Nobel laureate Al Gore predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free on December 10, 2014, but that doesn’t appear to have occurred, Arctic sea ice extent has been at or near a decadal high every day for the past two months.
If you look closer you can also see that the Arctic was not ice-free on December 10, and that the forecast only missed by 170,000 Manhattans of ice.

A Nobel Peace Prize,,, for waging a War on an enemy that does Not exist ! What next ?
I just hope some day, they make a movie about this travesty ; ” Fifty Shades of Deception ”
OR ” If You Repeat A Lie Often Enough “, no, no that’s been used before in Germany…
The Reference is to the Nobel Peace Prize and Al Gore’s Predictions
I can’t do the math. How many Manhattans of ice is a Mount Everest, and how many Hiroshimas does it take to melt it?
And let’s pronounce Hiroshima the Tennessee way: Hir – OH – sh’ma to sound extra ignorant.
So you have a problem with us fine folks in Tn? You left a few things out of that statement so let me help you with that.
Bible thumping, gun slinging, tea party white kkk racist, dog fighting trailer trash.
There, now everyone knows exactly how you feel
No, they just pronounce Hiroshima wrong. The Japanese say:
He-lo-she-maaa, not Hir-oh-SHI-ma or especially not Hir-OH-sh’ma, the Tennessee way
Having worked in Japan I can attest to the fact that it is a very rare American who pronounces ANY Japanese word correctly.
Niel,
I can’t even pronounce German or French correctly! My Husband however does well pronouncing lots of different languages including Chinese. — Comes from being a ham operator as a little kid and being exposed to a heck of a lot of languages at a young age combined with a natural aptitude.
I read somewhere you have to learn the sounds before the age of around 12 (puberty?) to be able to speak a language without accent
Niel…that’s what my sister-in-law says, too. (She is Japanese.)
I used to give eye exams in a Japanese optical store in the 1980’s in NYC. All the patients were Japanese, and I learned to pronounce some words. They don’t say sayonara anything like we think they do. They say Sa YO na LAAA. To this day Japanese people are shocked when I say sayonara the right way.

Gore’s Law
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gore%27s_Law
As an online climate change debate grows longer, the probability that denier arguments will descend into attacks on Al Gore approaches 1.
The problem with attacking Al Gore is that he has absolutely eff all to do with the science of climate change, no matter his carbon footprint, PMRC involvement, Manbearpig, etc. You really can’t find a better instance of poisoning the well.
Actually we really really try not to think about Al Gore especially if we are women.

Unfortunately it is Al Gore that fired Dr Happer.
Dr Happer, who was the Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy at the time, says he was fired by Gore in 1993 for not going along with Gore’s scientific views on ozone and climate issues. “I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy,” So Al Gore has been in on the UN’s CAGW Hoax from the beginning. The USA signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change on 12/06/92 but it was not ratified until 21/03/94.
Senator Tim Wirth (D) and James Hansen had already played their Dirty Tricks on Congress in the summer of ’88 so it was very important to make sure the POLITICAL message remained on target so the World Bank’s and the UN’s agenda – sucking more money from the poor and middle class while crippling the USA – could go forward. Since CAGW is political and not scientific you can not leave the lying cheating politicians out of the picture.
Dr. William Happer is one of America’s preeminent physics experts on atmospheric CO2. He is a Professor at the Department of Physics at Princeton University and was Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy from 1990 to 1993. Dr Happer has published over 200 scientific papers, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Can you see now why it was imperative for Al Gore to try and silence Dr Happer?
I had the pleasure of attending one of Dr Happer’s lectures for physics grad students a few months ago. He used REAL WORLD data and completely kills the CAGW scare story.
Happer is not a climate scientist. He has not published a single peer-reviewed paper in climate science. His one paper on climate was published by the George Marshall Institute
From his homepage at Princeton
“I am interested in the physics of spin-polarized atoms and nuclei, and in the application of these spin-polarized systems in other areas. Together with Professor Cates, research associates and graduate students at Princeton and collaborators from various medical schools, I have been working on ways to use polarized 3He and 129Xe for magnetic resonance imaging of lungs and perhaps other organs.
In most of our work we use circularly polarized laser photons to pump angular momentum into electron spins, and we use hyperfine interactions to transfer angular momentum from the polarized electrons to the nuclei. In appropriate containers, the polarized nuclei can be stored for hours or even days with little loss of spin. Much of our present work is aimed at understanding the slow loss of spin which occurs in these containers. The physics of this process is not well understood, especially in the case of surface interactions.”
From his testimony to the US Senate
“My name is William Happer, and I am the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics at
Princeton University. I am not a climatologist, but I don’t think any of the other witnesses
are either. “
So?

