Al Gore recently had a conference with members of the climate media and actually took questions....which he almost never does. I guess he was confident that most of the climate media would fawn over him.
Only problem was that Phelim McAleer, the maker of Not Evil Just Wrong, showed up and as some liberals are known to do when the questioning gets tough....the organizers cut his mike as he asked some tough questions of Gore:

All Gore could do was hem and haw and then go back to his typical backup. Polar bears.....what about the polar bears!
Retarded.
And his claim that the courts vindicated his movie? Not so true:
One day before Friday's announcement that he was a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a British High Court judge ruled that Gore's global warming film, "An Inconvenient Truth," while "broadly accurate," contained nine significant errors.The ruling came on a challenge from a UK school official who did not want to show the film to students. High Court Judge Michael Burton said that the film is "substantially founded upon scientific research and fact" but that the errors were made in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration."
Burton found that screening the film in British secondary schools violated laws barring the promotion of partisan political views in the classroom. But he allowed the film to be shown on the condition that it is accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore's "one-sided" views, saying that the film's "apocalyptic vision" was not an impartial analysis of climate change.
He hangs his hat on the fact that the movie was allowed to be played as long as notes were presented to the class that balances Gore's one-sided view and exposed all the errors?
That's what he's proud of?
What Phelim says at the end of that video bears repeating:
At the Society for Environmental Journalists, the reaction of the journalists, the reaction of Andrew Revkin of the New York Times, the reaction of the journalists, was to shut down the journalists and protect the politicians.What I would like of environmental journalists like myself is that you treat Big Environment the same way as you treat Big Politics, and Big Government, and Big Business. Y'know, treat Big Environment the way you treat Big Business. Where does the money come? Who's channeling it? .... Where is the independent verification of those claims? But they don't. If an environmentalist organizer says something, it's accepted as gospel.
Phelim is on a roll....here he is questioning those going to a premier of a global warming alarmist movie and gets thrown out.

Leftists are making the world a scary place to be an individual in.
Yes they are, and our government is way out of control
Not!
Getting thrown out of a global warming fest is a quick end to wasting time.
ping to myself
True, cultists hate to be challenged by outsiders.
Snow flakes, Gore, do you get that? It is freaking cold here. I grew up in Tennessee, where you claim to be from, and I know what a Tennessee winter feels like. They have those here in Wisconsin, they are call "May" and "June".
I wish, for once, your fat, lying ass was correct and that there actually was "global warming". Last winter was brutal and this one will be as well.
You got richer telling this lie. Now, could you please just shut up and retire back to DC or where ever it is you and Tipper live. You could always go back to the "family farm" in Tennessee where you "grew tobacco" - remember how you said that when you were running for Senate?
The ice over Chicago will be 100 feet and old Al Bore will still be talking about global warming.
Al Gore mentions that polar bears are endangered in the Q and A video.
To this Mr McLeer responds that “the polar bear numbers have increased and are increasing”
Al Gore: do you think they are endangered?
Phelim McAleer: the polar bear numbers have increased
Al Gore: do you think they are endangered?
Phelim McAleer: the polar bear numbers have increased, I mean if the number of polar bears increase surely they are not endangered...
At this point to save Al Gore from further embarrassment they cut of the microphone.
Looks like not even the inconvenient truths about polar bear numbers are welcomed by environmentalists.
Getting thrown out is better than getting burned at the stake — the usual punishment for heretics who dare to question the dogma.
It's past time for the MSM to "get real"...
It's past time for the MSM to "get real" - and the New York Times and the Washington Post...
Lawrence Solomon: The end is near ( global warming scare is all over but the shouting )
