Get Ready… Junk Scientist Al Gore Predicted North Pole Will Be Completely Ice Free By Next Year

ManBearPig
If you thought that this was an unusually harsh winter just hang in there… By next year the North Pole will be completely ice free.

Junk scientist and frozen snake oil salesman Al Gore predicted this in 2009:

From the video:

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/12/14/COP15_Gore_…

Former Vice President Al Gore references computer modeling to suggest that the north polar ice cap may lose virtually all of its ice within the next seven years. “Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” says Gore.

The Goracle made the same prediction to a German audience in 2008. He told them that “the entire North Polarized cap will disappear in 5 years.”

5 years?… What will Santa do?

But, this wasn’t the first time Gore made his ice-free prediction. Gore’s been predicting this since 2007. That means that by next year the North Pole should be completely melted.

So don’t worry about the record cold outside… According to junk scientist Gore the north polar ice cap will be completely ice free by next year.
We’re doomed.

Looking at Al Gores past predictions, I think that this latest proclamation virtually guarantees record ice at the North Pole.

Aha! This is much better than the 30 – 50 year predictions of gloom by these knuckleheads, as they won’t be around to receive deserved ridicule for their failed prophesies.

But next year? Bring it on Algore! This is a new information age, and this one will come back to BITE YOU!

I think it is more likely that Algoreythm will weigh 300 lbs and have wasted away into senility by 2012.

I agree he should be jailed for the farce he has put forth. At the very least his money should be confiscated and used to repay the country some of what he has cost us.

I guess the Chicago Climate Exchange is not to happy that AlGore’s prediction is a bit off. A good question for AlGore is how much money is he loosing every year the exchange is not functioning?

With the technology and information available today pulling the wool over peoples eyes is much harder.

And the democraps now want to control the internet and bring back the Fairness Doctrine. Is it any wonder American’s won’t trust their government, republicans and democraps?

Heck, I live in Michigan. I’d be happy if my front yard was ice and snow free. If we don’t get some melting soon, there won’t be anywhere for the snowplow guy to put the snow from my driveway. The pile of snow is taking up almost my entire front yard, and its peak is as high as the roof of my porch. Don’t know if this language is okay for this site, but Al Gore can bite me.

Oh and I have a lovely gas guzzling jeep. It has gotten me through knee deep snow in my driveway when the plow hasn’t made it. You couldn’t pay me to buy a volt.

The sad part of this scam is there is still to this day professors and so called scientists preaching this cult BS. Not one MSM outlet will expose algore for the fraud he has perpetrated on the world and especially the children. This man should be indicted and tried as a outright crook that he is.

the daily low temp in fairbanks Ak is around -10 to -40 and fairbanks is several hundred miles south of the pole. I don’t know its been a long time since i got out of school, but i seem to remember water starts freezing at 32 f, if thats still the case how can ice melt. take this phony and strap him to an iceberg just in his thong underwear, that almost made me vomit thinking about see the goracle in a thong.

Cowboy Logic

The Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a “more humane” solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U.S. Forest Service.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.

Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the
conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said; “Son, I
don’t think you understand our problem here… these coyotes
ain’t f*ckin’ our sheep… they’re eatin’ ‘em!” The meeting never
really got back to order. . .

ROTFLMBO!!

Hang on now…but Al Gore just might be right this time. The North Pole could be ice-free next year JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 1958 when the nuclear sub USS Skate surfaced there and it was ICE-free at that time in the summer. Go here for the story and photos.

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/04/26/ice-at-the-north-pole-in-1958-not-so-thick/

You see not only did the brilliant AlGoracle invent the intertubes and only he knows that the earth’s center is really millions of degrees or that the oceans will rise 20-30 feet; but he’s also a time traveler you see Or maybe the youngest sailor to ever to serve on a nuclear sub back in 1958 when he was what seven? But it was all a hush-hush secret mission so he can’t talk about it (except with the “special voices” only he hears)

This fool should be pointed at and ridiculed whenever he leaves his house; correction: one of his many energy guzzling mansions

When these jerk-offs start behaving like their is an AGW problem the MAYBE I’ll listen but I’m certain that’s a choice I’ll NEVER have to make

wanumba commented:

WEll, yeah! AL Gore in his ever so carefully parsed statement should be 100% correct:

look at it:
“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” says Gore.”

Let’s see: “virtually” “75% chance” “suggest” “5-7 years” “could be” “some of” are ALL lawyer-vetted weasel words.

But the dead giveaway:

” during SOME of the SUMMER months.”

As it is EVERY YEAR in SUMMER.

Now we SUSPECT that AL Gore COULD be the greediest SOB huckster on the planet, but the real worry is HOW STUPID and UNEDUCATED are those who hand over their money to him and push crushing TAXES on everyone else based on such “insights?”

THAT’s the TRULY SCARY stufff, not any so-called “global warming.”

For whatever this is worth……..What would a person who reads body language say about Al? I counted 6 times in the short clip where he touches and rubs some part of his face. It looks awkward – like a nervous, self-conscious gesture. It seems similar to what a kid would do who just got caught stealing something and has to make up a good story.

Charlie commented:

Well, then I guess Al’s regretting that $1,500.00 a month energy bill he ran up. If only he turned off 2 or 3 hundred light bulbs in his house maybe there would still be ice at the North Pole.

I just counted again- it’s actually seven.
#35 February 13, 2011 at 9:23 pm

It’s happened before and it can happen again. If Al predicts an ice free N pole often enough, he may be right at least once. Not likely, but it could happen.

Point of information. It does not matter that they wear stetsons. Guys that run sheep are called shepherds.

Oh crap, based on Gore’s track record, this means we’ll have July blizzards in North Carolina in 2012. I have a family reunion planned for then, so now we’ll be cross-country skiing instead of swimming.

The IPCC thought they were being clever by holding their winter meeting in Cancun, now 80-100% of Mexico’s produce crop has been killed by frost.
