"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?
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."

An Inconvenint Truth.. Gore lost
Gore will do anything to save his fellow trees.
Here are a couple of highlights for those not inclined to read it all:
Gore's point that 200 cities and towns in the American West set all time high temperature records is also misleading according to Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. "It is not unusual for some locations, out of the thousands of cities and towns in the U.S., to set all-time records," he says. "The actual data shows that overall, recent temperatures in the U.S. were not unusual."
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."
I hope the award is made from Brazilian rainforest wood. :)
Damn you, Manbearpig!
Poor, incompetent Gore. It's pretty bad when even the socialists say you're crazy.

Hold onto this in case he decides to run for Prez again.
Expensive, tax-funded inquiry and dedication to the grant, you mean!

Is that the same thing you said yesterday?
Yes....some may fear dismissal or attacks from their liberal colleagues if they question the left's 'junk science'.
Several years ago a climate scientist told me that 'there was a lot of money to be made in investigating global warming' even though he was convinced it was a hoax.
I applaud those who have spoken out.
