A Convenient Fraud (judge orders schools to reveal 11 errors in Al's movie!)

British Judge orders schools to reveal to students 11 major errors in Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth."
Burton also said the Government had to rewrite the guidance notes for teachers that accompany the film to point out that An Inconvenient Truth contained 11 serious untruths or unsubstantiated claims. Only then could it be shown in class.

Now THIS is a good article to read! Click on the link!

A summary of the 11 errors. There is more detail in the article, but I'm limited to a paragraph or two. READ THE ARTICLE.

* Gore presents Mt Kilimanjaro's melting snows as proof of global warming.
In fact, the snows are vanishing thanks to local factors, including deforestation.

* Gore suggests Antarctica's ice cover is melting.
Most studies says it is increasing or stable.

* Gore shows scary graphics of cities drowning in seas that rise 7m, causing millions of refugees.
But the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says the seas will rise at worst by 59cm this century.

* Gore uses images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests it was caused by global warming.
The Government's expert in this case admitted such one-off events can't be blamed on warming.

* Gore suggests ice-core evidence shows rising CO2 caused temperature rises, which ended the past seven ice ages.
In fact, the CO2 rises followed temperature rises by 800 to 2000 years.

* Gore claims global warming could stop the Gulf Stream, causing an ice age in Europe.
Recent studies deny it.

* Gore blames global warming for species losses and coral reef bleaching.
The Government couldn't show evidence to back this claim.

* Gore claims a study showed polar bears had drowned because of vanishing ice.
The study actually said just four polar bears drowned, and only because of a bad storm.

* Gore suggests Greenland's ice could melt, causing a dangerous rise in sea levels.
In fact, Greenland's ice won't melt for thousands of years.

* Gore shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims this was caused by global warming.
The Government's expert agreed this was not the case.

* Gore claims rising seas have forced people to flee Pacific islands to New Zealand.
There is no record of any such warming-caused evacuation. .

Good article. :thumb Now if we could only get our govt. and schools to do the same. :pray

Gore's an opportunist that is idiotic. He's lying, self serving hypocrite,

He's rewriting science and truth to make himself VERY wealthy and CONTROLLING.

[Mulligan]

"ONE of the world's foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize "ridiculous" and the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works".

Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, told a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina that humans were not responsible for the warming of the earth."

What's frightening is Gore is DUMBING DOWN a GENERATION OF KIDS!

"We're brainwashing our children," said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."

How marvelous. But there was much more:

Dr Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised, said a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures - related to the amount of salt in ocean water - was responsible for the global warming that he acknowledges has taken place.

However, he said, that same cycle meant a period of cooling would begin soon and last for several years.

"We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was," Dr Gray said.

...

He cited statistics showing there were 101 hurricanes from 1900 to 1949, in a period of cooler global temperatures, compared to 83 from 1957 to 2006 when the earth warmed.

Hmmm. You mean the actual statistics compiled by one of the nation's foremost experts on the subject don't comply with the hysteria being disseminated by Gore and the media?

The article concluded with a really inconvenient truth the newly crowned Nobel laureate and his disciples in the press will fight tooth and nail to prevent being shared with the general public:

"The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Dr Gray said.

He said his beliefs had made him an outsider in popular science.

"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't care about grants."

The Nobel Peace people and Al Gore hysterics don't care about science. They know little or next to nothing about science. They simply have an idiotic agenda that they will benefit from FINANCIALLY.
