Al Gore's 2007 Nobel Speech: Predicted North Pole Ice Cap Would Disappear by 2014

During his acceptance speech for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore predicted that the north polar ice cap would be completely gone by 2014.

"We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency, a threat to the survival of our civilisation that is gathering ominous and destructive potential."

"The experts have told us it is not a passing affliction that will heal by itself... and the consistent conclusion, restated with increasing distress, is that something basic is wrong. We are what is wrong, and we must make it right."
