Al Gore made a mistake so the whole body of climate change science should come tumbling down? I don’t think so.
Your never ending litany of BS anecdotal evidence is not science.
The actual science is out there and easy to access. Start with the NASA site.
OK, let us drop the inane cartoons, ansd discuss the issues.. First off we must admit, that like many Democrats, Al Gore will lie in an effort to
embellish his credibility. He simply lied about projected ice melt in order to promote alarm..since honest facts won't do it.
It seems I recall a time when he claimed he and his wife Tipper, were the model for a classmate'smovie called "Love Story"..which was denied.
It makes little difference now., since Tipper is just a memory for him.
Of course, he has leftist defenders who seem to be no more gifted in veracity, than he. Check this essay written by one of his ardent supporters in 2009.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2009/12/al_gore_trips_on_artic_ice_mis.html From the article;
"Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five 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." [/color]
Then his source admits Al was lying:
" "It's unclear to me how this figure was arrived at," Dr Maslowski said. "I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this."
Mr Gore's office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a "ballpark figure" several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore...
...Perhaps Mr Gore had felt the need to gild the lily to buttress resolve. But his speech was roundly criticised by members of the climate science community. "This is an exaggeration that opens the science up to criticism from sceptics," Professor Jim Overland, a leading oceanographer at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said." So the leftist "expert" Gore sourced from in 1999 explained Al's mistake further, proving that the left as we know, are "expert" prevaricators !
Gore's trusted source said Al was mistaken...al the ice wouldn't be melted before 2020;
" Dr Maslowki, who works at the US Naval Postgraduate School in California, said that his latest results give a six-year projection for the melting of 80 per cent of the ice, but he said he expects some ice to remain beyond 2020". "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." (Sir Walter Scott)
