Did Al Gore predict that New York City would be underwater by the year 2000?
No, this claim misrepresents Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth.' The documentary was released in 2006, making it impossible for Gore to have predicted New York City would be underwater by 2000 in this film. This misconception is frequently cited by climate change deniers as supposed evidence that climate change is a hoax. Such mischaracterizations of Gore's statements and the documentary's content are commonly used to dismiss climate science, despite the actual predictions and timeline presented in the documentary being different from what critics claim.
