"... it would help the folks on Gore's side of this thing if he would refrain telling an audience..."

Gore recently said that "if you go down 2 kilometers, the Earth's core is a million degrees".

He did not say whether that is F or C.

That lie is like the fish that grows a couple of feet every time the story gets told. What Gore said on the Conan O'Whatisface show was that in some areas of the earth, two kilometers down, it's "very hot." [thermal vents near volcanoes, Yellowstone Park, etc.]   The discussion was about alternative energy sources, and in this case, they were talking about geothermal energy.
