Inconvenient Failures



Kevin Killough has a useful Just the News reminder of Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" and the catalogue of failed predictions mainstream media and activist politicians prefer to forget. 

Well worth reading, as here in the UK we are still stuck with Ed Miliband.

 
Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ turns 20, and critics say biggest disaster is its failed predictions

Twenty years ago "An Inconvenient Truth" received a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival. Though it was full of predictions that never came to pass, it was a key catalyst of the climate activist movement...

Predictions of cataclysm stemming from climate change regularly get reported in the media, but there’s little reporting when the predictions fail. In 2022, NBC News was one of many outlets reporting that California and the American West were in the midst of a “megadrought,” which was the worst the region had seen in over 1,000 years.

Earlier this month, NBC reported that California is drought free for the first time in 25 years. The article makes no mention of the previously predicted “megadrought,” nor does it mention climate change.

We were told this morning that we are to be awarded a yellow warning or something because ice is expected for the next couple of days. In England? In January? Whoda thunkit? These taxpayer funded fools just don't see how ludicrous they are . . .

Jannie - yes, it's too silly, we need to be rid of the constant hectoring and silly propaganda.

Ah! But if you keep being told that Nanny knows best then employing yet another Nanny doesn't seem so extravagant.

DJ - that's the problem, the creeping Nannyfication of everything.

Trump covets Greenland because it's vineyards will compensate for the loss of the the drought shrivelled ones of California. He will have to be quick to get there before the Vikings return to reclaim them.
The rest he can cover in golf courses with linked Trump Towers.

Doonhamer - Greenland vineyards will also compensate the US for losing California to loons and crooks.
