I would not have believed this if I wasn’t able to see it myself. This bloviation even tops Gore’s “Earth’s interior is millions of degrees” comment on live TV. Watch this video segment from Gore’s Current TV:
So how does he explain Romney’s performance? High altitude training?
And to think this man almost became president and is the most globally recognized spokesman for global warming.

And what altitude was Romney at, pray tell?
According to Gore, we need to ground Air Force One because we cannot trust the President to conduct White House business at an altitude > 5000′ or air pressure < 12.1 PSI.
Gore thinks Obama works better at sea level?
How about below sea level?

On a somewhat related note, Gore no longer sees green energy as a wise investment:

Love this article. Telling an inconvenient truth. Thanks for sharing.
Al Gore…. America’s Prince Charles!
Is he sure it wasn’t The Gore effect? Is he sure Obama brain didn’t freeze from close proximity to Al Gore?
How can anyone possibly be that stupid? The altitude didn’t change the facts of Obama’s support for “picking losers” – he was in DC at the time. What’s his excuse in that regard?
Al Gore is the failed divinity student cum failed Vice President who supposedly was asked by Mother Earth to be the Supreme Gaia Priest . . . sounds like a character from a Mounty Python skit . . .

And now…a word from eminent climate
alarmistscientist and Al Gore advisor, Dr. James Hansen, director of the premier center for climatealarmismscience, NASA GISS:Climate scientists are losing the public debate on global warming
…
Dr Hansen, who served as an adviser to Al Gore on his controversial documentary The Inconvenient Truth, said: “There is remarkable inconsistency between the scientific story and public story.”
“The science has become stronger and stronger over the past five years while the public perception is has gone in completely the other direction. That is not an accident.”
“There is a very concerted effort by people who would prefer to see business to continue as usual. They have been winning the public debate with the help of tremendous resources. Who knows how the East Anglia email fiasco came about?”
—
BTW – “tremendous resources”? He must be referring to WUWT!
How can anyone possibly be that stupid? It certainly didn’t change the facts about his support for “picking losers” – he was in DC when he did that. What’s his excuse in that regard?
Al Gore, a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
What a plonker! Only proves the axiom that you can’t defend the indefensible.
Obummer seems a nice enough.bloke, but you need someone able to think for himself and make the right decisions if he is to be a good president. I think it’s time for a change of leadership in the US.

Maybe you should donate your president to one of the ‘low countries’. Is the Netherlands low enough?
Only if we are allowed to drop him in a unused shaft of a abandoned coalmine.
old pilots words: “If you want to change your altitude, you have to chance your attitude.” About 20 years ago and old fighter pilot run an organisation to help kids back in society. Thats words was printed on his info-flyers….
Bearing in mind the US is the leader of the Western World from this side of the pond both Presidential candidates appear to be of a very poor calibre.

If a small increase in a trace atmospheric gas can cause the oceans to boil, why can’t rarified air cause a president to freeze.
Let’s face it, we’ve basically been led by a tele-prompter for four years as “President”. Without memorized speeches or a tele-prompter, he’s a bit clueless if you get him out of his memorized context. I’d more like to know exactly who IS behind the tele-prompter and written speeches that wasn’t present at the debate last night, or even who is deeper behind the speech writers.
Watch for some method appearing off-screen in the last two debates that Obama can read and be queued from the podium and Mitt Romney had better mention it if present. Maybe his answers are queued by his ‘Black’Berry, is that why his head was always stuck down looking at the podium?
I hope that O”Bumble’s Team switches to using AlGore instead of John “Vietnam” Kerry for debate prep. Hilarity will ensue. It’s hard to believe that his podium was THAT much higher. Maybe it was the CO2 concentration his side of the stage?
A long time ago, I was a sky diver. The drop zone I frequented would occasionaly be visited by military types. One was a doctor. He told me that smokers (president Obama is a smoker) generally feel the effects of altitude at higher altitudes than non smokers (that is they adjust to oxygen deficiency better). I’ve heard that before (in mine rescue) and since (can’t remember where). There is an abstract here:
http://thorax.bmj.com/content/early/2012/06/13/thoraxjnl-2011-200623.abstract
that seems to confirm this. So based on a smokers ability to adjust to high altitude faster than a non smoker, I’d have to say that Romney can claim that disadvantage. Note to Dr. Gore. Confirm your facts first. Please note. I understand that smoking greatly increases the probability of developing lung cancer and a number of other illnesses (just in case Dr. Lew is reading and looking for conspiracy nuts).
Al Gore has his head in the clouds.
Who knew that windbags are effected by the P-V-T limitations of the Ideal Gas Law ? ? ?
Solution: Move the next debate to Death Valley at -282 ft MSL….or the Dead Sea at -1388 ft MSL…or get the POTUS a Hyperbaric debate chamber….or….
Al Gore overlooks the fact that Obama had frequent altitude training when flying in Air Force One to Las Vegas, to Beyoncé and Jay-Z, to Hoover dam, just the past few weeks. Maybe he did that to prepare for the debate in high altitude Denver.
So, while his theory sounds interesting, I would counter it by saying – maybe Obama had too much altitude training and suffered neurological damage before he arrived in Denver already. Which would of course be another reason not to vote for him. Neurologically damaged presidents probably don’t work all that well.
Romney was there earlier, and perhaps he got some tips from John Elway who endorsed him.
This is not a totally ridiculous claim, as sports teams do have trouble playing in Denver.

Al Gore, the man who gave up the Presidency in order to take the easy, lucrative post of Speaker of the House.
Ah, Bob? Al was Vice President. As such his job was to chair the senate. He was never Speaker of the House.
Of course, with a few more years of global warming and rising waters, Denver will be at sea level. /sarc
Hmm… too bad we can’t arrange an outdoor debate in Death Valley in mid-August. There were some entire weeks this year where the daily high seemed to love being over 120!
