Al Gore, fresh off denying the Climategate emails made any difference, was out hawking more doom and gloom for the world because of global warming. Gore was talking about the polar ice cap on the North Pole and he said that there was a 75% chance that the cap would be gone in 5 to 7 years:
In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.” Times Online UK
Now keep in mind that these are fresh figures. The numbers are just in. This is hot, hot, hot! We have new numbers and there is a 75% chance the north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 to 7 years.
The only problem is that the scientist Gore mentioned says that he does not know where Gore got those numbers and that he [Dr. Maslowski] would not make that kind of prediction.
Gore backtracked on the issue by admitting that the 75% came from a ballpark figure that Maslowski used several years ago.
The numbers are FRESH but he got them several years ago.
This just shows that Gore will say anything to push his agenda. He told us the numbers were fresh but he did not just get them so he deliberately misled people when he said it. He is no different than the scientists who cooked the books on the whole global warming issue.
Gore is hyping global warming so he can make money off it. He will say and do anything in order to sell his product and he has little regard for opposing opinion or, apparently, the truth.
Hey Al, take a look at the south polar cap. I believe it is getting bigger.
