Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe

"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth", showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2. With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?

As long as they agree with me--- Says Al.

As they see it.

Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

Carter does not pull his punches about Gore's activism, "The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science."

What gets me about Gore is that he thinks he's a man of science (i.e. invented the internet) and flunked out of two schools.

Wonder what he thinks about man-eating Pliocene clams?

Wow! great article. Thank you for posting.

That pic shows GorBoy has a snake like tongue. He is freaking scary.

It's wonderful to see articles like this one, too bad the only time US citizens will see it is on FR or similar sites. The MSM will never show it to the public as it does not fit their template of bad news about conservatives and this president in general. Of all the junk science out there (and there is alot) this is probably the most insidious. The only solution offered is the one which increases the slow march to socialism and the gutting of the free market/capitolist system of western democracies. Sadly enough, with the attention of the MSM and Hollywierd, the average person without the motivation to do even a little independent research is now firmly convinced that Gore's hypotheses are not only correct, they are fact, and that should scare us all!

PSSSHT! That Professeur is whack!

Yes,I predict it will be....before this movie was even released I thoroughly convinced over 10 people that Al is a lying SOB just from previews of the movie and actual scientific data and history.Once they see it,they will be FULL converts when they go in with prior knowledge of lies and distortions to SCARE the public.Al will be yesterdays news once this science fiction movie is disected.

It's starting!

Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"

Debunking the "greenhouse gas" malarkey is a slam dunk in light of this FACT.

But we all know global warming is not about science, it's about finding any possible excuse to implement the discredited socialist agenda.

Not to mention, gobbling up as much grant money as you can.

Hmmm, (Al)"Gore" and "pathetic" in the same sentence. Need anyone say more...LOL!

Why, it makes one wonder who was burning all those fossil fuels way back then.

Perhaps Al "the bore" Gore will answer that one, should we find anyone to ask him.

Or perhaps you could say that it is about science being hijacked by those that have an agenda.

[DBrow]

Yup, I agree. The press is chanting "there is no debate", which is ironic. There's no debate in the press, for sure- none is allowed.

As for people seeing the article, I'll send it to my email tree so at least a few will be exposed to it.

If everyone did the same then competing ideas will spread.

The on going debate about Climate Change and Global Warming is fashionable rather than rational; a ‘cause célèbre’ if you will. If one studies climate from the Miocene era through the all the ‘cene’ history, it is patently absurd that man has had much of an effect on the weather or that man could control the weather. Such a conceit is utterly foolish.

Gore reminds me of Henny-penny and John McCain must be Cocky-locky with their entourage of Ducky-daddles, Goosey-poosey, Turkey-lurkey, and I guess the United Nations is represented by Foxy-woxy……and Foxy-woxy gets the gold while the other nits lose all credibility in this real world…..all might as well attack and try to stop the Contenintal Drift……………………hey John, climate change is a natural phenomenon; are you sure you want to follow this crowd of idiots?

The man is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science."

..and why would these "fine practitioners" feel unable to state publically, Al Gore's assessments on the environment are pure-T B.S.?

Because they are cowardly whimps, not wanting to speak truth in fear of reprisal from their wacko, kook, insane PC colleges that supposrt such a cultish, foolish religion as today's enviromentalism.
