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."

Perhaps Rush can invite A;gore to come on the air and apologize for “p;auing On Our Fears??

FUAG, you money grubbing SOB!
Like all lefty alarmists Algore got rich perpetrating a scam. Of course Gore will contend that governments and industry around the world implemented actions that slowed the rate of global warming, but we’re still not out of the woods and more needs to be done. While he says this aloud to an audience in his mind he’s thinking ka-ching, ka-ching! More money for me. Wasn’t Algore the one who publicly predicted the Arctic Ocean would be ice free too?
In other words they were off three standard deviations.
Make up a dartboard, label the sectors hot, normal, cold, have a monkey throw a dart at it.
More accurate 97.5% of the time, and we will be able to devote political energy on more important matters.
Such as demographics.
As I like to call it, “Gore-Bull” warming.
And what many of us knew from the beginning - nothing will ever happen to him because of his lies.
Because tolerance.
The world might NOT know - even though they should...
The press works as the thug arm of the Democrat Party. They don't share things that make Democrats look bad. This story will NOT be covered on NBC, in the MSM, New York Times or Washington Post. News Bias: keeping the lid on democrat silliness and lies...
Due to the gays at McDonalds I temporarily suspended my Burger King boycott. While at Burger King I overheard two random old guys talking about how the weather is just way more extreme than it used to be when they were kids. But then the said how we used to get more snow in the past and this winter was mild and light on snow. So this mild, light snow winter is extreme? The brainwashing is complete.
So tell me, Al, how’s your 100 ft. long solar-powered houseboat doing? Is that where you are living now that the rising sea level has washed away your mansions in California and Tennessee?
Meanwhile, he's dumb as sh*t in the real sciences.
Here he was off by 'only' a factor between 4 and 5 HUNDRED!
(several million vs 7230 degrees F)

CONAN O'BRIEN, HOST: ...to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?
AL GORE: It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...

The physics and astronomy website Physlink contests Gore's absurd claim:
It is approximately 4000 degC [7230 degF] at the centre of the Earth.
Ding...ding...ding...his time is up.
Yes, we all know it’s bogus “science”, we all know he’s a corrupt Leftist, we all know it’s a con job.
AND WE ALL KNOW that nothing bad will happen to him, or any other Leftist.
Prove me wrong.
The planet is still here. Al Gore is still here but my money is on the planet outlasting him.
LOL! I was just talking about this yesterday. Is Rush going to invited the Al Gore to explain himself? BTW is anyone is interested, here is an Obama countdown clock.........
Makes a mess.
:-)
Same
He hasn’t held a job since 2001 yet his net worth has risen to $300 million.
