Al Gore, the “mastermind” behind “An Inconvenient Truth,” predicted a fiery cataclysm that would end the human race in just a single decade.
Gore's prediction was made in 2006, and those who with an elementary level of knowledge of mathematics can deduce that we have reached the deadline.
Radio personality Rush Limbaugh was so amused by the apocalyptic premonition that, on Jan. 27, 2006, he decided to start a countdown to "Armageddon."
"You know, Al is a funny guy, but he's also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan,” Limbaugh said nearly 10 years ago.
“The last time I heard some liberal talk about ‘10 years’ it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had 10 years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got 10 years. 10 years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen.”
According to that countdown clock, we only have 22 days and some hours until Gore believes we’ve reached “the point of no return.”
As Limbaugh said then, we can agree now that “You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.”
