Reader Warren Z. sends this tidbit along this morning. It’s a fun one because it’s always fun watching videos of self-important leftist frauds making total fools out of themselves on shows like Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show, while millions watched like awe-struck mental sponges as they learn the science of Al Gore’s investment fund —oops sorry I mean “man-made global warming”, um, “science”.
Watch as he reveals how ignorant of basic earth science and actual facts that he really is. And watch how the Harvard-educated O’Brien eats it up like candy. And of course as usual, observe how nobody in the media has mocked him for being such a, well, such an idiot, and a phony.

This is mind blowing ignorance on the part of Al Gore. Gore in an 11/12/09 interview on NBC’s tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, speaking on geothermal energy, champion of slide show science, can’t even get the temperature of earth’s mantle right, claiming “several million degrees” at “2 kilometers or so down”. Oh, and the “crust of the earth is hot” too.
Temperature of the sun’s corona: 1–2 million kelvin
Temperature of the sun’s photosphere: 6,000 kelvin
Temperature of the Earths mantle, more than “2 kilometers or so down”: between 500 °C to 900 °C (773 to 1173 kelvin)
Watching Gore make a complete scientific idiot of himself on national TV: priceless
See the originating blog entry (“Watts Up With That” which is about “news and commentary on puzzling things in life, nature, science, weather, climate change, technology, and recent news by Anthony Watts. This science news site feature original content from myself as well as several contributors…”), for more graphs and charts proving Gore to be the uninformed fake we in the sensible, sober set all know he is.
But of course remember folks, “Sarah Palin’s such an idiot!” It’s all over the news! Which reminds me of our little game….
