"The process of creating a 90-minute documentary from the original peer-reviewed science for an audience of moviegoers in the U.S. and around the world is complex. Vice President Gore has studied this issue for over 30 years. He regularly seeks the advice and feedback of scientists to understand the latest research. It's not easy, even for Ph.D.'s, to explain the concept of the "non-linearity" of the climate system even after decades in their respective fields. Imagine trying to translate that complicated scientific evidence into a clear and compelling message with only a single slide and 20 seconds to make your case. It isn't simple. In many cases, particular points had to be truncated and shortened from the original research. A movie inherently cannot reflect the depth of the science as the 3 volumes of the IPCC and other sources from which it draws. The original science cannot speak to moviegoers. And, as is not made clear by the Fact Checker, the judge stated clearly that he was not attempting to perform "an analysis of the scientific questions" in his ruling."

If he couldn’t explain it to us unwashed masses, then perhaps he should have foregone the lil movie altogether, hmmm?

No he has NOT!

All the stuff in his books is simply cut & pasted from others.

I’m reminded of another movie’s tagline...

“Keep repeating: It’s only a movie! It’s only a movie! It’s only a movie!”

Your theories, including the shrine you built for yourself (profile) are as full of holes as Swiss cheese.

You and Al Gore can go ahead and have your fun. As time proves both of you wrong, I am wondering what your reaction will be.

How long can you go on looking for loopholes, and ignoring many facts. In other words, I am wondering how long and how deep in denial will you sink.

A movie can't reflect the difference between AlGore's 20 feet of ocean rising and the IPCC's 20 inches?

What is most incredible in the materials you have provided is the complete collapse of critical facilities with regard to the CO2 level/warming timing. If temperatures rise first, then CO2, as appears to be the historical record, how well the curves “fit” is entirely irrelevant, since the overall question is one of causation. Could the Fact Checker be so unintelligent as to not perceive this? More likely, he is trying to “polish the turd”.

Clearly, you have bought into the global warming myth in a big way.

One question for you: do you think the warming trend is so dangerous, and the science is so settled, that there should be no further skepticsm among climate scientists, and that skeptics of all stripes should be treated as dangerous and silenced and ostracized from their communities (whatever their community might be)?

"Imagine trying to translate that complicated scientific evidence into a clear and compelling message with only a single slide and 20 seconds to make your case."

Who placed such "restrictions" on Gore? Why nobody, but Gore himself! If there is "scientific evidence" to explain, you explain it, no matter how many "slides" and minutes you need. The fact of the matter is, Gore's method did a fine job of explaining his "scientfic evidence". The fact of the matter is, when you boil it all down and reduce it into as simple an explanation as possible and it looks like B.S., that's what it was in the first place. Al Gore is not a 'scientist'. Al Gore did not spend 30 years studying the science surrounding the earths climate.

He spend 30 years regurgitating idiotic B.S. and UN world government strategy, Gaea mother earth religion and ways of implementing it. In fact Gore, a fanatic Gaea worshiper, he participated in the carrying of it's "ark of the covenant" ceremony, the official UN launch of the new "one world religion" to replace all others. Climate change fearmongering is one of the methods used to sign up countries to this one world government 'earth charter scam.

Had he studied the science, then he could claim to be somewhat of a scientist. He studied B.S. however, so that makes him a B.S. artist. He studied Liberal elitist idiocy, which makes him an idiot. He studied UN Marxist on world government strategy and how to destroy the US constitution and sign the USA up to be governed by unelected, elitist UN marxists, which makes him a traitor.

I'm calling BS on this!! He hasn't been interested in this subject for more than 15 years; since just before he got shut down for President! Before that, I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to find ANYTHING from Algore about Global Warming. He may have talked about the environment, because he would have been sucking up to the Greenies.

O come on. You can't possibly believe that crap. The only thing Gore has studied for 30 years is poll results and the art of sweet heart deals with shady characters, just like his segregationist daddy did.

if one begins a research with an assumption, in this case the unproven assumption that humans cause global warming; that is the stipulation, then the conclusion is as faulty as the stipulation.

Also, I have read repeatedly that the southern hemisphere (southern Africa and South America) has experienced record cold temps this winter and that the ice cap on Antarctica is thicker than ever.

Has that info been taken into account by any of the noted scientists?

You know dude, you really don’t need all of the elegant websites to prop up you argument. I recall your famous statement in another post many months ago: “I’ve chosen to disregard that data”.

One can argue anything when one ignores logic. The primary trouble with global warming is that it is an absurd concept on its face and the trouble is that well meaning people actually argue the ‘facts’ about it. It is similar to arguments about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

There has always been climate change. That is nothing new. Simply put even those who rail against manmade warming do so with the operative assumption that it is going to continue. There is absolutely zero evidence that it will. Belief to the contrary implies that one can predict the future. Please tell us all the next six digits in a major lottery if you can do that.

My suggestion is to stop putting your faith in mindless websites and use your reasoning skills instead. If you believe websites I can show you a whole slew that shows exactly where Atlantis is located. They are as valid as the ones that demonstrate manmade global warming as reality.

Did you see 20/20 tonight? John Stossel did a terrific job (in only a ten minute segment) exposing the “global warming” hoax for the alarmist claptrap that it is. He even interviewed scientists who quit the IPCC because they were so disgusted. In fact, one of them had to sue to get his name taken off an IPCC report.
