Al Gore says the doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago "were proven dead right," so we should take them even more seriously now.
He says it's "inevitable that we're going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go."
Reminder, in 2006, Gore warned that the world would reach a "point of no return" in 10 years.
He also said there would be "no more snows of Kilimanjaro" within a decade, which proved false.
He also predicted in 2009 that there was a 75% chance of the North Pole losing all of its ice during parts of the summer by the year 2016. That didn't happen, either.
Everyone talks about the Strait of Hormuz as an oil chokepoint. And it is — 20% of the world's oil transits those waters. But oil has a Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Fertilizer does not. And roughly 15% of global phosphate exports, plus massive volumes of sulfur and ammonia, transit through the same strait.
An oil disruption shows up at the pump within days. A fertilizer disruption is invisible for months — until the harvest comes in short and food prices explode. China understands it now, which is why they've been hoarding. Russia weaponized it in 2022. The West still hasn't built any meaningful redundancy. We've been positioning for exactly this scenario in my real assets investment research:

Top Biden FAA official: “We need a diverse group of air traffic controllers to bring distinct perspectives.”
Given this DEI emphasis on the part of the Democrats, is it wrong to ask whether sub-standard hiring practices contributed to a fatal collision?
