    THE 35 BLATANT ERRORS OR LIES IN ‘AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH’
    1. Sea level “rising 6 m”
    Even the IPCC’s maximum estimate is a mere 59cm… In the year 2100.
    2. Pacific islands “drowning”
    They aren’t. The sea levels around the Maldives haven’t changed for 1250 years. Same goes for Vanuatu.
    3. Thermohaline circulation “stopping”
    In reality, it is strengthening.
    4. CO2 “driving temperature”
    It is a clear and well accepted fact that temperature drives CO2 levels.
    5. Snows of Kilimanjaro “melting”
    Temperature at the summit never rises above freezing. Most of the melt occured before 1936.
    6. Lake Chad “drying up”
    It also dried up in 8500BC, 5500BC, 1000BC and 100BC. Where was our carbon-polluting human industry then?
    7. Hurricane Katrina “man made”
    Maximum hurricane wind speed and number of hurricanes has not increased.

    8. Polar bears “dying”
    Four bears died in a storm. Four. Measly. Bears. Meanwhile, there are 25000 polar bears today compared to 5000 in 1940.
    9. Coral reefs “bleaching”
    It was caused by an unusual El Nino pattern, not global warming.
    10. 100 ppmv of CO2 “melting mile-thick ice”
    Gore overstates the effect of CO2 ten times greater than even the IPCC’s highest estimate.
    11. Hurricane Caterina “manmade”
    Air temperatures in the area were the coldest in 25 years, not warmest.
    12. Japanese typhoons “a new record”
    Tropical cyclone frequency has fallen in the past 50 years.
    13. Hurricanes “getting stronger
    They haven’t in 60 years.
    14. Big storm insurances losses “increasing”
    Insured losses in hurricane-prione areas were lower in 2005 than 1905.
    15. Mumbai “flooding”
    There’s been no increase in rainfall over 48 years.
    16. Severe tornadoes “more frequent”
    Severe tornadoes have fallen in frequency for the last 50 years. Tropical storms are also at the lowest frequency in decades.

    17. The sun “heats the Arctic ocean”
    The ocean emits more heat than it receives from the sun.
    18. Arctic “warming fastest”
    It’s actually 1 degree cooler now than in 1940.
    19. Greenland ice sheet “unstable”
    The ice sheet did not break up during the last three times when the temperature was 5 degrees hotter than today.
    20. Himalayan glacial melt waters “failing”
    The snow melt which provides water has not decreased in 40 years.
    21. Peruvian glaciers “disappearing”
    For the past 10,000 years the Peruvian ‘glacier’ region has been mostly ice free.
    22. Mountain glaciers worldwide “disappearing”
    Human CO2 output has had no effect on the already-present glacier shortening trend.
    [​IMG]

    23. Sahara desert “drying”
    In the past 25 years, the Sahara shrunk by 300,000 square kilometres due to increased rainfall.
    24. West Antarctic ice sheet “unstable”
    Antarctic ice is at its thickest in nearly 28 years.
    25. Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves “breaking up”
    Gore concentrates on the 2% of Antarctica that is experiencing some warming, while conciously neglecting to mention the 98% of Antarctica that is cooling.
    26. Larsen B Ice Shelf “broke up because of ‘global warming’”
    The ice shelfs have been breaking up since 10,000 years ago.
    27. Mosquitoes “climbing to higher altitudes”
    The graph says it all: Wrong.
    [​IMG]



    28. Many tropical diseases “spread through ‘global warming’”
    None of the diseases quoted are tropical, none are affected by increasing temperature, and some even cause more harm at colder temperatures.
    29. West Nile virus in the US “spread through ‘global warming’”
    West Nile virus flourishes in any climate, from desert to ice.
    30. Carbon dioxide is “pollution”
    Forests are thriving due to the increasing CO2 levels.
    31. The European heat wave of 2003 “killed 35,000″
    Cold snaps kill people, but the IPCC does not include the number of lives that would be saved due to less cold weather.
    32. Pied flycatchers “cannot feed their young”
    A few tens of kilometres north, and there is no notable difference.
    33. Gore’s bogus pictures and film footage
    Gore plays fast and loose with falsely used images.
    34. The Thames Barrier “closing more frequently”
    It is closed to retain tidal water in the Thames.
    35. “No fact…in dispute by anybody.”
    Do I even have to mention these?

    Al Gore is in the business of selling "Carbon Credits".
    This movie is nothing more than an infomercial to sell them.
    A bunch of liberal propaganda created for financial and political gain.

    Agreed. I tried to sit through that flick once. Didn't get very far at all before I got tired of shaking my head, so I turned it off.

    A great documentary that deals with the issues of climate change, peak oil, population overshoot, and collapse of ecosystems is "What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire". Download it if you can, it's amazing.

    Gore was simply doing a big sales pitch for energy companies that have bought up all of the "green" ideas. It stands to make billions and like any politician, he or she will hawk everything including the kitchen sink to get the public on board.

    Another example of similar pitches: "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction (GWB, 2002-2003)" or "If this little nation can't maintain an independence, ask yourself what will happen to all the other little nations? (LBJ,1965-1966)"

    I had to watch this in 7th grade. I think some of it's real, like we need to change, but I don't think all the stuff he was saying is true. Lots of bullshit.

    There were huge errors.
    It was full of BS.
    But, so what if the illustrations he provided were fundementaly false, such as the ice sheet falling away, that was actually a regular occurence and that particual ice-sheet has not declined at all.
    AND?
    Is there a fundemental truth?
    YES.
    No doubt.

    I guess I forgive him because I have sympathy for his cause...but it does irk me the way he did it.

    There are a few errors and exaggerations; this is not a scientific document, it's popular science journalism by a non-scientist, and campaigning journalism at that. That said, the science is substantively correct, the overall message is overwhelmingly correct, it is clear and well presented for the consumption of a wide audience. Well worth watching, as an introduction to the issues - never should this be seen as some kind of definitive statement, and the science is of course changing all the time.

    Yeah. He may or may not be completely on the money, but at the end of the day his message is good and his statements are rooted in truth.

    Bottom line: We are not taking care of our planet, and we really do need to.

    Al Gore is an absolute laughing stock and a pathetic excuse for a human being.

    What truth?

    Gore's message is not that WE need to take care of the planet. His message is that we need more government (and less freedoms) to take care of the planet, while enforcing a scam that will pump tons of money into his wallet. It's total BS. Al Gore is just another globalist fascist out to con the people into accepting their own enslavement.

    Now that it's clear global warming is not our fault we all like to laugh at Gore and all this doomspreading of course. That we're raping the earth is still the case though. Al Gore and his incorrect truth may be exaggerating and even wrong, this is still a big problem indeed:
