Al Gore: Climate change 'significantly worse' than feared
Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, Al Gore said on Thursday.
Must be more hot air out there than accounted for in the models. Better go back into your laboratories and don't come out until you find it.
Recent evidence shows "the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us," climate campaigner and former US vice-president Gore said.
Maybe he ought to go back to campaigning to be President. At least then he had something "useful" to do that kept him out of trouble.
There are now forecasts that the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years, he told a gathering at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Great! We only have to listen to about five more years of this stuff!
They can't forecast rain or sun three days from now, but they can forecast the end of the polar ice cap?
In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a massive report the size of three phone books on the reality and risks of climate change, its 4th assessment in 18 years.
Check it for earmarks.
Global warming is a key theme at this year's meeting of the world's business and political elite in Davos.
It may take all the fun out of it, but it would be better to hold this as a videoconference. Much "greener" that way, don't you think? No, the other kind of green!
