Al Gore demands that manbearpig be stopped.

Al Gore has been on a roll. Just a few days ago he told a national television audience that the below the crust of the earth their are temperatures of “millions of the degrees.” The reality is that even at the core of the earth, temperatures don’t exceed a few thousand. He was off by a few orders of magnitude.

Last week he dismissed in an article in Slate he said that all of the leaked CRU emails are at lest ten years old. Here is Albert regarding the Climategate emails.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. I haven’t read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.

Wrong again Al. It wasn’t a slip of the tongue either. He repeated the claim a couple of times.

So an e-mail exchange more than 10 years ago including somebody’s opinion that a particular study isn’t any good is one thing, but the fact that the study ended up being included and discussed anyway is a more powerful comment on what the result of the scientific process really is.

And…

What we’re seeing is a set of changes worldwide that just make this discussion over 10-year-old e-mails kind of silly.

Gore is, yet again, talking out of his ample ass. The most recent emails in Climategate were from November 2009… a month ago here in the real world. In fact, there are dozens more within the last last year.

He ain’t done yet. This week he quotes a scientist and tells us that Arctic ice will be gone within five years. The warmist scientist he quoted calls bullshit.

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.”

However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast.

“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.”

None of this, of course, matters. Al Gore isn’t in the business of science. He is a politician and he is not bound by reality or truth. Gore’s shtick is to pretend to be a scientists and that takes in a lot of people. Whether he is claiming to have created the Internet or pulling “facts” out of his ass, it is just stagecraft. Al Gore is a master of science fiction.
