How has Al Gore's climate change predictions in 'An Inconvenient Truth' held up over time?

While Gore missed a few nuances, he got many predictions 'hauntingly right,' and current data shows the reality is even more severe than anticipated. He highlighted that the top 10 warmest years were in the 14 years before his documentary, but now those years don't even rank in the top 10 anymore - the most recent years have become the hottest on record. Gore's warnings about ocean warming leading to more destructive hurricanes have also proven accurate. Rather than overestimating climate impacts, many of his predictions have been validated and sometimes surpassed by today's scientific understanding.
