According to Algore we are all going to die in ten years time, again:

The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk. And even more – if more should be required – the future of human civilization is at stake.

Another classic passage from his recent speech:

Of course there are those who will tell us this can’t be done. Some of the voices we hear are the defenders of the status quo – the ones with a vested interest in perpetuating the current system, no matter how high a price the rest of us will have to pay. But even those who reap the profits of the carbon age have to recognize the inevitability of its demise. As one OPEC oil minister observed, “The Stone Age didn’t end because of a shortage of stones

Al Gore is not exactly what one would described as a disinterested party in these matters, thanks to a $500 million dollar ‘green’ investment fund he is a partner to. One might even say he has a financial vested interest in promoting a future system of carbon cap and trade as much as ‘carbon’ industry seemingly has interests in promoting the status quo. And for Algore, his business interests could do with a bit of a kick along:

And further from Algore:

To those who say 10 years is not enough time, I respectfully ask them to consider what the world’s scientists are telling us about the risks we face if we don’t act in 10 years. The leading experts predict that we have less than 10 years to make dramatic changes in our global warming pollution lest we lose our ability to ever recover from this environmental crisis. When the use of oil and coal goes up, pollution goes up. When the use of solar, wind and geothermal increases, pollution comes down.

Note the speech is devoid of primary sources and citations. Also note that Algore seems to like ten year moving deadlines. Back in January 2006 Algore also claimed we only had ten years left to save the planet otherwise we would all fry, from Rush Limbaugh (requires member log in):

He’s (Algore) attending parties and posing for pictures with his fans. He’s enjoying macaroni and cheese at the Discovery Channel’s soirée. He’s palling around with Laurie David of Curb Your Enthusiasm, who is the husband of Larry David, who drives the Prius and then flies the GV. Larry David says, “You know, Al is a funny guy, but he’s also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan.”

In serious need of a share price kick along more like it.
