Likewise, Gore agonizes over the accelerated melting of ice in Greenland and what it means for the planet, but overlooks the IPCC’s conclusion that, if sustained, the current rate of melting would add just three inches to the sea level rise by the end of the century. Gore also takes no notice of research showing that Greenland’s temperatures were higher in 1941 than they are today.
同样地，戈尔为格陵兰岛冰层的加速融化以及它将给地球带来的后果而感到忧心忡忡，但是却忽略了联合国政府间气候变化专家小组得出的结论，即如果保持现在的融化速度，到本世纪末海平面只会因此而上升3英寸。戈尔显然也没注意到研究显示格陵兰岛1941年的温度要比今天高。
