NY TIMES PLANS TUESDAY HIT ON GORE, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE: 'Scientists argue that Gore's warnings are full of exaggerated claims and startling errors'... Developing..
From a Rapt Audience, a Call to Cool the Hype
"Hollywood has a thing for Al Gore and his three-alarm film on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth,” which won an Academy Award for best documentary. So do many environmentalists, who praise him as a visionary, and many scientists, who laud him for raising public awareness of climate change.
But part of his scientific audience is uneasy. In talks, articles and blog entries that have appeared since his film and accompanying book came out last year, these scientists argue that some of Mr. Gore’s central points are exaggerated and erroneous. They are alarmed, some say, at what they call his alarmism.
“I don’t want to pick on Al Gore,” Don J. Easterbrook, an emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, told hundreds of experts at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. “But there are a lot of inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we have to temper that with real data.”.."
Apparently you are Maceman. It was a joke.
Fat & Pastey White Guy...
Simple, really. NYT are Clinton cronies so they're doing the hit piece now to deflate even the smallest twinkle in Gore's eye to run for President.
Only because he is no longer Vice President, nor President.
When he was in office, the NY Times gave his book, Earth In The Balance, a good review:
“Gore presents even familiar materials in fresh and compelling fashion. . . . Now that the cold war is over, he argues, the central strategic threat is that presented by humans to the global environment. In this context, he rethinks world's industrial and financial arrangements and proposes a 'Global Marshall Plan' for the environment. . . . The author exhibits little of the cliched myopia of his profession and is aware of the political obstacles posed by such an integrated approach. He identifies the root of our current problems as spiritual. If civilization is to persist, he maintains, it must make the rescue of the environment its organizing principle. His colleagues on Capital Hill, for starters, should read this perspicacious, heartening book and harken to its message.” (New York Times Book Review)
Not only that, but the whole thing is being orchestrated by her and the rest of the weasels running her campaign.
--Does this guy look like a faggot, or what?--
There's some resemblance to Benny Hill, yes.
LOL bttt
Can anyone say Hillary opposition research team?
BINGO!
This is good timing because An Inconvenient Truth just came on Showtime last night for the first time - It is unclear to me to which side is being more dishonest but certainly Al Gore should not be exempt.
Nowhere is in that film does he show that CO2 is causing our global warming problems, only that it correlates very well but he glosses over the lack of proof of causation.
On the other hand I also just watched the rebuttal film the Great Global Warming Swindle and its equally as dishonest. They don't rebut the actual data or the legitimate groups that have studied this, like NASA or the NOAA they make it sound like its all a U.N. plot and that we should oppose it because hippies and unions are for it.
The truth is that global warming as indicated by glaciers retreating and seas rising is a problem - a problem that continued even when temperatures stopped rising between 1945 and 1976. On the one hand this flat part indicates there are other powerful forces effecting global warming but outside of this 31 year period temperature correlates extremely well with CO2.
So we ought to be working our asses off trying to be sure of the causes instead of having one side that wants to skip the part where we prove the cause and go directly toward crippling the economy, while the other side denies that global warming is a serious problem that often correlates well with CO2.
Its getting harder to find people actually looking at the science and not taking a political posture.
Ron Brown was unavailable for comment.
Exactly...I wondered why the The Rev Al was attacking Obama and now it is clear. He was the B team while Carville, Begala and probably Rahm Emauel as the A team were off visiting the NY Times.
"The truth is that global warming as indicated by glaciers retreating and seas rising is a problem"
If it is not caused by humans, then why is it a problem?
The earth is just doing its thing as it always has and ever will.
We adapt. As we have all along. As everything has had to do to be here today. And what is considered negative for one species, is a positive for another. Thus it has always been. We react to our environment and take actions accordingly.
I walked into an executive meeting at our company this AM and one of the GMs was talking about how great Albore's movie was (he saw it last night). This guy is a PhD in engineering but obviously not in atmospheric science.
[...he looks like Dick Morris] Naw, he just sucks toe's.

The power of these films are amazing - I know a lot people really influenced by them, normally these are good, properly cynical people but see it on the screen and suddenly its got to be true.
The truth is that neither one proves nor debunks human causation for global warming and yet that's really the key question.
Dick Morris is a fabgot.
I prefer my Orville Redenbacher's with extra butter.
LOL!
...I LOVE it when they eat their own....!!!!
Of course, this has The Pantsuit's monstrous carbon footprint all over it.
Next week, the Silky Pony gets his.
