’ headlines screaming back then?
The belief that a “point-of-no-return” even exists assumes that the climate of the Earth is dominated by positive feedback mechanisms and that we are forever on a precipice or delicate balance that could result at any moment in a catastrophic latch-up condition that will destroy all life.
The strongest argument against that idea is that latch-up hasn’t happened yet. There were times when atmospheric CO2 was TEN TIMES current levels and latch-up didn’t happen back then.
Clearly global climate is more dominated by negative-feedback mechanisms which tend to stabilize the system and help it recover from perturbing events like volcano eruptions, asteroid impacts and solar flares which were MASSIVE events that occurred without causing the Earth to fall off its “delicate” balance.
Algore is a lying flim-flam man who is scaring people just to line his own pockets.
Al is not the stupid one. It is his flock who is stupid. But then again, I used to be a heathen too.
Al Gore is also one of the main reasons for the explosion is sales of yellow safety vests in Paris and spreading throughout Europe...
