Al Gore has problems with bugs. And not just in his computer models.

Woe is Al. The Goracle has been nailed with another inconvenient untruth by epidemiologist Paul Reiter. Mosquitos.

There's nothing worse than hearing the buzzing of a mosquito in the middle of the night. Except maybe the droning of Al Gore.
There's nothing worse than hearing the buzzing of a mosquito in the middle of the night. Except maybe the droning of Al Gore.

Woe is Al. The Goracle has been nailed with another inconvenient untruth by epidemiologist Paul Reiter. Here’s how the Spectator UK reports the buzz:

I am a scientist, not a climatologist, so I don’t dabble in climatology. My speciality is the epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases. As the film [An Inconvenient Truth] began, I knew Mr Gore would get to mosquitoes: they’re a favourite with climate-change activists. When he got to them, it was all I feared.
In his serious voice, Mr Gore presented a nifty animation, a band of little mosquitoes fluttering their way up the slopes of a snow-capped mountain, and he repeated the old line: Nairobi used to be ‘above the mosquito line, the limit at which mosquitoes can survive, but now…’ Those little mosquitoes kept climbing.

The truth? Nairobi means ‘the place of cool waters’ in the Masai language. The town grew up around a camp, set up in 1899 during the construction of a railway, the famous ‘Lunatic Express’. There certainly was water there — and mosquitoes. From the start, the place was plagued with malaria, so much so that a few years later doctors tried to have the whole town moved to a healthier place. By 1927, the disease had become such a plague in the ‘White Highlands’ that £40,000 (equivalent to about £350,000 today) was earmarked for malaria control. The authorities understood the root of the problem: forest clearance had created the perfect breeding places for mosquitoes. The disease was present as high as 2,500m above sea level; the mosquitoes were observed at 3,000m. And Nairobi? 1,680m.

Al, there’s a mosquito on your face. Let us slap it.

Uh-oh. Al Gore’s north pole predictions go south

Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years. He’s lying.

pinocchio1It’s been a bad couple weeks for Al Gore and it just got worse. A whole lot worse.

The global warming house of cards is falling down, but Gore decided to double down by making some frightening short term predictions about global warming. Bad move for the Goracle.

Here’s how the Times UK reports Al’s embarrassing story:

Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years.

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.”

Mr Gore’s office later admitted that the 75 per cent figure was one used by Dr Maslowksi as a “ballpark figure” several years ago in a conversation with Mr Gore.

So poor Al got caught in two different lies. First he made up a scary quote and got nailed by the scientist he was supposedly quoting. Then he tried to cover his butt by claiming that the information came to him in “a conversation” several years ago, forgetting that he said in his Copenhagen speech that these were “fresh” numbers.

So let’s sum up all the details of the story to this point:

Gore is a liar.

That’s it. That’s the whole summation. What more do you need?

Gore: Thanks for asking me.
Smith: I’m happy to hear it in your voice.
Gore: Well, thank you.

C’mon, Harry, that poem would get a “C” in a junior college English class. (Which, of course, would be better than any grade Gore ever got in college).

Hmmm. Al Gore’s new global warming poem sounds suspiciously like the worst song ever written

And that brings us to Al Gore’s brilliant new poem, Our Choice, which bears a striking resemblence to “A Horse.” Same themes, same images, same style. Which, of course, is completely understandable since Al Gore bears a striking resemblance to the rear end of a horse.

Of course, we realize that “worst song ever written” is subjective. But almost every “worst song” list ever compiled contains America’s “A Horse With No Name” because of its insipid, meaningless lyrics.

And that brings us to Al Gore’s brilliant new poem, Our Choice, which bears a striking resemblence to “A Horse.” Same themes, same images, same style. Which, of course, is completely understandable since Al Gore bears a striking resemblance to the rear end of a horse.

Nevertheless, Gore’s acolytes at Vanity Fair raved about the poem:

“The result is a surprisingly accomplished, nuanced piece of writing. The images Gore conjures in his (untitled) poem turn a neat trick: they are visually specific and emotionally arresting even as they are scientifically accurate.”

Decide for yourself. Listen to “A Horse With No Name” while you read the poem. Six of one, half dozen of another.

