Amazing that not a single, non-conservative professional journalist in America has the guts to take on Al Gore's continuous lies and the fortune he's accumulated thanks to his global warming lies and propaganda:
FORMER US vice-president Al Gore got rich by predicting global warming doom — but also got reckless.RELATED: The Turning Point: New Hope for the Climate
His film, An Inconvenient Truth, was found by a British judge to have nine significant errors, and Gore may have become even more unreliable.
Here are just some of the astonishingly false claims Gore made in a lecture last week to Climate Reality Project presenters in Melbourne.
“You sometimes hear this silliness where people say, well, global warming has stopped ... But the last decade has been by all odds the hottest decade ever measured.”
In fact, the atmosphere has not warmed for some 16 years.
“Super typhoon Haiyan [last year] became the most powerful, the most destructive ocean-based storm over to make landfall ... These events are becoming more common.”
In fact, the Philippine Met Agency says Haiyan was not even the Philippines’ most powerful typhoon. It had wind gusts at landfall of 275km/h — the same as Typhoon Sening in 1970, but less than the 320km/h of Typhoon Reming in 2006.
Haiyan killed about 6000 people, but the world’s 35 deadliest typhoons killed between 12,000 and 500,000.
Nor are cyclones and hurricanes becoming more common. Geophysical Research Letters in 2009 reported “no net change” in the number of cyclones hitting the Philippines, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said worldwide data over a century “suggests slight decreases in the frequency of tropical cyclones making landfall in the North Atlantic and the South Pacific”.
“[Cyclone Yasi in 2001 was] one of the most powerful cyclones to hit Queensland ... These kind of events are happening with increased frequency all over the world.”
In fact, even the Australian Climate Commission, led by alarmist Tim Flannery, admitted Yasi and its floods “were … not the result of climate change”.
The Bureau of Meteorology adds: “The total number of [Australian] cyclones appears to have decreased to the mid-1980s, and remained nearly stable since.” Worldwide, cyclones have not increased.
“The warmer temperatures ... make the ocean-based storms more powerful.”
But the IPCC says “confidence in large scale changes in the intensity of extreme extratropical cyclones since 1900 is low”.
How does Gore get away with this?
