Gore tries to con scientists at climate summit

Al Gore has refused to debate his so-called climate science and has become accustomed to universal acceptance of his climate pronouncements.

Now that Gore is finally on the world climate stage, he has stubbed his toe. He can’t fool them in Copenhagen. Gore’s detractors will surely find this story almost too delicious to read.

Mr. Gore has become embroiled in a climate change controversy after claiming that the Arctic could be completely ice-free within five years.

Speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, Mr. Gore said new computer modeling suggests there is a 75 per cent chance of the entire polar ice cap melting during the summertime by 2014.

However, he faced embarrassment last night after Dr. Wieslav Maslowski, the climatologist whose work the prediction was based on, refuted his claims.

Dr. Maslowski is trampling all over Al Gore’s nicely phrased globaloney.

The Al Gore blunder follows the controversy over hacked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, which skeptics claim suggest scientists manipulated data to strengthen their argument that global warming is man-made.
