Conspiracy theorists, you were right!

I’ve found the weather machines that have been making hurricanes, heatwaves and wildfires worse!


Turns out it was Big Oil all along. Who knew?

Wait till you see the 3Metre sea level rise make half of Florida disappear..😷

@FoxyQueen I can afford to watch. I am way more than 3 M above sea level..

Algore predicted that the melting poles would submerge most of Florida by the year 2016. I've lived on the west coast since 2001. The water line hasn't moved in 19 years. NO water levels are rising. And we've been hit by killer hurricanes, (just like way in the past.)
You’re wasting your valuable time on that one

Is he living? In a home? @Thinkerbell

Yes, he's still living, and he moves around from mansion to mansion, enjoying the fruits of his ill-gotten gains, laughing all the way to the bank...
@Reason10 the water line has moved in 19 years. In fact it is rising at a level on one inch every two years. Until 1950 it was one inch every ten years.

Believe it or don’t, I don’t care. And neither does sea level.

@Thinkerbell Gore did not make his fortune in Big Oil.

His forebears did.

In Occidental Petroleum.

"...one inch every two years."

Utter nonsense. In the past 30 years, mean global sea level has risen about 80mm, which is very close to 3.1 inches, or about 1" every 10 years.

Yeah. Living in a buzzard nest. @whowasthatmaskedman

@Reason10 I suppose that i could point out that since Al Gores time (Yes. Truth is inconvenient) the world generally has had global emition reductions with the Kyoto and Paris accords, in large paet responsible for the promotion of E Vehicles and and renewable energy solar and wind farms.These have bent the line, but not enough. Scientist working in West Antartica are reporting the whole ice shelf there is weakening and degrading. When that sucker goes, there is your three metre rise with a little to spare. And its big enough to mess with the southern hemisphere currents as well.😷

Tonto said it was Al's family.

And Al inherited it, naturally.

@wishforthenight Some folks look at the sea and it is where it was, so it hasnt moved. Even when the west antarctic ice shelf goes, it will take years to actually melt and cause the oceans to rise. The problem is that nothing will be able to prevent it then..😷

@Thinkerbell It was the way he was dressed by the media and big business. His cardinal sin was to be boring and without charisma of any kind.😷

" Even when the west antarctic ice shelf goes, it will take years to actually melt and cause the oceans to rise."

Incorrect. If a large, land-based mass of ice slips into the ocean, the effect is almost immediate, spreading throughout the world in a matter of hours (or at most, days) with the speed of a tsunami.

Try a small-scale experiment yourself: drop an ice cube into a glass of water. The water level rises immediately to a higher level. And when the ice cube finally melts, the water level remains at that very same higher level.

@Thinkerbell What you say is quite correct. But thats why it is called and Ice shelf. It is already in the water, with about 15% protruding..😷
You expect him to understand charts and data? @Thinkerbell

@whowasthatmaskedman

You are confusing the ice shelf (which is already in the ocean) with the ice sheet, which is on land. It is the collapse of the latter that would cause the 3-meter rise in sea level.

Ice that is already in the ocean has no significant effect on sea level if it melts. Ice that is on land, however, has the immediate effect of raising sea level if the ice slides into the ocean.
