Hapless Goracle Blames Scientists for 'Crisis'

Expect this boob to hit overdrive as his silly concerts approach on July 7. All this time, we heard from the bloated Gore that scientists had reached a consensus and it was obvious we were all going to melt or be swept away by rising tides. Now that he's been exposed as a charlatan, the divinity school washout lashes out at scientists.

n an extraordinary outburst aimed at America's failure to tackle global warming, Al Gore says that if scientific agreement on the climate crisis had been reached sooner it would have been easier to "galvanise the public and persuade Congress to act".

The failed presidential candidate claims that the stronger scientific consensus he knew was about to emerge meant "we in the US were about to shift into high gear in addressing the climate crisis". Mr Gore argues that if he had made it to the White House, he would have been able to use the office as a "bully pulpit" to achieve change.

"The nature and severity of the climate crisis had seemed painfully obvious to me for quite a long time," claims Mr Gore, writing in a new foreword to a revised edition of his book, Earth in the Balance, being published this week.

In a swipe at the scientific community, he says: "I wish that we could have had in the 1990s the deafening scientific consensus that has emerged in more recent years."
