Innumerate Al -- By: John Derbyshire
The Corner on National Review Online — Al Gore on Conan O'Brien's show the other day: Conan:   Now, what about … you talk in the book about geothermal energy … Al:   Yeah, yeah. Conan:     and that is, as I understand it, using the heat that's generated from the core of the earth … Al:   Yeah. Conan:   … to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy? Al:   It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling ...

Al Gore: Earth’s Core At “Several Million Degrees”
Below The Beltway — It must be true, Al Gore said it: Conan: Now, what about … you talk in the book about geothermal energy … Al: Yeah, yeah. Conan: and that is, as I understand it, using the heat that’s generated from the core of the earth … Al: Yeah. Conan: … to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy? Al: It definitely is, and it’s a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two ...

Video: The Goracle on geothermal temperatures
Hot Air » Top Picks — Video: The Goracle on geothermal temperatures posted at 8:48 am on November 18, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Share on Facebook | printer-friendly Yesterday I featured the science stylings of John Kerry, who apparently can’t do math or research in his quest to sound like Chicken Little on carbon-dioxide emissions. The self-appointed dean of the American global-warming hysteria movement, Al Gore, didn’t do much better when trying to explain geothermal energy to Conan O’Brien. Gore tells Conan that geothermal energy is plentiful, because the Earth’s core temperature is millions of degrees (via John Derbyshire ): Conan: Now, what about … you talk in the book about ...

Al Gore: Basic Science
Wizbang — Over at the Corner John Derbyshire links to a clip of Al Gore on the Tonight Show explaining geothermal energy to Conan O'Brien. Let's take a listen. In case the clip gets taken down, here's the quote of interest, where Gore is explaining the source of geothermal energy. It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy -- when they think about it at all -- in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees , and the crust of the earth is hot ... Emphasis mine. Of course ...

Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees'
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — For several years as uneducated sycophants in the media gushed and fawned over every utterance from former Vice President Al Gore, NewsBusters has informed readers of just how absurd the junk science he's peddling really is. Last Thursday, NBC "Tonight Show" viewers got a perfect example of how the Nobel Laureate basically makes things up, and that his poor grades in college were quite an indicator of just how little he understands about science. So egregious was his departure from reality that the following clip should be mandatory viewing for all his fans in the media who seem to be just as scientifically-challenged (video embedded below the ...

Required viewing for Al Gore fans
Hyscience — Further evidence that Al Gore is a loon and that there is a good reason for his poor grades in college!

Al Gore: The Temperature Of The Core Of The Earth Is Several Million Degrees
Say Anything — Remember, folks, this guy is supposedly the chief representative of a scientific consensus on climate change. The problem?  Well, the core temperature of the earth is the thousands of degrees.  Not millions. If the core of the earth were a million degrees our planet would be a star.  ...

Maybe Gore misspoke
Tertium Quids — Otherwise, his statement that the earth's core (and even stranger, its crust, where we are) is "several million degrees" makes him look rather foolish:

Greg Hengler: Goracle: The Interior Temp Of The Earth Is "Several Million Degrees"
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — According to that darned thing called science, the temperature of of the earth's interior is estimated between 2000 and 7000 degrees Celsius . I'm sure the Goracle will declare in a few weeks that these estimates came from a right-wing nut and decree the debate to be over. Via Ed Morrissey
