The hits just keep on coming. I’m loving it.
Former CNN meterologist....

Badda-Bing, Badda-Boom, Badda-Ping!
"INACCURACIES"?
"Inaccuracy" is when you predict there will be 12 named storms, and there are actually 14.
"Inaccuracy" is when you meant to say the show starts at 10:00 when you meant 9:00.
What Gore and the Global Worming crowd have done is nothing short of outright lies.
A liberal just fell past my outside office window.
Does CNN know or report that this film, complete with inaccuracies, is being shown in elementary schools all over the country?
BLASPHEMER! Arrest that denier and put him on the next boxcar heading for the Gorebal Warming Reeducation Camp with the other detainees...uhh, attendees.
Enjoy your pink slip, Robbie. Do you think CNN is going to keep you around now?
uh oh. you’re fired. welcome to fox news.
The global warming cultists will dismiss this by saying that meteorologists aren’t climate scientists.
Happy ping

Rob is a class act who will not have a contract with CNN in 2008.
The Web site RealClimate agrees that there are some inaccuracies in "An Inconvenient Truth":
Regarding Katrina:
"He also does a very good job in talking about the relationship between sea surface temperature and hurricane intensity. As one might expect, he uses the Katrina disaster to underscore the point that climate change may have serious impacts on society, but he doesn't highlight the connection any more than is appropriate..."
But more significantly:
"There are a few scientific errors that are important in the film. At one point Gore claims that you can see the aerosol concentrations in Antarctic ice cores change "in just two years", due to the U.S. Clean Air Act. You can't see dust and aerosols at all in Antarctic cores not with the naked eye and I'm skeptical you can definitively point to the influence of the Clean Air Act. I was left wondering whether Gore got this notion, and I hope he'll correct it in future versions of his slideshow. Another complaint is the juxtaposition of an image relating to CO2 emissions and an image illustrating invasive plant species. This is misleading; the problem of invasive species is predominantly due to land use change and importation, not to "global warming". Still, these are rather minor errors. It is true that the effect of reduced leaded gasoline use in the U.S. does clearly show up in Greenland ice cores; and it is also certainly true that climate change could exacerbate the problem of invasive species."
and perhaps most significantly:
"Several of my colleagues complained that a more significant error is Gore's use of the long ice core records of CO2 and temperature (from oxygen isotope measurements) in Antarctic ice cores to illustrate the correlation between the two. The complaint is that the correlation is somewhat misleading, because a number of other climate forcings besides CO2 contribute to the change in Antarctic temperature between glacial and interglacial climate."
So Marciano's point is somewhat minor, actually.

I’m surprised this was even mentioned on CNN.
