Al Gore's 2007 Doomsday Prediction Debunked: Polar Ice Still Here, Civilization Still Standing

"The experts have told us... that something basic is wrong. We are what is wrong, and we must make it right."

During his acceptance speech for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore predicted 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."

"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."