James Hansen
B.A. in Physics and Mathematics with highest distinction in 1963, an M.S. in Astronomy in 1965 and a Ph.D. in Physics, in 1967
He ain’t a “trained Climate Scientist”
…….
Dr. Happer is a TRAINED physicist working on the physics of CO2 in the atmosphere from actual satellite data. His recent work with REAL DATA from satellites has just shot big holes in the physics model of CO2 IR absorption that is the basis of the IPCC climate models. The REAL DATA shows the THEORETICAL model used is WRONG. PERIOD
“It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.” – Richard P. Feynman
Dr. Happer’s EXPERIMENTAL DATA shows the THEORY is WRONG. It does not matter if he is an janitor all that matters is the DATA says the theory is wrong.
If we were dealing with science instead of vested interest politics that would be the end of CAGW and it would be another discarded theory. Unfortunately there is be bucks to be made from the CAGW con and until the rich are finished fleecing the poor they will keep the CAGW con on life support.
One hopes, the likes of Dr Happer are rewarded with a day of justice; once this political farce of CAGW is fully exposed. No doubt, Al Gore used his public profile to get this Gravy Train of CAGW under way ; he stoked the propaganda machine & rammed obstacles ; Gore is as guilty as sin !
He and Maurice Strong and their buddies are also wealthy as sin thanks to the money they have siphoned off the productive class.
Just exactly how are they doing this? The CCX closed in 2010.
You missed all the tax payer funds funneled into wind and solar ‘investments’ that have failed?
My brother after pulling a con on investors walked away with 5 million when he sold his privately held corporation. (Last I heard the investors were suing.) Maurice Strong with the help of Al Gore pulled the same trick with Molten Metal Technologies. (The investors sued) Now you have lots of corporations formed using tax payer loans, then gullibles are lured into buying the stock and the initial players get out before the house of cards collapse.
I understand California is trying to make public pension funds buy green energy.
Please point me to something solid that substantiates your claims about Strong and Gore.
I did find

I really don’t keep track of Gore
But there is this:
Speaking fees @ $100K a pop: (wwwDOT)forbes.com/sites/nickmorgan/2013/11/14/how-much-can-you-charge-for-speaking/
Of course that is a pittance. Gore’s real profit maker is as a green tech ‘advisor’ – Hyping Green technology.
However at this point Gore has taken his profit and run.
Now thatr Al Gore has shed all his green energy stock he has moved into Natural Gas. Of course Natural Gas is what Shell VP, Ged Davis, IPCC lead author on scenarios was pushing as a replacement for coal so this is no surprise.

Money is an obvious one ; one can add contempt for democracy plus the damage to Science as an institution,,, it’s beyond immoral ; it’s a crime !
So you are jealous of a couple of successful businessmen. Strong came from a poverty stricken family. I thought he would be a poster boy for the “Horatio Alger” story.
I really do not care whether or not Strong is wealthy or poor what I do care about is his statements like:
“It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class, involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable.”
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”
When one of the commissioners of the World Commission on Global Governance says stuff like that. When the Founder of the UN foundation says: “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
I take that to mean they either want to kill me off outright or enslave me. They certainly do not want me or mine to have the same access to wealth and prosperity they did. So that makes them an ENEMY.
If you are foolish enough to support these men then all I have to say is go from us. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you wore the semblance of a man!
“Nobel laureate Al Gore predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free on December 10, 2014, ”
No, he did not. Watch and listen to the video.
He quoted the Maslowski study, which most oceanographers disputed. “in as little as 7 years” is not the same as ice free on December 10,2014.
BTW – The North West Passage in the September 2013 looked like this

Jack… when you’re looking for a loop hole in semantics… that’s desperate & arrogant. In effect Al Gore said ” within 7 years ” and stated this on Dec 10th 2007 . The inference is clear and it makes little difference whether it’s interim assessed or finally taken 7 years to the very day ::
Arctic has Not been Ice free ; the fact it Never happened at any stage ( past 7 years ) it is clearly a Failed Prediction no matter how you want to ” rewrite history ” ; Al Gore presented the doom !!
BTW , Arctic Sea Ice Continues At A Decadal High ( as per heading here ; despite your beliefs ).
