Just to be clear - I don't "support" the Daily Mail. However the information contained in their article is freely available elsewhere and is easily verifiable as fact - Al Gore made and alarmist prediction and it failed to come true.

I didn't snub the article from Nasa. I read the whole thing. Nothing in that article was particularly convincing. It was just about yet another study of something that may or may not happen, that may or may not be caused by man, that may or may not cause global catastrophe. In ten years it too may or may not be added to the list of failed predictions.

I don't know about you but I for one am rather fatigued from the constant alarmism trotted out by government agencies, the media and all of their eager acolytes in the public sphere.

As for Al Gore - he is no longer a politician. He is an advocate of alarmism and a lobbyist. As such he deserves any and all criticism that is valid. As the snake-oil salesman that he is that is a lot of criticism.
