Al Gore's Nine Lies

A lot has happened since Newsweek's Nov. 9 cover story -- most
recently the retraction of Al Gore's rising-seas scenario.

Climate Fraud: The godfather of climate hysteria is in hiding as another of his wild claims unravels — this one about global warming causing seas to swallow us up.

We've not seen or heard much of the former vice president, Oscar winner and Nobel Prize recipient recently as the case for disastrous man-made climate change collapses.

Perhaps he's off reading how scientists were forced to withdraw a study on a projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding two "technical" mistakes that undermined the findings.

The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience, allegedly confirmed the conclusions of the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that sea levels would rise due to climate change. The IPCC put the rise at 59 centimeters by 2100. The Nature Geoscience study put it at up to 82 centimeters.

Many considered the study and the IPCC's estimates too conservative in their warnings. After all, Al Gore, in his award-winning opus, "An Inconvenient Truth," laughingly called a documentary, foretold an apocalyptic vision of the devastation caused by a 20-foot rise in sea levels due to melting polar ice caps "in the near future."

Now Mark Siddall, from the Earth Sciences Department at England's University of Bristol, has formally retracted the study. "One mistake was a miscalculation; the other was not to allow fully for temperature change over the past 2,000 years," he said.

According to Siddall, "People make mistakes, and mistakes happen in science." They seem to be happening a lot lately, and more than just mistakes. We are talking about outright fraud, the deliberate manipulation and destruction of data.

Al Gore, “the thinking man’s thinking man” ... John Edwards the “beautiful potential Vice President” ... the stupid press, little wonder their credibility is in the dumper.

The press also thought Obama was the intellecturals intellectual - turns out he can't speak without a teleprompter. And Saint Kennedy ... all of 'em - the rapists, the killers, the drunks and drug addicts - all Saints...

Hangin’s too good for this POS.

James Imhofe is opening an investigation into the lies that drove climate legislation and want Al Gore to testify before the Senate committee.

Senator Inhofe has asked for an investigation, but there's little chance that Sen. Barbara Boxer (Moonbat - CA) will give it to him.

She's in control of the Senate committee that would authorize it.

What kind of charges? Nothing illegal about selling a bogus idea. He is exploiting the gullible and selling it. If people are dumb enough to pay this fool $, they deserve to lose it. Call it the “tax on stupidity”. Besides, its liberals ripping of liberals-they deserve each other!

[Kaslin]

Hmm, you got a good point

[raptor22]

No problemo. I ping, therefore I am.

[raptor22]

Excellent

Let’s just dismantle his genitals and get it over with.

Here’s the rationalization from the folks who came up with the bogus value for the magnitude of the rise in sea level:

According to Siddall, “People make mistakes, and mistakes happen in science.”

And here’s the curious thing about the “mistakes” that “happen” in “climate science” - they ALWAYS happen in the SAME direction - the direction that makes global warming seem more likely, or the direction that makes the effects of global warming seem more harmful.

People who do actual experiments in actual laboratories know that actual human “mistakes” lead to a more random generation of errors.

Was that seriously the cover?

Cause that is one scary face!

Thanx !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !
