Re: Five Ways We Know Al Gore's Been Running A Global Warming Racket

Fraud: Ten years ago Monday, Al Gore said we had only a decade 
left to save the planet from global warming. But Earth has been 
doing just fine. Why do we listen to this man?

While preening at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2006 
during the premiere of his "An Inconvenient Truth" fib-umentary, 
Gore made his grand declaration. The former vice president said, 
in the words of the AP reporter taking down his story, that 
"unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken 
within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no 
return." In Gore's own words, he claimed we were in "a true 
planetary emergency."

Ten years later, he's probably hoping that everyone has 
forgotten about his categorical statement.

The terrible truth for Gore is that there is no planetary 
emergency. Not one of the dire predictions he and the rest of 
the alarmist community made has come to pass. In fact, there is 
plenty of evidence that they have been running a racket. Here's 
how we know:

One, Earth hasn't warmed in nearly 20 years. Yes, 2015 
supposedly "smashed" the previous temperature record. But 
actually it was the third-warmest year on record — or maybe "not 
even close to the hottest year on record," says James Taylor of 
the Heartland Institute.

The global average temperature, a devilish thing to determine 
anyway, depends on what temperature readings are being used and 
who is "adjusting" the data to fit their political purposes. The 
scientific community cannot be trusted to provide honest 
numbers. And 2015 was, after all, an El Nino year. Higher 
temperatures, with no link to man's activities, were expected.

Two, predictions that climate change — the rebranding of "global 
warming" when it turned out that predicted warming wasn't 
happening — would cause catastrophic weather damage haven't 
panned out.

German insurance giant Munich Re says losses from natural 
disasters were lower in 2015 than in 2014 and lowest since 2009. 
The facts are sharply at odds with Gore's 2012 claim that "dirty 
weather" caused by "dirty fossil fuel" has created "extreme 
weather" that "is happening all over the world with increasing 
frequency."

Three, despite all the self-congratulatory international 
conferences and pseudo-agreements, the world has done nothing to 
"fight global warming."

He cannot claim that his deadline has been extended because some 
governments have forced their citizens to cut carbon dioxide 
emissions. CO2 levels keep climbing and now exceed 401 parts per 
million in the atmosphere. It is simply not the dangerous 
greenhouse gas we've repeatedly been told it is.

Four, in the mid- to late-2000s, Gore repeatedly predicted that 
an ice-free Arctic Ocean was coming soon. But as usual, his 
fortune-telling was wrong. By 2014, Arctic ice had grown thicker 
and covered a greater area than it did when he made his 
prediction.

Five, Gore's movie, which somehow won an Oscar, was found by a 
British judge to contain nine errors. The judge said it could 
not be shown to students unless it included a notice pointing 
out the errors.

Gore will never apologize for peddling deceit, never admit he 
was wrong. Best thing to do is ignore him.
