I searched for "al gore saying "the artic could be ice free in 5 years" and found "2008 Al Gore video where he predicts that the arctic would be ice-free in 5 years."

So, the the video was in 2008, and he said in five years, so by 2013, not 2010, but it still came and went.
Can we get back to not discussing that clown? I try to forget about him!
In more important news, that link led me to this:
