It seems not a lot of people are interested in paying 100,000 dollars to hear Al Gore speak anymore. Or even to have some of the trained presenters do it for free.

Al Gore, a victim of climate change (translated from French by Google)
“Al Gore’s program The Climate Project (TCP) goal is to widely spread the film An Inconvenient Truth and to raise awareness about the climate emergency by a series of conferences throughout the world. He has suffered in recent months the Copenhagen setback and various ClimateGates. According to the list of events planned at the TCP site (link above), the monthly number of conferences reached a peak of 193 just before Copenhagen in October 2009 before a continuing “unprecedented” and “irreversible” decline down to a ‘collapse’ in recent months. For now, no conference is scheduled for 2011, which bodes ill for the continuation of the project. This is unquestionably one more sign of “climate fatigue” that affects the warming movement. We congratulate the performance of TCP fans who managed to mobilize 19,613 conferences so far! If they are angry at the idea that so much effort may also produce so meager results, it would be understandable.”
===================================================
Yeah, it doesn’t look good for them, down 70% of an already minuscule market share in the last month. They didn’t even get much of a Climategate bump. I’d call it “flatlining”.

This reminds me to remind you that WUWT succeeds via linkage. So please link to WUWT whenever you can in comments and encourage news articles and blog posts from content here.
Also, thanks to WUWT reader Marcos José for the tip on the bookings and to reader Eduardo Ferreyra the translation.
Such is the fate of all fashionable faddish ideas like CAGW – they sound good, or disturbing, or somehow relevant and important; then nothing or not much happens and the public moves on to the next distraction.
Can you blame them? After all; where is the heat; the flooding; the climate refugees…For a time there he really had everybody going.
Actually AL’s movie tipped me from sarcastic comment to actual investigation of the professed science.When so many BS detectors go off at once and the local do gooders are all aghast about CO2 its time to check the facts. My conclusion is it is time to tax or physically attack any dogooder who is out to help/save me. Stupid is as stupid does indeed and they have done it all over the place on this scam. we will be tossing senseless bylaws, provincial laws and taxes for decades. I love the internet, Utube , future quote, my opponent is so stupid he/she bought into AWG. Question, can Al Gore be prosecuted for spreading lies for profit?
If you thought big Al was steamed about attendance to his site, you should have heard him vent when he found out, most of his hits came from here every time WUWT mentioned the decline.
So, would that make them “Goreites” (in emulation of Millerites?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerism )
No ‘end of the world’ on schedule and all that?…
Or maybe “Algoreites?”
Looks like Big Al needs a new gig. Or better yet just fade away.
Yes Al. The word you are looking for is “rumbled”.
I suppose Al and the Go-Rhythmics are the chief victims
of Skepticological Climate Change.
Cheer up Al.
Because the death spiral of your website has been posted on WUWT I actually heard about your website and visited it!
So that is at least one hit you got today!

Am I the only person that thinks Al Gore might have lost some credibility buying a $9 million seaside home and owing a multimillion dollar seaside condo?
Al Gore – who? Wasn’t there a VP by that name sometime back? He has a movie out?
Oh! Is that the guy that has been wrong on so many issues that nobody pays any attention to him – anymore? including his wife? or ex-wife….?? or is that the current VP?
Yeah, I visited once after a mention here. It was so bad I will never repeat the experience.

Poor Al, he didn’t get to be President and now this. Maybe he can try his hand at infomercials.
scott,
i thought the “inconvenient truth” was his Infomercial!!

How will he afford that ocean front beach house? Guess he is going to have to file chapter 13. Poor soul.
I think he should return all that money.Imagine all the DDT Africa could buy for it.
I can’t complain about Mr. Gore – he made me sceptical and brought us Man-Bear-Pig.
You know, if I squint real hard at the “skyfall” graph, I can almost see a hockey stick!
Maybe they are using the wrong Al Gore-ithm.

Is that a 4/3 beat?
