Al Gore’s Inconvenient Reality
The climate warrior’s horror flick gets a giant F for accuracy.
May 24 will mark 10 years since Al Gore’s climate horror flick “An Inconvenient Truth” made its debut. The fact we’re able to write about it now is good news, because obviously the world, contrary to the film’s prognostications, hasn’t imploded (not in regards to the climate, anyway). But scientists and wannabe political superstars rarely grade their own work. Thankfully, third-party investigators do, and reporter Michael Bastasch re-watched the film to vet the claims Gore made in his farcical Nobel Prize-winning project. A decade later, here’s the reality:
- “Kilimanjaro Still Has Snow”
- “Gore Left Out The 15-Year ‘Hiatus’ In Warming”
- “The Weather Hasn’t Gotten Worse”
- “The North Pole Still Has Ice”
- “A ‘Day After Tomorrow’-Style Ice Age Is Still A Day Away”
You can rummage the thorough details here. Complimenting Bastasch’s work, Steven Hayward adds, “Gore made much of Greenland’s ice sheet melting so rapidly you’d think the continent was a grilled cheese sandwich in a pizza oven. Science magazine reports this week that the interior of Greenland’s enormous ice mass appears to be … completely stable.” On Wednesday, a headline posted by the University of Illinois read, “Study finds ice isn’t being lost from Greenland’s interior.” This is Al Gore’s genuine inconvenient reality.
