Keep in mind that five years ago, Al Gore was already preaching that the North Pole could be gone in five years. Now, with this year’s perfectly healthy and growing ice cap at the North Pole, his schtick is, “No, I mean, the NEXT five years.”
I believe we call that “shifting the goal-posts,” a tradtion which the Progs have honed to a fine art.
Here’s a sky-is-falling article stating that “scientists believe” that the sea ice could be gone by SEPTEMBER! OH NOZE!! Except that, the article was written LAST summer. And it didn’t happen. Not even close. Seriously, you’d think this stuff came from The Onion.
For the record, it was 58 degrees here in Stuttgart this morning. In July. So, how much again was it that Al Gore makes it speaking fees? $175,000 a pop, to say iggerant shit like this:
Mr Gore admitted that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as that from Hitler.
Conflict of interest? Nahhh…nothing to see here. Move along.
Another thought: Keep in mind, if the entire polar ice cap melted, sea level would actually DROP. The polar ice cap is like a giant ice cube in a glass of ice tea. When the ice melts, does the glass overlfow? Nope. But according to Al Gore and Co., entire cities would be flooded, millions homeless, aaaarruuuggghjh!11!1! Sorry, Al. The math don’t add up.
In other news…
You KNOW it’s bad when the government actually admits that it’s the government’s fault.
