Tom Nelson pointed out something quite interesting on Friday August 7th. He wrote on Twitter:
I thought to myself, “how could this be?”. Gore spent millions on a professional set, hired a leggy spokesmodel to emcee, spent huge amounts of money on web advertising, and claimed he had millions of views during the event.
And yet, only 166 views of his flagship YouTube interview?
Well, it’s up to 179 as of this writing, so I guess that’s something. I figure skeptic Tom Nelson’s tweet helped a bit.
You can watch Gore’s video here. I’m sure he’ll appreciate some views from Climate Skeptics.
Note some of the other viewcounts I highlighted at right in yellow from the 24 hours of climate reality. They have similarly dismal numbers.
Now, look at the bottom two I highlighted. One is from my friend John Coleman titled: “How the Global Warming Scare Began” All John had was one TV station in San Diego and a mention on WUWT. He’s got 294,263 views. Physicist and climate skeptic Freeman Dyson has 14,357 views and the video is handheld VHS quality!
Heck, even my debunking of the outright lie presented as science by Al Gore and Bill Nye has more views than Gore’s climate reality, and I had just a few hundred dollars in that budget.
Tragically, Gore still has that video of Nye with the outright lie up on his website. Apparently, truth in science doesn’t matter to either Gore or Nye.
And that may be why Al’s global reach is slipping, in fact, it may have slipped away altogether.
well I must say she has a good set of legs
Hmmm kinda past her use by date?
It happens early to a lot of masseuses.
James Spann – Meteorologist out of Birmingham, Alabama and Scientists at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (which conducts climate studies) have also debunked the global warming myth.
Ha. wait until the ManBearPig handlers see this.
They will insist the 64 bit counter rolled over.
Now I don’t feel so bad about only getting 2390 views on my Vanishing Ice Most Likely All Natural! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaZb0r4G_Gc
And I didn’t have a leggy emcee
Who says you didn’t have a leggy emcee, Jim. How tall are you? ;o)
6 foot 4, but my legs aint pretty
Very nice presentation Jim Steele. I didn’t know about your presentations. I note that they all receive about 2000 or so views. I think the problem is inadequate promotion and advertising. It would be good to somehow push these presentations in this year of the Paris climate Can Can. Have you presented at public venues or scientific conferences? I’m no expert in the field of advertising and promotion but somehow good clear, understandable stuff like this should be out there.
Gary,
” I think the problem is inadequate promotion and advertising.”
.
What’s Gore’s excuse then?
Thanks Gary. The 2000 thousand hits were largely due to WUWT. I gave a talk to the IEEE that we put on youtube in 4 parts (part1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FuKSK7kP0s) After WUWT posted it there are only 1 or 2 views a day. I don’t how else to advertize these talks, but at least its out there.
Look at the jetstream in Chile.

Ha Ha. you guys.
don’t you realize the ManBearPig spin doctors will point out the 64 bit counter youtube uses has rolled over, so this is really (2^64 – 1) + the 170ish. In other words,
18, 446, 744, 073, 709, 551, 615 page views. 😉
The outlandish model predictions and amplifications from within the media are causing the public to become desensitized, and stand offish. That is the cost of spreading bogus fear
Now if only our President and all his millions of bureaucrats and PC media and PC Hollywould could be as smart as the public.
Tipper Gore ran a campaign against offensive content. She finally convinced me and I shall pass on watching her husband offending science!
Notwithstanding the numbers NOT looking at Mr Gore – it seems that the faith remains unshakeable amongst many of the converted. And many of those are in positions of power and influence and are seeking to exert that influence as hard as they can go.
What is truly astonishing is that so many believers continue to believe and to profess their beliefs. But I do not have the words to describe what I think of those who have scientific training who continue to stretch the data, bend the theory and display characteristics which are the very antithesis of scientific thinking.
Yes, you do probably have words to describe believing warmunists. But are far too civilized to use them. And moderaters here would properly expunge them, anyway, if you weren’t. Carry on.
Mercenary –
adjective: influenced by greed or desire for gain. From Latin mercenarius: “one who does anything for pay,”
I have taken to discussing my skepticism now with my real-life friends; “out” about it if you will. And surprisingly finding that since I brought it up, they’re not believers either! This is principally taking the form of warning them to buy hay early, split wood now, and make sure the snow tires and chains are ready to go for the impending solar-minimum winter. The meme is dying, folks, like a slowly deflating CO2 balloon . . .
Who want’s to watch a dishonest, “green” activist, shallow fraudster pushing lies?
There’s so much interesting, real science to spend time on ..

