Al 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."

Under @POTUS's leadership, the United States successfully eroded support for the global carbon tax, forcing the @IMOHQ to consider more pragmatic proposals that don't burden Americans. The carbon tax proposal would have subjected all member states to an unsanctioned global tax regime and regressive penalties. The global carbon tax is dead.

Canada is a crappy place to invest in or do business in. The regulatory environment, coupled with the government's general ineptitude, has been strangling the Canadian economy for over a decade. A recent report from RBC concluded that over a trillion dollars in capital has fled Canada in the last ten years. The GDP per capita continues to drop and looks to be in an utter freefall when compared to the USA. We are getting poorer. Canada's productivity is horrific as well, averaging $73 USD per hour per person compared to $97 USD per hour in the USA. Even the Carney government could no longer ignore this.
Instead of addressing the root causes of why Canada has become an investment pariah, the Carney government has instead announced the creation of a $25 billion sovereign wealth fund. Citizens who truly hate their pocketbook are even invited to invest in this catastrophe in waiting, too, if the tax dollar dump doesn't feel like enough.
The government will set the standards for how it will determine who gets a piece of this fund. That invariably leads to well-connected insiders with questionable investment notions. The grifters can smell opportunities like this a mile away, and rest assured, they are already salivating over this one.
The foundation of this fund is like the debacle of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. Government policies made expanding the pipeline so economically unviable that the private proponent of the project pulled the plug. Even the Trudeau government realized it had pushed things too far, but rather than cut away the roadblocks that had driven the investors away, the government bought the project. Then, through mismanagement, they built the project at a 600% higher price and years late. The taxpayer never needed to invest a penny if the government could just get out of the way. The principle remains the same with other major projects.
Carney has already been misrepresenting this fund by calling it a sovereign wealth fund and comparing it to what Norway has. Sovereign wealth funds are created through government surpluses, not by putting the bill on the credit card of the taxpayers. The funds also typically have a mandate of stabilizing the local economy and investing to get a maximum rate of return. In Norway, the fund purposely invests 100% outside of the country so it doesn't meddle with the domestic economy. It is also mostly placed in relatively safe equities, real estate, and bonds.
Carney's debt fund will stay 100% within Canada and will be dedicated to high-risk investments. If the investments weren't high risk, private investors would buy in without tax funding. This is just another corporate welfare fund that will predominantly invest in losers. It likely will be targeted to areas where the Liberals need growth in electoral support rather than areas in need of development. There is already the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other government subsidy programs in place. There is no need to create another one.
All these funds and initiatives avoid addressing the elephant in the room. Political red tape in general has been hampering all developments, but the granddaddy of all the roadblocks is the de facto veto authority given to indigenous bands over all projects. Chiefs, both elected and appointed, along with a plethora of lawyers and bureaucrats, swarm every new development with demands and threats despite not having the authority to stop them. Not a single major project in Canada has been proposed that doesn't have one indigenous band or another opposing it.
What Carney is creating is corporate debt slush fund paid for by us.

Between January 2023 and May 2025, Fortune 100 companies reduced their use of the term "DEI" by 98%, according to an analysis by Gravity Research.
Within weeks of President Trump's executive order targeting federal DEI initiatives, major corporations including McDonald's, Walmart, and Target announced they were ending DEI programs.
DEI is far from dead. According to "inclusion consultant" Lily Zheng, its disguise is now called FAIR: Fairness, Access, Inclusion, and Representation. "It's not just a communications rebrand," Zheng recently told Time magazine. "It's not just that we're avoiding the letters DEI and trying to replace it with FAIR. It's that the work itself is evolving."
Instead of counting the number of women or people of color in leadership positions, FAIR focuses on changing institutional systems. Instead of heritage celebrations, FAIR embeds what it calls "inclusion" into hiring algorithms, promotion processes, and organizational structures.
The goal is no longer to showcase diversity initiatives. The goal is to make those initiatives invisible and permanent.
Progressives adapted after losing Virginia elections in 2021. Teachers' unions suffered a historic defeat. Rather than retreat, Data for Progress and similar groups spent millions analyzing voter habits and anxieties, then redesigned their campaign around different messaging. By 2023, Democrats won nearly every close Virginia race.
Progressives don't abandon goals when challenged. They simply adapt their methods. Similarly, when conservatives successfully challenged outrageously unconstitutional explicit DEI programs, the machinery wasn't dismantled. It burrowed deeper into institutional foundations, where it became harder to identify and harder to remove.

Avery disturbing TikTok video has gone viral after a pregnant woman recorded herself playing ABBA songs to make her unborn son gay — while thousands of mothers cheered her on in the comments and across social media.
The video shows her blasting the lyrics "Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight" next to her stomach.

The old Canadian dream used to be to own your own home free and clear. Today it's to get out of Canada.
