It seems that the rising sea levels are Al Gore's science, which Aerohead appears to say is flawless. Purchasing the $9 Million beach side mansion seems to be the personal life that does not seem to be of concern to Aerohead.

Changing climate: 10 years after An Inconvenient Truth
2006: The warming ocean could fuel more frequent and more intense Atlantic hurricanes.
2016: Hurricane frequency has dropped somewhat; hurricane intensities haven’t changed much — yet.

2006: Freshwater flowing into the North Atlantic could shut down the ocean conveyor belt that shuttles warm water toward Western Europe.
2016: The ocean conveyor belt may already be slowing, but it’s not much of a conveyor belt at that.

2006: Climate change exacerbated droughts that contributed to regional conflicts, such as the war in Darfur.
2016: Drought conditions worsened by climate change helped spark the Syrian civil war.

2006: The Arctic could see its first sea ice–free summers in the next 50 to 70 years.
2016: Arctic summer sea ice may disappear as early as 2052.
[Wait, what? Gore said the north pole would have melted already, not between 2056 and 2076]

2006: Rising temperatures are warming the Antarctic and melting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
2016: The West Antarctic Ice Sheet could cross a point of no return.

2006: Melting ice and expanding seawater are raising global sea levels.
2016: Historical evidence suggests sea levels can rise more than 10 times as fast as they are now.

2006: Warming temperatures will cause more frequent and more deadly heat waves.
2016: Humidity may make future heat waves deadlier; cold snaps are on the decline.

2006: The long-term effects of climate change deserve immediate action.
2016: Taking action comes with other, more immediate perks.
[This is not urgent?]

Science News says Gore got 6/8 points right?