“Our Choice”


One thin September soon 

A floating continent disappears 

In midnight sun

Vapors rise as 

Fever settles on an acid sea

Neptune’s bones dissolve

Snow glides from the mountain 

Ice fathers floods for a season 

A hard rain comes quickly

Then dirt is parched 

Kindling is placed in the forest 

For the lightning’s celebration

Unknown creatures 

Take their leave, unmourned 

Horsemen ready their stirrups

Passion seeks heroes and friends

The bell of the city 

On the hill is rung

The shepherd cries 

The hour of choosing has arrived 

Here are your tools

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

2009 hurricane season and Al Gore’s credibility expire simultaneously

Sadly, Gore’s credibility peaked in 2005 and so did hurricanes. The Atlantic hurricane season ended today after producing the fewest named storms in 12 years. It was the first time in three years that no hurricane struck the U.S. mainland.

2009-hurricane-season

An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s Academy Award-winning science fiction movie, attempted to scare the bejeebers out of you by claiming that global warming would inevitably lead to increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

Sadly, Gore’s credibility peaked in 2005 and so did hurricanes.

As Bloomberg reported on December 1:

Atlantic Hurricane Season Has Fewest Named Storms in 12 Years

The Atlantic hurricane season ended today after producing the fewest named storms in 12 years. It was the first time in three years that no hurricane struck the U.S. mainland.

The story continued:

The calmer season was expected and reflected the development of a mid-year eastern Pacific warming pattern called El Nino, said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, in Camp Springs, Maryland.

Unfortunately, the Insurance Journal reported a different reality: In its December (2008) forecast, the Colorado State University team predicted 14 named storms. That included seven hurricanes and three big ass major hurricanes.

Ahhh, but alas. It was not to be.

In reality, the 2009 season that ended as December began saw storms that barely qualified as storms. It featured storms that formed and dissipated so quickly that it’s almost surprising they were even noticed. We even had a couple oddball storms that formed far north of the typical hurricane track. It was the first time in several years in which no hurricanes hit the United States. And we even had a late hurricane that barely qualified as one. To sum it all up, 2009 was one of the quietest hurricane seasons in decades.

And so we simultaneously bid a fond adieu to the 2009 hurricane season and to Albert Gore’s tattered credibility.

We know there will be another hurricane season in 2010, but the return of Gore’s credibility is far less certain.

What does the global warming hockey stick look like when you don’t “hide the decline?”

Michael Mann’s famous “hockey stick” global warming graph is discredited an dhere’s how it looks without his “fiddling.”

global warming hockey stick

briffa_recon

Despite the fact that Penn State professor Michael Mann’s famous “hockey stick” graph was long ago discredited, it still continues to be cited in study after study. In fact, it’s still the basis for the IPCC’s global warming hysteria.

Unfortunately, there’s a damning comment in one of the ClimateGate emails that says: “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

What does that mean? Well, here are two graphs that demonstrate the results of that “trick.” The top one shows Michael Mann’s original “hockey stick” chart complete with his tricks that hide the decline. The bottom one, known as the Briffa Reconstruction, removes the tricks and shows that global warming is, in fact, global cooling.

From now on, let’s just refer to it as “Mann-made” global warming.

Follow the grant money: Hackers take on climate change

Leave it to a bunch of hackers and a Russian server to reveal that a cabal of environmental theorists may be fudging the figures on the amount of climate change that the world is actually enduring.

“Follow the money.”

That’s the motto investigative journalists chant when they’re delving into the lives of Republican politicians or big, nasty corporations. But that motto doesn’t appear to apply to left-leaning figures or causes like heroic climate change theorists or climate change research programs, which, as it happens is the biggest gold rush of grants, donations, and government funding that has ever hit academia since the Ice Age scare of the 1970s.

Leave it to a bunch of hackers and a Russian server to reveal that a cabal of environmental theorists may be fudging the figures on the amount of climate change that the world is actually enduring.

According to the New York Times:

The e-mail messages, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments — in some cases derisive — about specific people known for their skeptical views.

The emails also refer to a “trick” on how climate temperature statistics can be manipulated to show more dramatic increases.

