On Thursday, Al Gore appeared at the inaugural Sustainability in Entertainment Honors, an event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance. During a keynote discussion with West Wing actor Bradley Whitford, the two reflected on their Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Notably absent from their conversation was acknowledgment of the film’s prediction that Earth’s ecosystems would hit an irreversible tipping point within a decade due to industrial activity—a timeline that passed ten years ago without the predicted catastrophe materializing.

During the discussion, Gore stated that the concept for An Inconvenient Truth originated from his promotional work for the 2004 sci-fi film The Day After Tomorrow. However, throughout the keynote, he repeatedly confused this title with the 1983 nuclear war drama The Day After. Later, referencing the disaster movie, Gore claimed that the catastrophic scenario depicted in the film represents a very real threat within the next 25 years. The text also notes the contrast between Gore’s advocacy and his lifestyle owning multiple mansions and traveling via private jets.

The event itself was described as a celebration of Hollywood environmentalism, featuring executives from major industry players like Netflix, CAA, and the Television Academy. These figures discussed their efforts to promote climate awareness while navigating the irony of advocating for reduced consumption amid their own high-consumption lifestyles.

Gore is almost 80 years old and will be gone by the time his forecast is found to be untrue like other doomsday claims he’s made in the past. But the grifter keeps on grifting.
