We're All Gonna Die! Pt. 26

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

Today comes an Al Gore edition of We’re All Gonna Die!

First, the Goracle impresses us with his knowledge of the earth sciences, declaring on Conan O’Brien that the Earth’s core reaches a temperature of “several million degrees.”  Our actual best estimate? 4,000-5,000 degrees Celsius.  As NRO’s John Derbyshire puts it, “If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was ‘several million degrees,’ we’d be a star.”

Now comes word of how Gore plans to open his next apocalyptic book.  He will use the following quote:

I’m offering you the choice of life or death. You can choose either blessings or curses.
–Deuteronomy Chapter 30, Verse 19

The cover art even manages to be over-the-top hysterical.  As the so-called science of global warming is increasingly rejected, expect the likes of Al Gore to hyperventilate about the coming doom at even greater frequencies.
