Climate Fraud: Al Gore resurfaces in an op-ed to say that nobody's perfect, everybody makes mistakes and climate change is still real. And he has some oceanfront property in the Himalayas to sell you.
If hyperbole and chutzpah had a child, it would be the opening paragraph of Gore's op-ed in Sunday's New York Times. Gore surfaced from the global warming witness-protection program to opine that despite admissions of error and evidence of fraud by various agencies, we still face "an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it."
Perhaps he's trying to protect his investments as he knows them, for he is heavily involved in enterprises that deal with carbon offsets and green technology. If the case for climate change is shown to be demonstrably false, a lot of his green evaporates like moisture from the ocean.
Interestingly, it's that moisture from the ocean that he uses to defend his failed hypothesis. The blizzards that have buried the Northeast, he writes, are proof of global warming because record evaporation due to warming is what produces record snows. Except that supporters of his theory not long ago argued exactly the opposite.
He writes that we should "not miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm." He should explain why last year Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., warned that lack of snow in the mountains was threatening California's water supply.

“he’s like Ahab for Heavens sake”
LOL, Gore has gone Ahab. Great visual. This would make a funny cartoon.
Manbearpig.
Half man.
Half bear.
Half pig.
Calamity indeed...
His dumbest statement was,
"You can't wish global warming away!"
Sure we can.
Imaginary things can be wished away at will.
And wished back into existence just as easily.
Just saying...
Love this comment made to the article...
“Mr. Gore is simply referring to the new field of study called flex science. It is adaptable to match the results sought.”
You know, I dont necessarily disbelieve in the entire idea of AGW, I am a skeptic. However, the proponents have shot themselves in the foot by claiming that everything was related to Global Warming. Hurricanes, high temps, baldness. Well now that hurricanes are less numerous and severe, temps have leveled off and we have record cold days, and people are growing hair again, what do they have left to say? Oh sure, they try to modify their original message, but to the casual skeptic who _might_ have been amenable to having his mind changed, this crap will only harden them against the Global Warming Hysteria.
Yeah, I can see him as Ahab on some leaky, storm-tossed old barge shouting about ‘’Thar she blows, Global warming!!’’
