Gore and his fellow alarmists are on thin ice

Andrew Bolt,Herald Sun (Australia)
"The Arctic ice refuses to go away, which forces the warmists to keep modifying their predictions. Take Al Gore.

In December 2008, he said “The entire north polar ice cap will be gone in 5 years”…

In April 2009, after a big refreeze, Gore pushed out his prediction of a possible ice-free Arctic to 2014:

(R)esearchers 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 adjusted 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.

Back in 2008, plenty of other alarmists were also spreading fear that the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013. There was NASA’ Goddard Institute, for instance: ..Tell me: if global warming really is happening even faster than the warmists predicted, why do they need to keep readjusting like this? "
