Al Gore displays how 'out of touch' he is.

During an interview with 60 Minutes to be aired this Sunday, Al Gore said:

I think that those people [who don't believe Global Warming is man-made] are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat.
Well, just for argument's sake, let's look at the numbers ...
  • 7% to 10% - Percentage of people that think it 'highly unlikely' that we landed on the moon. (SOURCE and SOURCE)

  • 32% - Percentage of people that think that the Earth is flat.* (SOURCE)
  • 52% to 65% - Percentage of people that think that threat posed by Global Warming is exaggerated. (SOURCE and SOURCE)

  • 71% - Percentage of people that think Global Warming is a natural occurence, not man-made. (SOURCE)
Sure, Al. Looks like the debate's all settled and, clearly, 71% is a 'tiny, tiny minority' ...

* - If you visit the source linked here, you'll find the source himself is a lunatic whackjob and, thus, the number might be entirely unreliable. Unfortunately, it was the only percentage I could find related to this on the entirety of the internet (or, at least, the first 10 results on Google). Sorry ...
