This is the same guy who sold his TV station to petro-state backed Al Jazeera for tens of millions, right?
Former Vice President Al Gore is still making climate doom predictions, 20 years after his warnings from An Inconvenient Truth proved false — this time invoking the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow for a rapt Hollywood audience.
Gore joined the first-ever Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event Thursday, organized by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, for a keynote conversation with The West Wing star Bradley Whitford. The pair reminisced about the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, conspicuously omitting its failed prophecy that Earth’s ecosystems would reach a “tipping point” of no return, thanks to human industrial activity, in only ten years. That deadline that came and went a full decade ago.
In the course of the conversation, Gore mentioned that the idea for An Inconvenient Truth came out of his promotion for the 2004 science fiction movie The Day After Tomorrow (throughout the keynote, Gore mixed its title up with the 1983 nuclear war thriller The Day After). The mansion-dwelling, private–jetting climate crusader later invoked the disaster film, saying that the calamity it depicts is “a very real threat within the next 25 years.” (snip)
GORE: That movie that I mentioned, The Day After about the Gulf Stream shutting down, well, this morning in one of the English newspapers is a whole big article summarizing the recent dire warnings of the scientists who found yet more confirmatory information that this is a very real threat within the next 25 years.
They never, ever give up trying to spread their doomsday propaganda.
