...The U.N. climate panel expects only a foot of sea-level rise over this century. Moreover, sea levels actually climbed that much over the past 150 years. Does Mr. Gore find it balanced to exaggerate the best scientific knowledge available by a factor of 20?
Mr. Gore says that global warming will increase malaria and highlights Nairobi as his key case.... Today Nairobi is considered free of malaria, but in the 1920s and '30s, when temperatures were lower than today, malaria epidemics occurred regularly. Mr. Gore's is a convenient story, but isn't it against the facts?
He considers Antarctica the canary in the mine, but again doesn't tell the full story. He presents pictures from the 2% of Antarctica that is dramatically warming and ignores the 98% that has largely cooled over the past 35 years. The U.N. panel estimates that Antarctica will actually increase its snow mass this century. Similarly, Mr. Gore points to shrinking sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere, but don't mention that sea ice in the Southern Hemisphere is increasing. Shouldn't we hear those facts? Mr. Gore talks about how the higher temperatures of global warming kill people. He specifically mentions how the European heat wave of 2003 killed 35,000. But he entirely leaves out how global warming also means less cold and saves lives. Moreover, the avoided cold deaths far outweigh the number of heat deaths. For the U.K. it is estimated that 2,000 more will die from global warming. But at the same time 20,000 fewer will die of cold. Why does Mr. Gore tell only one side of the story?
...Getting answers to hard questions is not an unreasonable expectation before we take his project seriously....

LOL! There will be puddle of lard I wouldn't want to clean up....
"Will Al Gore Melt?" is it possible that we could be so lucky?
Al Gore didnt want to debate this guy. Wonder why?
He's a liberal. Liberals don't have to deal with facts.
Mr. Rose is culture editor of Jyllands-Posten, in Copenhagen. Mr. Lomborg is a professor at the Copenhagen Business School. Mr. Gore is a pompous, self-righteous twit, late of Washington, D.C.
Think of it as alternative fuel.
If it's pork lard, then just send it to the IDF to coat their rounds with it.
Al would have his fat head handed to him, 'swhy.
BTTT
The piece is pure blasphemy. The writers need to be put in the gas chambers for spewing this global warming denial piece. Nobody dare speak against the global warming religion. Gaia is not happy.
Global Warming sounds cool, why debate it?? One of those phrases that people accept w/o question.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Al Gore and Ted Dantzen both are sure that there are only 10 more years to live.
" There will be puddle of lard I wouldn't want to clean up..."
Well, you could fry meatballs in it, and get your friends to eat them as "Art" consumers, like that twit in South America did!
I think he IS melting! He sure sweats a lot. Yish.
