"They are quite literally afraid to know the truth," Gore said. "Because if you accept the truth of what the scientific community is saying, it gives you a moral imperative to start to rein in the 70 million tons of global warming pollution that human civilization is putting into the atmosphere every day."

It is nearing the tonnage of BS Gore shovels out on a daily basis. :)

Sorry. I`ll admit that I may have underestimated Gore`s production capabilitities. :)

"I sat there and I'm amazed at how thorough and accurate," Corell said. "After the presentation I said, `Al, I'm absolutely blown away. There's a lot of details you could get wrong.' ... I could find no error."

"The tiny errors scientists found weren't a big deal, "far, far fewer and less significant than the shortcoming in speeches by the typical politician explaining an issue," said Michael MacCracken, who used to be in charge of the nation's global warming effects program and is now chief scientist at the Climate Institute in Washington."

"Some scientists said Gore confused his ice sheets when he said the effect of the Clean Air Act is noticeable in the Antarctic ice core; it is the Greenland ice core. Others thought Gore oversimplified the causal-link between the key greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and rising temperatures."

Greenland, Antarctica. What's the difference? Ice is ice, right?

iirc, ice core evidence was beaten into the ground. This was even gone over in a previous thread. The tests touted in studies was found to use selective sampling of the cores. Cores with very high co2 ppm were discarded as anomolies, and low co2 samples were used... even though glaciers are open systems where gas can and will escape over time... making the low ppm cores invalid baselines for measuring the earth's past levels of co2.

Why were the samples dropped? It doesn't support the arguement than manmade co2 is the source of global warming. Cores with high co2 ppm show the planet has had 5x more co2 in the environment while man was still busy creating fire.

Must be those little details...

Oh My!!

Way to intense for me ... I'll Let Rush, Moore, and Gore handle it ... think I'll go back to worrying about why Swoop can't get his ring tones to load. ;)

Mind made up that Al Gore is a politician willing to "over represent the danger"? Guilty as charged.

Tell ya what beet...you get the Chinese to sign on to Kyoto, and I'll write my congressman to do the same. You got a little ways to go right now. At last count there was only one Senator on board.
