Al Gore's Icicle Nose Keeps On Growing

On November 20th of this year (day of Global Warming infamy) scientists’ emails stored on a computer network at Hadley Climate Research revealed the junk science of doomsday climate change. Curiosity was immediately raised on the effect these revelations would have on the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Change Summit (COP-15) and more particularly, the position to be taken by President Obama and global-warming-guru Al Gore.

Overnight, climate warming became Climategate. Discussions on the manipulation of evidence and massive cover-up involved with global warming became front-page news. Prior to the scandal, Al Gore was scheduled to attend COP-15, but post-scandal Gore cancelled his Copenhagen appearance. Obama was also slated to attend, but changed his mind. Subsequently, and not surprisingly, on December 7th, the two of them met in the Oval Office. When they emerged, it was announced that Obama would go to Copenhagen. He held a press conference to declare that U.S. carbon emissions reductions would be on the table – in the range of 17% below 2005 levels. Although we hoped that, at the very least, our president would acknowledge that global warming data had been compromised, we now knew the direction he was headed. But, what of Gore?

This week, the “mystery of Al” was answered. As ministers of the world’s countries began to arrive in Copenhagen for the final week of nitty-gritty negotiations, Mr. Gore magically appeared at a Climategate pulpit on Monday, December 14th, to protect his turf. Making an astounding new claim, he announced that new computer modeling shows that polar ice may be entirely melted by summer 2014. Gore elaborated:

“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. It is hard to capture the astonishment that the experts in the science of ice felt when they saw this”

In response, climatologist Dr. Maslowski briskly responded to Gore’s headline-grabbing declaration: 

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at. I would never try to estimate the likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

Al Gore’s icicle nose just keeps on growing. It’s getting frosty and chaotic in Copenhagen and Obama is next. Emissions agreements… will he chill?

Phelim McAleer, journalist/filmmaker (Mine Your Own Business, Not Evil Just Wrong) tries to question Al Gore (author of An Inconvenient Truth) about Climategate emails at the U.N. Climate Change Conference: 

Mr. McAleer: “It seems you’re not allowed to ask inconvenient questions of Al Gore.”

Third Day of Christmas: Climate alarmists say it’s vanishing, but we know the stuff Christmas dreams are made of is here to stay. Here’s Tony Bennett singing Snowfall:

See amid the winter’s snow, born for us on earth below. Hail thou ever-blessed morn!
