Quote from: DKG on Today at 09:50:37 AMAl Gore's science fiction film An Inconvenient Truth is twenty years old today.

Gore found a willing audience of Hollywood celebrities and left-wing media outlets to uncritically promote his ideology and activism.

Unfortunately for him, 2006 is now far enough in the past that we can test some of the predictions, claims, and statements of fact he makes in that film. So that's exactly what we did.

At the start of 2026, nearly 20 years after the film hit theaters and helped pave the way for Europe's delusional "net zero" policies, electric car mandates, and low-flow showerheads, OutKick rewatched "An Inconvenient Truth" to see how well it held up over time.

Spoiler alert: not particularly well!

The film starts off as a glowing tribute to Al Gore himself, an unsurprising beginning given his obvious ego and hubris. Almost immediately afterward, it jumps straight into the propaganda.

Gore predicted there would be no snow on Mt. Kilamanjaro by now. There is lots og snow on that African mountain.

His next example of declining snow is Glacier National Park. "Within 15 years, this will be the park formerly known as Glacier," he says. Here's how poorly this prediction has aged. Even CNN was forced to report in 2020 that "Glacier National Park is replacing signs that predicted its glaciers would be gone by 2020," because, unfortunately for Gore and his agenda, there continues to be plenty of glaciers remaining.

He mentions Argentina and Peru as countries where glaciers are in danger of disappearing. Yet, as you'd expect, there are still glaciers in Argentina and Peru in 2026.

In fact, one travelog from 2025 posted photos of the El Pertito Moreno glacier in Argentina, with the comment "Just west of El Calafate, this frozen river is one of the few glaciers in the world still growing."

That fairytale was played in America's classrooms as indisputable scientific fact. To disagree with the hyperbole was heresy.

The Republicans are trying to coax John Fetterman to switch parties ahead of the midterms.

It is estimated that the fraud in Minnesota connected to 14 "high-risk" Medicaid services could top $9 billion.

Mr. Walz's prolonged failure to address the fraud prompted House Republicans to propose resolutions H.R. 6 and H.R. 7 in March that would move to impeach the governor and Attorney General Keith Ellison.

H.R. 6, which called for Walz's removal, accused the governor of engaging "in corrupt conduct in office by violating his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the laws of this state." It claimed he knowingly concealed or permitted others to conceal "widespread fraud ... despite repeated warnings, audits, reports, and public indicators of systematic abuse."
