An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore’s academic credentials.

You need to be calling the superintendent’s office to find out why propaganda is being taught to children.

Did her teacher show the other point of view? I thought not. This is not the way education is supposed to work.

The Newsweek article from 1978 about global cooling would be worth a mention. Show how agendas are constantly being showered on the public.

“My daughter has to do a report in 9th grade Biology based on the book “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore.

Can anyone recommend sources that disprove it?”

Google “global warming hoax” for starters.

Richard S. Lindzen wrote in a June 26, 2006 op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that Gore was using a biased presentation to exploit the fears of the public for his own political gain. [75] Roy Spencer wrote an open letter to Gore criticizing his presentation of climate science in the film, asserting that the Arctic had a similar temperature in the 1930s before the mass emissions of carbon dioxide began.[76] Timothy F. Ball rejected Gore’s claim that there has been a sharp drop-off in the thickness of the Arctic ice cap since 1970, stating that the data was taken only from an isolated area of the Arctic and during a specific cooling period.[77] William Gray said of the movie: "We're brainwashing our children. They're going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."[78] While discussing the companion book to the movie Gray said, "This is a slick propaganda book. The pictures are very good. But there are factual errors."[79] A March 13, 2007 article in The New York Times reported on concerns among some scientists about the tone and the accuracy of the film, noting that they "argue that some of Mr. Gore’s central points are exaggerated and erroneous". Gore's discussion of a rise in sea level of up to 20 feet, while not stating a timeframe, appears in contrast with a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which predicts a maximum rise of 23 inches this century, excluding non-linear effects on ice sheets; although that too discusses the possibilities of higher rises if the ice sheets melt. The article also states that "a report last June by the National Academies seemed to contradict Mr. Gore’s portrayal of recent temperatures as the highest in the past millennium."[6] The article quotes both defenders and critics of the film; Gore responds that scientists may disagree with him on some details, "but we do agree on the fundamentals."[6]

Al Gore’s book is Earth in the Balance. Use the Unibomber Manifesto to expose the insanity.

I also recommend Michael Crichton's beautifully-stated talk at Caltech entitled "Aliens Cause Global Warming" (http://www.s8int.com/crichton.html).

An Inconvenient Book by Glenn Beck has quite a bit of research concerning this very subject. Worth a look.

Do a search here on FR and find where Al Gore went from a net worth of a few million to 100 million thanks to corporate sponsors after his Nobel Prize—

Simply have her bring in Al Gore’s book, and beside it set a roll of toilet paper.

Object lessons are often the most effective.

It’s a lot of information and a lot of links to follow but it’s worth it.

Absolutely, you need to take a stand and refuse to use this as fact! Pick another book and use this to discredit An Inconvenient Truth. This just chaps me.