In a 1999 e-mail exchange about charts showing climate patterns over the last two millenniums, Phil Jones, a longtime climate researcher at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, said he had used a “trick” employed by another scientist, Michael Mann, to “hide the decline” in temperatures.

A Penn State researcher we know says a “trick” is not a secret, but a scien-terrific term for solving a problem. And perhaps that problem is the possibility that funds to investigate phony climate-change claims would one day dry up.

Gore resorts to smoke, mirrors and Photoshop trickery in his new science fiction book

Al Gore has lost a little credibility with his attempt to scare the bejeezus out of readers by including a heavily-Photoshopped photo of Earth just inside the front cover.

gore-photoshop

Sure, Al Gore’s made hundreds of millions of dollars with his global warming scam, but you still have to feel sorry for the poor schlub.

America’s book buyers have decided that “Our Choice,” Gore’s latest book, is more science fiction than science. Instead of flying off the shelves in droves, it’s being left on the shelves in droves. Perhaps Gore has lost a little credibility with his attempt to scare the bejeezus out of readers by including a heavily-Photoshopped photo of Earth just inside the front cover.

What kind of PhotoShopping? Let’s just start with these egregious examples:

  • All the Arctic ice and most of Greenland’s ice has mysteriously disappeared
  • Florida is mostly submerged
  • Central America is gone
  • Cuba is gone
  • The hemisphere is bedeviled by four different hurricanes. Simultaneously. The thing is, though, that the one off the coast of mini-Florida is spinning in the wrong direction, meaning that it is actually a Southern Hemisphere hurricane.
  • There is a hurricane down there near the equator off the coast of Peru, which is damn near physically impossible.

To give Gore the benefit of the doubt, we wanted to assume that this artwork was an attempt to demonstrate what could happen if all the ice in the arctic and Greenland were to melt (as is shown in the photo). Unfortunately, for Panama to disappear beneath the waves would require sea levels to rise more than 11,400 feet (slightly more than the 14-inches anticipated by the IPCC report).

That sea level rise would leave only five towns in the entire world above water – Namache Bazaar, Nepal at 11,482 feet; Potosi, Bolivia at 13,420 feet; El Alto, Bolivia at 13,615 feet, Lhasa Tibet at 12,200 feet; and La Rinoconada, Peru at 16,728 feet. Denver, the Mile High City, would be a mile under water.

Sara Palin’s book is a runaway #1 this week on Amazon.com and has been in their Top 100 for 52 days. Glenn Beck’s book is #8 and has been in the Top 100 for 44 days. The global warming-bashing SuperFreakonomics is #10 and has been on the Top 100 for 46 days.

Meanwhile, Gore’s “Our Choice” never reached the Top 20 and has dropped to #123 after just 15 days. Two weeks ago it was #49 and last week it was #59. So it’s dropping even faster than worldwide temperatures and Gore’s credibility.

There’s only one way to reverse this disaster:

More PhotoShopping, Al, more PhotoShopping.

Al Gore demonstrates that he is a scientific genius

It’s a good thing Al Gore won that Nobel Peace Prize, because he disqualified himself for any of the scientific awards with this display of ignorance on the Tonight Show.

It’s a good thing Al Gore won that Nobel Peace Prize, because he disqualified himself for any of the scientific awards with this display of ignorance on the Tonight Show.

Conan: You talk in the book about geothermal energy.
Gore: Yeah, yeah.
Conan: …and that is, as I understand it, using the heat that’s generated from the core of the earth …
Gore: Yeah.
Conan: … to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?
Gore: It definitely is. And it’s a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, ’cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot …

John Derbyshire brought a little reality to Gore’s science fiction in National Review, “The geothermal gradient is usually quoted as 25–50 degrees Celsius per mile of depth in normal terrain (not, e.g., in the crater of Kilauea). Two kilometers down, therefore, (that’s a mile and a quarter if you’re not as science-y as Al) you’ll have an average gain of 30–60 degrees — exploitable for things like home heating, though not hot enough to make a nice pot of tea. The temperature at the earth’s core, 4,000 miles down, is usually quoted as 5,000 degrees Celsius … The temperature at the surface of the Sun is around 6,000 degrees Celsius, while at the center, where nuclear fusion is going on big time, things get up over 10 million degrees.

