More Hot Air and Over-Exaggeration from Al Gore ……
Al Gore says that 8.6 million people watched his day-long online marathon. But closer inspection reveals it was closer to 17,000. Maybe, there’s a little bit of storytelling going on and perhaps the numbers are a wee bit inflated.

And more from the MAIL ONLINE:
It was called ’24 Hours of Reality’, but Al Gore’s latest climate change campaign appears to have come up against a very inconvenient truth.
The former vice president had said that his day-long online marathon of talks on the environment on Thursday had been watched by as many as 8.6million people.
But it has now been claimed that the number of people logging on for the highly publicised presentations that were streamed around the world was closer to 17,000 people.
Reality? Viewing figures for the talks have been claimed to be much lower than those that had been reported by Al GoreDespite Gore successfully getting speakers including Renee Zellweger to make appearances, website ‘Watts Up With That?’ has revealed that internet viewing figures were way below those reported by Gore.
Using web traffic information to estimate visitor numbers, the website said that even 17,000 viewers was possibly generous.
