Gore said that if major ice sheets such as Greenland or West Antarctica collapsed, global sea level could rise about 20 feet (≈6 meters).

In the film he described a ~20-foot rise as a possible outcome from large-scale melting of those ice sheets and showed maps of what coastlines would look like.
Do you disagree with either of those statements?
And where is this map that "everyone remembers" showing Florida copletely under water? Do you actually believe that, or are you just being a gullible climate "sceptic"? Is it hidden in the transcript?
Do you even remember it yourself, or did you just believe whatever idiotic slogans appear on your facebook feed?

What have I taken out of context in that example?
You have given only half a side of one equation and nothing of the other side.
You are falling back on dribbling incoherently Lee, like a climate sceptic. What did I take out of context, and did it misrepresent what was said in any way?

you can pumped hydro to store solar power.
Provided you have the solar power at the time it is needed. Timing is important in all things, motor vehicles etc.
Yes Lee. Pumped Hydro is a type of battery. Welcome to the 21st century. Actually we had them early in the last century, to deal with the fact that coal fired power stations are not sufficiently dispatchable to match demand patterns.
Are you denying that gore, a man who almost got to the white house, made a film where he told the younger generations, the impressionable Greta types that a 6 m sea level rise was something we must worry about and that it would cover most of Florida? Followed by a map of the coastline of Florida and Manhattan.
Are you denying that he was out by a factor of 1000.
Are you denying Tim flannery Australian of the year said the inland of Australia would become progressively drier over the next 2 decades.
2 decades which have been wetter.
Are you denying the ACT uses electricity made by fossil fuels at night as does south Australia and the lights would go out without coal and oil.
Are you denying China has energy generation that results in prices about 1/4 of Australia whilst building a new coal plant every fortnight.
I think you need a dose of climate scepticism
