Oof. There’s always one of those.

Anyway, the actual answer to Al Gore’s question, according to the Goracle himself? Extreme heat. But that’s nothing compared to the heat he took on Twitter from joyful mockage-makers.

.@algore is all science-y so I'm sure he knew his 8 year old data directly contradicts recent data. Or he's a hack.
