Al Gore was on Conan O’Brien recently and they were discussing the current state of catholic school girl uniforms. No, not really. It would have been a lot cooler if they were because as usual with Al Gore, he was promoting the propaganda of global climate catastrophe.
During the conversation, he exposed his vast intellect by explaining how the center of the Earth was really hot.
No, hotter than that. Think “center of the sun” hot:

Conan: Now, what about … you talk in the book about geothermal energy …
Al: Yeah, yeah.
Conan: and that is, as I understand it, using the heat that’s generated from the core of the earth …
Al: Yeah.
Conan: … to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?
Al: It definitely is, and it’s a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, ’cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot …
John Derbyshire at The Corner notes:
the temperature at the earth’s core, 4,000 miles down, is usually quoted as 5,000 degrees Celsius, though these guys claim it’s much less, while some contrarian geophysicists have posted claims up to 9,000 degrees. The temperature at the surface of the Sun is around 6,000 degrees Celsius, while at the center, where nuclear fusion is going on bigtime, things get up over 10 million degrees.
If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was “several million degrees,” we’d be a star.
Good thing we aren’t looking to this guy to help create energy and environmental policy…

This guy must have graduated from the same government school as Obama. I wonder: is the temperature that high under all 56 of the United States?
