— Purple Avenger The London Time reports:
...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.”...Dr. Maslowski responded:
“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,”AlGore's disingenuous scare mongering propagandistic fabrications? Leni Riefenstahl tweets: "Definitely a solid B+ effort on Gore's part, but I could have done it better."
The guy pictured below the fold just emailed me to say AlGore is full of shit and that he's fresher than Al's data.

And they accuse Republicans of fear mongering.
Even if it's true, and I would need to see a lot more evidence than Al Gore simply saying it, we couldn't do anything in 5 years, so if it is going to happen, it's going to happen.

And if there is still ice in 7 years I'm still right since I said there was a 25% chance!

But now Al Gore says that those guys are wrong, and the warming will pick up again any day now.
So, if it gets cooler, the State Media will proclaim that the brand new models are right, and proof AGW will kill us all. If it gets warmer, the State Media will say, duh, proof that AGW will kill us all.
Hmm...I see a pattern here.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
MANBEARPIG!

What are you talking about wingnut? Al Gore is the greatest scientist mankind has produced! Unlike that Bush guy he got a advanced degree from a prestige university.

What strikes me is how many Democrats/Liberals don't care that they are making utter fools of themselves.
There is no global warming, and no amount of debunking their myth dissuades them from fucking us.

Al Gore can say any moronic nonsense that he likes, but one thing is clear. The only people who agree with him are LIBTARDS. Coincicence. I think not.

At this point nobody can possibly believe a word that comes out of the mouth of any of the GW fat cats. They've been exposed as frauds and opportunists and now it's just a matter of time before the whole enterprise goes bust.

“These figures are fresh...."
“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at...”
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.

If he had just stuck to the script and simply said "these figures are the shizzle", this whole misunderstanding could have been avoided.

As soon as Al Gore was called on his lie, by the person he PURPOSELY misquoted. He makes up another lie to cover it.
This is typical of all LIBTARDS.. They lie all the time and believe they will not be called on the lie by the Media. In this case the very scientist Gore was lying about took exception to being USED by Gore.
Posted by: gus at December 14, 2009 06:37 PM (MaqIC)
So it depends on what the definition of is fresh is. Good to know he learned something while in office
Posted by: taylork at December 14, 2009 06:37 PM (qIT/g)
Libtards show no remorse when caught lying cheating and stealing because they are pathological. It is part of their very being. To be a LIBTARD, you must either be dishonest or very very stupid and naive. Gore is dishonest. So is Opie.

Hopefully, Gore will spend the rest of his days sitting on his porch, drinking and eating heavily, and being a punch line for late night comedians.
He's a damn liar. And now his pants are on fire.

I remembered Danson saying something like that. I looked it up after I read your post and he actually said in 1988 that the oceans would be dead in 10 years. A blog mentioning it, as well as Danson recently admitting to Jane Wells on CNBC that he had used hyperbole.

Things will happen a little faster than typical of past faiths, but it's unmistakable.
The impending loss of Arctic ice will be one of those points of contention among branches of the Church for the next millenium, some will claim it's imminent, some will claim "5-7 years" per Saint Albert The Fat, some will claim it'll be sometime off in the future but no one knows quite when.
The IPCC may be able to hold on as the Vatican of the Warmists for now, but it'll likely lose out to some more fundamentalist institution at some point, at least for a thousand years or so, that'll canonify the teachings into a holy scripture.

Here's the relevant part of the transcript:
http://tinyurl.com/yanf2r4
STOCKDALE: I know that -- I read where Senator Gore's mentor had disagree with some of the scientific data that is in his book. How do you respond to those criticisms of that sort? Do you --
QUAYLE: Deny it.
GORE: Well --
(Laughter.)
STOCKDALE: Do you take this into account?
(Laughter.)
GORE: No, I -- let me respond. Thank you, Admiral, for saying that. You're talking about Roger Revelle. His family wrote a lengthy letter saying how terribly he had been misquoted and had his remarks taken completely out of context just before he died.
(Jeers.)
He believed up until the day he died -- no, it's true, he died last year --
BRUNO: I'd ask the audience to stop, please.
GORE: -- and just before he died, he co- authored an article which was -- had statements taken completely out of context. In fact the vast majority of the world's scientists -- and they have worked on this extensively -- believe that we must have an effort to face up to the problems we face with the environment.

Regarding your climate hero ex-Gov. Palin: In an administrative order Sarah Palin signed in September 2007 as governor of Alaska, she joined other leaders in acknowledging that warming is a "global challenge", wanted govt officials to search for "opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions”, and explore ways to "participate in carbon-trading markets." Her order established a "sub-Cabinet" of top state officials to develop a strategy for dealing with climate change.

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
Quick! What's the over/under on that in Vegas and where's my bookies phone number??? I gotta get some DOWN on this one before the word gets out and everyone knows about it!