So the bad news for Gore is that when he says Earth’s core temperature is several million degrees, he’s off by…uhhh…several million degrees.

The good news is that that’s about as close as he’s come on any of his scientific pronouncements.

Why does anyone pay any attention to this moron?

It’s going to be a long, cold winter for Al Gore’s TV network

Current TV, Al Gore’s nearly viewerless cable news channel, is slashing its its staff by 80 people.

But do not make the mistake of thinking the layoffs had anything to do with cutting costs. Hell, no. The company said it’s all part of a reshifting of priorities.

The priorities that reshifted were, of course, the company’s and not the employees’.

Here’s how Current attempted to spin the bad news:

This re-organization was not the result of a need to cut costs. Current Media will have its most profitable year. This financial stability will allow the company to re-allocate resources in order to put further emphasis on areas of the business believed to best position Current Media for continued long-term growth.

Not the most believable spin in the history of American business. As Gawker.com noted, “…when a company cuts 80 employees from a total staff of 380, it’s pretty absurd to claim this 21 percent payroll decrease isn’t about reducing costs, especially after the network cut 60 jobs a year ago.”

In other news, the Obama administration announced that although 80 jobs had been slashed at Current TV, 300 had been saved or created.

All hail the Goracle. All hail the stimulus.

Step One: Help create a phony panic. Step Two: Make a vast fortune selling solutions to that phony panic. Step Three: Laugh your fat ass off.

The New York Times tells the story of Al Gore’s obscene profiteering:

Former Vice President Al Gore thought he had spotted a winner last year when a small California firm sought financing for an energy-saving technology from the venture capital firm where Mr. Gore is a partner.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient. It came to Mr. Gore’s firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s top venture capital providers, looking for $75 million to expand its partnerships with utilities seeking to install millions of so-called smart meters in homes and businesses.

Mr. Gore and his partners decided to back the company, and in gratitude Silver Spring retained him and John Doerr, another Kleiner Perkins partner, as unpaid corporate advisers.

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts. Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.

The story continues:

Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in.

Gore, of course, solemnly says he’s just putting his money where his mouth is.

Which is a lot more difficult than you might imagine when you consider that his head is so far up his ass.

Katie Couric interviews Al Gore, the smartest man in the world who was never president

In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore’s grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush’s transcript from Yale.


Rather than making any smartass remarks about this video, we’ll turn it over to the Washington Post:

“In his sophomore year at Harvard, Gore’s grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush’s transcript from Yale. That was the year Gore’s classmates remember him spending a notable amount of time in the Dunster House basement lounge shooting pool, watching television, eating hamburgers and occasionally smoking marijuana. His grades temporarily reflected his mildly experimental mood, and alarmed his parents. He received one D, one C-minus, two C’s, two C-pluses and one B-minus, an effort that placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.”

The BBC reports a story that guaranteed to be under-reported in the United States:

“Gore explored new studies – published only last week – that show methane and black carbon or soot had a far greater impact on global warming than previously thought. Carbon dioxide – while the focus of the politics of climate change – produces around 40% of the actual warming. Gore acknowledged to Newsweek that the findings could complicate efforts to build a political consensus around the need to limit carbon emissions.”

So now it turns out the science really is settled and the results of the latest computer models prove exactly we suspected:

Al Gore is a lying sack of excrement.

No hurricanes, Al. Just another beautiful day in paradise.

Here’s how the Florida State University Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Prediction Studies reports the details:

The North Atlantic hurricane season has not produced a storm in over 3-weeks and, if no more develop, the season overall would rank as the slowest since the El Nino year of 1997. Hurricanes Bill and Fred accounted for over 82% of the Accumulated Cyclone Energy [ACE**] — a metric that combines intensity, duration, and frequency of hurricanes and tropical storms during a year. The remaining storms were weak, rather short-lived and unremarkable. Indeed, the Accumulated Cyclone Energy [ACE] of 44 ranks among the slowest during the past half-century.

Sure, say the skeptics, hurricanes may be down in the North Atlantic, but what about the rest of the world. Surely, frequency and intensity have increased elsewhere.

We hate to be bearers of bad news, but no, that’s not the case.
