Gore Rewrites 'Inconvenient' Claim About NYC Flooding in Sequel Promo

In his 2006 film, Gore warned, “If Greenland broke up and melted or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted this is what would happen to the sea level in Florida [animation shown with much of the state underwater].”

Immediately, after showing Florida, Gore showed animations of drowning cities and countries: San Francisco, The Netherlands, Beijing, Shanghai, Calcutta and then Manhattan.


He then tries to spin Hurricane Sandy to be the vehicle that made his prediction true.

In that clip, Gore then shows “Superstorm Sandy” footage of water flooding lower Manhattan, including the memorial site and a quote from Gov. Andrew Cuomo blaming climate change, to prove true Gore’s claim from 11 years ago.


Problem... Gore's claim was that flooding would result from ice melt, not a hurricane.

Problem... If his prediction of Manhattan flooding came to fruition, then we really don't have much to worry about - other than just the normal random storm that causes flooding that can affect an area for a short time frame.

As if you needed any other evidence that this has become like a cult among the alarmists.
When your predictions fail to come true, you just move the goalposts and keep preaching impending doom just like the preachers do with predictions of the rapture.

Al gore is a fraud and an environmental criminal. He had a role in passing nafta and opening the floodgates for mass production in Mexico and eventually China, where the environment has been ravaged.

And he wanted manufacturingnin those places because he is a tool. Reagan, bush, Clinton, gore, obama, they all should be held responsible for the mass pollution that has resulted in their "free" trade policies.

His bank account must be getting too low for comfort. Time to create another fantasy science fiction movie for liberals to watch.

I hear the working title for the sequel is "The End Is Near (No Really, I Mean It This Time)".

I think Gore would love to set himself up for 2020.
