The scariest story told this Halloween week had nothing to do with ghosts, goblins, or zombies, though it was certainly dripping with huge gobs of Gore. In fact -- the most terrifying words screeched in the past seven days came from the master of environmental horror himself.
According to Arab Internet services company Maktoob.com, our favorite greenhouse gasbag spent Tuesday afternoon outlining the reasons why attendees of the Leaders in Dubai Business Forum must change their wicked gas-guzzling ways:
“The North Pole ice cap is 40 percent gone already and could be completely and totally gone in the winter months in the next 5 to 10 years.”
Such thaw, cautioned Gore, “could increase sea levels by 67 metres” and that “each one metre of sea level rise (SLR) is associated with 100 million climate refugees in the world.” That’s up a full 47 meters from the already horrifying predictions he’s made previously.
Incidentally, a climate refugee (or “environmentally induced migrant” as the UN would prefer we refer to them) is a person forced to move to a new country by global warming related environmental disasters. Where the whacky climate refugees per meter SLR figure came from is anybody’s guess.
Anyway, if my math is correct, the 2007 Nobel laureate effectively predicted that by 2020, the oceans could rise 220 feet and 6,700,000,000 people will be forced to wander the planet in search of a less soggy domicile.
And the journey won’t be easy, what with much of the planet underwater and its entire population -- which Gore’s 6.7 billion amounts to -- vying for whatever dry land remains available.
But before we pack our tents, inflatable rafts, and foreign-language dictionaries, let’s take a closer look at the green Stephen King’s figures.

Well they conducted a real world test and displayed the pictures of it at the link I provided. No one is seriously arguing basic physics that sea levels wouldn’t rise if the caps melted. The problem is they are not rising and certainly not by 200 feet.
“Arab Internet services company Maktoob.com” ??
Have thought for years that Arabs were bankrolling this entire enviro hysteria so that we would stop drilling and producing our own and have to turn to them.
Isn’t it amazing that this clown was THAT close to being President of the United States...
Doesn't the ice pack covering the North Pole displace the sea water it floats on?
When are they going to commit this guy?
Lessee—the Artic ice is 40% gone(lie #1) and the sea level has not risen.
The loss of the remaining 60% will cause a 227 foot rise in the sea level(lie #2).
There is not enough water IN THE ENTIRE WORLD to make this happen.
Not only is the emperor naked, he is a complete mental case as well.
We got something even worse now!
Well see, living 5 miles from the coast in San Diego is gonna pay off for me.
If you turned those Palm trees opposite ways, they could almost be ‘kicking’ each other, lol! A double kick too!
Lol, good stuff. Gore threads bring out the graphics.
Farewell, UK, we hardly knew ye.
Not to mention half of Europe, half of Latin America, 1/3 of Australia, almost all of the (currently) really populated parts of Asia, half of Alaska, a large chunk of California and most of the American South and East.
Anyway, I’ll catch you later. I’m off to Tennessee to look at some oceanfront property...
Gore is ONE reason why I won’t buy ANY Apple products , since he is one the Board Of Directors .
Well yeah and even if the 40% loss was true since there has been no appreciable sea level rise it kind of follows the remaining loss of the icecap wouldn’t rise the sea either. Somehow no one brought that inconvenient truth up though.
what a kook...nice house in Belle Meade though

Not much else funny in the news these days
But Copemhagen is ahead -
The global welfare scheme
Actually, I suspect it won't be too long before the family decides to get control of the hundreds of millions of dollars by having him, umm non compo mentis, and locking him in the attic.
Could be the very best ever of court TV.