Al who?
OK I am inspired to play with a little video enhancement and inline commentary…I can always claim, “the debil made me do it” If you have any suggestions for content/comments/scribbles/images/sound track let me know by a message on my FB Business Page;

Big fat fib (BFF) #1 “the sharp reduction in [power costs in the USA due to consumers ED] due to renewable’s? WTF
What are the top climate skeptic documentaries?
Look, Al took the initiative in creating the internet, what more do you ask of him?

Hilarious.
Even Jenna Marbles, a 20-something gal who posts simple humorous videos weekly using an i-Phone, is the #8 channel on YouTube, with over 1.8 billion views (that’s billion with a b!) and over 15 million subscribers.

She does the cutest videos. I hadn’t seen her in years. Thanks, lol.
She really does. I have a little soft spot for Jenna — she’s a very bright, talented, creative young lady. Even my 82 year old mom adores her 🙂
Al Gore divorced Tipper so he could enjoy sodomy with Bill Nye.
Ha ha
That is neither witty nor true.
It’s more suited to a YouTube comment thread than where civil people meet.
167? That’s only 100 more views than my very cheesy Jetpack video, and nobody gives a damn about that.
Link here, if enough of you fine people watch it I can get some more flight time cheap:
Didn’t know such a thing existed. Apparently I live a sheltered life. Suggest in next video you hire leggy supermodel in tiny bikini to fly it. Will improve number of hits.
Eugene WR Gallun
Should have watched to the end, leggy model comes in at 4:28 in slomo.
That is completely cool. How hard is it to control?
The nozzles are swiveled by the handles, and there’s a bit of free play and backlash, as well as friction in the bearings. That first session was about a half hour, and while I did get some good flights, none were longer than a minute or two before I got wonky enough to alarm the instructor, who would throttle down to lower me into the water before I got into too much trouble. I’m going back next month to do it some more, though! I’ll also try the hover platform that you stand on which uses more natural, intuitive control inputs (your normal standing relflexes).
Who knows? Maybe in a few years Al’s number of views will surpass CO2’s ppm.
(But I wouldn’t bet on it.)
Maybe his views will equal his hanging chads.
eyesonu — Young one won’t get the joke. — Eugene WR Gallun
Max,
Great pic. He’s got an eye on it.
Like hanging chads, maybe he counts views to WUWT that he was sure wanted to view his show but picked WUWT instead. Possibly counts as views those who might have touched the keyboard but didn’t spell his name correctly or hit ‘enter’.
Maybe it’s a vast WUWT conspiracy against sex craved poodles. It has been said that the commenters at WUWT are like a pack of wolves and a silly poodle with too little hanging chads just got trampled by the big dogs.
Then, of course, maybe Gore is exaggerating or spinning his version of the reality of it all.
Back in the Day, Big Al was a Slum Lord, and that made his money to butcher us today.
I really do not want to push the causes of the Gorical and The Climate Reality Project, but please be aware that even without his presence on the web and his expensive production for the Climate Reality Project with a couple of hundred viewers, Gore is getting the coverage from his training sessions with the Climate Reality Project at centers around the world.

I too laugh at his Alexa ratings but I’m all to aware of his penetration into religion, politics and schools with his message.
It depresses me t think that thisi moron was almost elected President of the US. But hen we got the Marxist moron instead. A guy who really believes in this Gorean Warmist nonsense, and that Marxist economics works when 300 years of trials in scores of countries only resulted in concentration camps and poverty.
” A guy who really believes in this Gorean Warmist nonsense…”

I don’t think he believes a word of it. I think he sees it as a means to an end.
What is needed is a little climate science spin.
That there are only 166 views is proof positive that people understand that the science is settled. Who needs to watch?
Eugene WR Gallun
There is a good joke in there somewheres but obviously I failed to find it.
This is more proof that people are tired of hearing about doom and gloom “climate change”. They know they were tricked with his movie….why should they be suckered in again? The POTUS is still desperately trying to get America to believe that a manufactured catastrophe is far worse than the reality of people dying in religious and Imperialistic wars, economies failing right and left and rampant diseases threatening the world. CAGW is losing credibility because it jumped the shark……years ago.
Used to be all he had to do was take the leggy model out to dinner.
I know. I know. Ewwwwww.
Leggy models for dinner?
