"The Inconvenient Truth" is indeed inconvenient to alarmists
By Tom Harris
Monday, June 12, 2006

"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth", showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2. With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?

Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

I think Michael Moore will sue for production plagerisim.

"Kevin Hennessy from CSRO Division of Atmospheric Research in Aspendale, Victoria who’s preparing a response for the newspapers. He says, “Bob Carter didn’t mention the greater body of evidence for global warming documented by the IPCC, paid little attention to flaws identified in the papers by Soon, Baliunas, McIntyre and McKitrick, and failed to alert us of the latest research by Mann and Jones in 2003, which confirms that the 20th Century warming in the Northern Hemisphere is greater than at any time in the past 1800 years.” That’s Kevin Hennessy from CSIRO."

It's also helpful to know that Exxon is secretly paying him for those soundbites:

Nah I think moore probably helped to write the stuff for them.

So this Bob Carter guy is on exxon's payroll?

If that's the case, maybe Hangtime was right, just not in the way he thought.

It was what, about 20 years ago when Bush senior stood in front of Boston harbor and made it a political issue?

My sister is still in highschool. She is taking AP Environmental Science next year. Her teacher mandated that over the summer, the students watched "An Inconvenient Truth."

It makes me wish it was me who was going through that school still. I'd stir up so much ****...

Weaselsan, you must realize that it is waste of time to argue with religious zealots. They will not listen to anything that deviates from their religious dogma or contradicts their High Priests of Environmental Doom.

Environmentalism is the new urban religion and the Global Socialist Government is their promised land. Global Warming is their "Book of Revelation", their "Judgement Day" if you will.

"Repent, or we shall all surely die!"

Lastly, always remember this. No matter what tragedies Liberal/Leftist policies produce it is never, ever their fault.

Of course you are more than welcome to "shoot the messenger" as that is standard practice for the zealot when faced with an "unbeliever".

Just for the record. No I'm not being paid by Exxon Mobile, I'm not an activist for the republican party, in fact I don't even work for a US corporation. (I work for a UK corp.)

But before you get all wired up, if you criticize me to much I'll bring out a tried and true liberal tactic. I'll run to the media and claim I'm receiving death threats.

Um....that describes both major political parties in both Houses of Congress as well as the current Executive Branch, within the U.S.

Nothing but soundbites these days, presented in a propoganda form that Goebbels would be proud of.

A pox on both their houses.

Yeah, burning hyrdocarbons at full blast for 100 years does nothing to the environment.

"Yeah, burning hyrdocarbons at full blast for 100 years does nothing to the environment."

I'd wager the effect is far less than volcanic activity over a few million years. 100 years is virtually nothing on a geologic scale.

We humans have an amazing ability to overestimate our own importance.

LOL..... Turns out this guy is a paid shill for Exxon. What do you think he's going to say?

It aint so suprising that Exxon has to contract out for this kind of thing - all of Exxon's regular payroll shills are too busy writing policy papers for the Bush admin.

By all means, enlighten us when you get the opportunity to hear from bonafide scientists who don't happen to also be getting paid by either the government or the oil companies.

Appearing before the Commons Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development last year, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson testified, "There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years." Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"

Patterson is a shill for Exxon ? Link?

How about.....

Dr. Boris Winterhalter, former marine researcher at the Geological Survey of Finland and professor in marine geology, University of Helsinki, takes apart Gore's dramatic display of Antarctic glaciers collapsing into the sea. "The breaking glacier wall is a normally occurring phenomenon which is due to the normal advance of a glacier," says Winterhalter. "In Antarctica the temperature is low enough to prohibit melting of the ice front, so if the ice is grounded, it has to break off in beautiful ice cascades. If the water is deep enough icebergs will form."

An Exxon shill?

It's Al Gore throwing a tantrum....If I can't be President, your all gonna die!!!
