Gore's Apocalypse Delayed Yet Again . And Again . And Again . And Again .
October 31 2009
The Arctic has stopped melting away, which forces Al Gore into several
readjustments.
In December 2008, he says the Arctic ice could vanish by 2013:
In April 2009, after a big refreeze, Gore pushes out his prediction of a
possible ice-free Arctic to 2014:
"Researchers at the Naval Postgraduate School have told us that the entire
Arctic ice cap may totally disappear in summer in as little as five years if
nothing is done to curb emissions of greenhouse gas pollution."
In October 2009, after a summer in which the Arctic ice hung around as per
recent usual, Gore adjusts again, extending his prediction to 2019:
"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."
And surely the reporter misheard Gore, because this is cartoonishly false,
especially given Gore is talking about sea ice:
"If the North Pole were to melt it could increase sea levels by 67 metres,
Gore said..."

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
