Not sure exactly where he said that, as that headline isn’t in the news article as a quote, but if he did say that to the reporter, apparently Mr. Gore hasn’t seen this recent study from the University of California yet: Doomsday messages about global warming can backfire, new study shows
And apparently all the evidence Mr. Gore needs these days comes from the “weather is not climate, unless we say it is” line of reasoning.
From the Hindustan Times:
Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion climate campaigner Al Gore outlined the doom the world is awaiting because of climate change and expressed disappointment at world leaders failing to clinch a treaty to fight the new global terror. Terming the logjam in climate negotiations as a “startling paradox”, the man, whose documentary, The Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar said the year 2010 had seen worst of climate change.
“There was severe drought in Russia and extreme flooding in Pakistan. What more evidence is required for action,” he said at HT Leadership Summit.
His worst fear was that after failure of Copenhagen climate summit the talks where heading towards another “zombie” like the Doha process on World Trade Organisation negotiations. Gore’s solution for the problem was taking the issue back to the grassroots and creating a political storm to compel the leaders to react to climate change.
The former president blamed his own country United States – world second biggest carbon emitter — for failing to legislate a carbon law to curb emissions, resulting in failure of Copenhagen.
…
Al Gore had a lot of hope for India to take a lead in fighting climate change.
“India has a tremendous opportunity to lead the world in energy efficient solutions and in effecting a rapid shift to use of alternate energy like wind and solar,” Gore said.

I think he is right.
I will bet that he and his terrorists have killed more people that any other terrorist group in recent history–maybe4 forever.
So exactly what can be made of …
I, Man-Bear-Pig’s have been trained in Theology, from which I know that all science is really faith. Although I have no science training, my hand has been guided by Gaia to deliver the word. I sing of faith based religon based on the Hoky Scripture (Earth in the Balance) and the propaganda Oscar winning masterpiece “An Inconvenient Truth”. Not a word or scene can be changed of my inerrant works! MBP can only be your saviour through faith, not through works or scientific evaluation. To question the Hoky Scripture and Mockumentary is blasphemey, punishable by condemnation to solar powered vehicles and super expensive wind and solar electricity for life. Who will be saved? Free your self from your earthly power and give to the third world; the Church of Inconvenience only retains a small portion of your gift in the name of George Soros the father, Man-Bear-Pig the son and Cameron the unholy Avatar. All other religions are false, and skeptics shall be banned to eternally drift the blogosphere. Fear my mighty deeds; I shall move the mountains of coal to the carbon trading market! I shall starve millions by changing food into fuel! All shall face the IPCC Inquisition and tremble! Kneel before my mighty Ignoble Prize! Excelsior!
Assuming that global warming is the threat to humanity that our governments say it is, then we must stop using carbon fuels. Government hasn’t advocated or funded R&D to find a new energy source that can replace carbon fuels. Government has only subsidized part time energy sources like wind, solar, and Ethanol. While these will reduce usage of carbon fuels, they aren’t scalable to the degree necessary to replace carbon fuels. They are niche energy sources.
Government wants to use Cap and Trade as a way to force everybody to switch to one of these niche energy sources… an impossibility… and a which posits a “solution” that would require continued use of a lot of carbon fuels to sustain Cap and Trade as a huge money making industry.
If carbon fuels are the threat to humanity that government says it is, why won’t government spent a lot of money in the search for an energy source that can actually replace carbon fuels?
Can it be that government knows that carbon fuels are not the threat they want us to believe?
So Algore thinks that severe drought in Russia and floods in Pakistan are proof of AGW. To counterbalance that, in Australia severe floods ended the 15year drought. Now what?
