That's a another lie. Gore did not himself make these predictions but said (in some cases erroneously) that others had; Gore never referred to a year-long lack of ice for both poles, but instead largely referenced Arctic sea ice in the summer.


Why do you pinheads lie so much? I know, you follow the liar in chief, dump... What's good for the goose is good for his gander.

"totally unaware of DIMM crooks"
Obama didn't have any. So far, the Clinton campaign doesn't have any.

Al Gore predicted" nothing. He reported on 2 studies.


On 10 December 2007, in his Nobel prize acceptance speech, Gore said:

"Last September 21, as the Northern Hemisphere tilted away from the sun, scientists reported with unprecedented distress that the North Polar ice cap is “falling off a cliff.” One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study news.bbc.co.uk , to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers (Maslowski ) later this week, warns it could happen in as little as 7 years."

Here, Gore refers to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) announcement and two different climate studies, one of which became the source for his most aggressive statements. On 21 September, NOAA did announce that sea ice had hit its lowest recorded point in history.

Maslowski paper says '16 +/-3, which would be '13-'19. Ice free means less than 1M sq.K, not zero.
