The Goracle Consults His Crystal Ball, Sees 220 Foot Sea Rise In 5-10 Years
Posted on October 31, 2009
At this point, I am starting to believe Gore would have been better than Bush in fighting the War on Terrorism. Why? The dude is so stone cold wackadoodle that he probably would have just dropped some nukes on Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia, Syria, and Iran, among others. Besides, the nukes would certainly have mitigated the supposed global warming through nuclear winter. Witness the latest incarnation of insanity
Al Gore was beating the climate change drum again on Tuesday, this time in Dubai, as the former U.S. vice president warned global warming will create “hundreds of millions of climate refugees”.
“Each one metre of sea level rise is associated with 100 million climate refugees in the world,” the Nobel laureate told a business forum in Dubai, which could see its famous man-made islands disappear under the waves if his predictions prove true.
“The North Pole ice cap is 40 percent gone already and could be completely and totally gone in the winter months in the next 5 to 10 years,” he warned.
If the North Pole were to melt it could increase sea levels by 67 metres, Gore said, speaking in the heart of an oil-rich region not known for its regard for the environment.
67 meters is almost 220 feet. Perhaps Al could have saved a few tons of CO2 and not flown to Dubai?

The article says the sea level will rise 6-7 meters, not 67 meters.
Yeah, and not only that, if the North Pole melts the seas will rise zero meters since the ice is already in the water. What the article actually says is “Gore said if Greenland and West Antarctica, made up of massive ice sheets, were to melt it could increase sea levels by 6-7 metres”. Either someone is deliberately misquoting the article or the article itself was altered.
Original article said 67. Looks like they updated it. With the update, we are still talking about a sea rise of 19-20 feet. We’ve basically been looking at a sea rise of around 6-8 inches per century for the last 7,000 years. This is simply more hysteria from Gore.
