According to RedState, the former vice president, who first gained notoriety as the original “election denier” after the Supreme Court halted his “endless recounts” in 2000, has since devoted his public life to two pursuits: amassing a personal fortune and terrifying the public with visions of environmental catastrophe.
His central message has been relentlessly apocalyptic, a drumbeat of warnings that “you're going to die horribly, probably soon” unless Western governments shovel trillions of taxpayer dollars into schemes like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal — or, as critics on the right have aptly dubbed it, the “Green New Grift Deal.”

Gore’s 2006 documentary, *An Inconvenient Truth*, became a cultural touchstone for the left, whipping progressives and climate activists “into a frothing frenzy” that has yet to subside. The film helped usher in an era of hectoring lectures from climate scolds such as John Kerry, lavish climate conferences where elites arrive on fuel-guzzling private jets, and a steady stream of regulatory proposals designed to make ordinary Americans’ lives more constrained and more expensive, from washing machines and gas stoves to shower heads and automobiles.

There is, however, a fundamental problem with Gore’s Oscar-winning production, which many conservatives argue belonged in the “fantasy” category rather than documentary. Many, if not most, of his most specific and dire predictions have simply failed to materialize, even as they continue to be cited as justification for sweeping government intervention and massive public spending.

One of Gore’s most concrete forecasts of doom centered on Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro, whose shrinking snowcap he dramatically showcased as proof of man-made global warming. After displaying older photographs of the mountain blanketed in snow alongside more recent images with visibly reduced coverage, he blamed the change on global warming and then warned, “Within the decade, there will be no more snows on Kilimanjaro.”
That prediction has not aged well, to put it mildly, as more recent images and data show that the mountain’s snow has not vanished in the manner Gore so confidently proclaimed. Critics have highlighted this failure as emblematic of a broader pattern in climate alarmism: bold, headline-grabbing claims that are quietly forgotten when reality refuses to cooperate, even as the political and financial machinery built on those claims grinds on.

Gore’s next major example in the film involved Glacier National Park in Montana, which he used as another visual prop in his narrative of imminent environmental collapse. He recounted how he had climbed there with his daughter in 1998, then presented photographs showing reduced glacial coverage and delivered another ominous forecast: “Within 15 years, this will be the park formerly known as Glacier,” he says, to oohs and aahs from the crowd.
Yet by 2020, the National Park Service had quietly removed a sign at a visitor center that had warned the park’s glaciers would soon disappear, because it had become obvious that the prediction was not coming true. The quiet removal of that sign, without the fanfare that accompanied the original claim, underscores how often failed climate prophecies are memory-holed rather than honestly reassessed.

Gore also sounded the alarm over Arctic sea ice, insisting it was rapidly and relentlessly diminishing in a way that portended disaster. In reality, more recent measurements for 2025–2026 show sea ice extent roughly in line with 2012–2013 levels, only slightly below the 1980–2010 average — a period that itself includes the colder conditions of the 1970s, which naturally skew the baseline.

On hurricanes, Gore again leaned into worst-case scenarios, predicting a future marked by many more powerful storms as a direct consequence of climate change. Yet a study has shown that the “Accumulated Cyclone Energy” in 2006 was higher than it was in 2025, another data point that undercuts the simplistic narrative that every weather fluctuation is proof of impending climate Armageddon.

The pattern is hard to ignore: “Al Gore is an inconvenient climate change huckster. What a shock that all his predictions were wrong! People are utterly foolish to believe any of these grifters.” While not every statement he made was false, the overarching claim that the world is on the brink of near-term annihilation has not been borne out, and even figures like Bill Gates have begun to walk back the most hysterical rhetoric as it becomes clear that the doomsday crowd is starting to resemble Henny Penny.

Meanwhile, the real-world consequences of this sustained panic are substantial and, in many cases, deeply harmful to Western prosperity and security. As the late Rush Limbaugh liked to say, the “environmentalist wackos” have pushed Europe into a precarious energy position in pursuit of their green utopia, while the American landscape is increasingly dotted with inefficient, bird-killing wind turbines and subsidized projects that often fail to deliver on their promises.
The financial grift associated with this movement is similarly staggering, with “unknown billions” poured into politically favored ventures that collapse or underperform, as the Solyndra scandal so memorably illustrated. “The unknown billions in grift will probably never be known — remember Solyndra? There’s been so much more since then,” and yet the same political class continues to demand more money, more regulation, and more control.

All the while, Gore himself has done quite well, living a lifestyle that hardly reflects the austere carbon discipline he preaches to everyone else. “Have you seen Al Gore’s beachfront property and his mansion in Tennessee? He is leaving a larger carbon footprint than 100 people,” one critic noted, highlighting the familiar progressive pattern of rules for thee, but not for me.

It is little wonder, then, that “the reason you don’t see Al Bore Gore in the news much these days is that nobody is listening to him anymore, not even the progressive media.” The truly inconvenient truth for the climate-industrial complex is that fear-mongering, failed predictions, and forced reliance on unreliable, not-ready-for-prime-time energy sources are not a serious path to responsible environmental stewardship or human flourishing.

A more rational approach would emphasize innovation, human dignity, and economic freedom over centralized control and perpetual crisis. “Advancing technology, a people-first approach, and clear-eyed thinking. Those are the answers,” not endless mandates, confiscatory spending, and a political class that profits from panic while ordinary citizens pay the price.
