U.K. judge finds problems in Gore film

1 hour, 51 minutes ago

Some of the assertions in Al Gore's Oscar-winning environmental documentary are not supported by scientific evidence, a British judge said in ruling on a challenge from a school official who did not want the film shown to students.

The ruling was published Wednesday and it detailed High Court Judge Michael Burton's decision this month to allow film showings to go ahead in English secondary schools. But the judge said that written guidance to teachers designed to ensure Gore's views are not presented uncritically must accompany the showings.


Burton outlined nine problems — including Gore's claim that sea level rises of 23 feet might occur in the immediate future — something the judge characterized as "distinctly alarmist."

He also cited claims that Hurricane Katrina, the evaporation of most of Lake Chad and the melting of the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro were all caused by global warming. Burton said there was insufficient evidence to back those claims.

Al Gore is living proof that you can succeed without the benefit of reasoning or intelligence. All that it takes is lying, hypocrisy, and a father who was elected to the Senate. Can you believe this? His family makes its money through tobacco, he flies on private jets and then he has the gall to form a company to which he donates these energy credits just so he can then claim that he is a champion of the environment. And to think that this guy came close to becoming President. Let's face it - the best way to get ahead in the world's view is to lie about what you have done (like inventing the Internet) and to keep repeating the biggest lies you can concoct until the world buys into the notion that you might be right (like global warming). I am just surprised that he isn't running for President.
