9 Errors to Inconvenient truth
1 Error: Mr. Gore asserted that a sea level rise of up to 20 feet would be casued by melting of ice sheets “in the near future”
JUDGE: “This is distinctly alarmist:, and will only occur after, and over, millennia.”
2 Error: Low-lying pacific atolls have already been evacuated.
JUDGE: There was no evidence of any evacuation having yet happened.
3 Error: The Gulf Stream, that warms up the Atlantic, would shut down.
JUDGE: It was “very unlikely” it would shut down in the future, though it might slow down
4: Error: Graphs showing a rise in CO2 and the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years showed “an exact fit.”
JUDGE: There was a connection, but “the two graphs do not establish what Mr. Gore asserts”.
5 Error: The disappearance of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro was due to global warming.
JUDGE: It cannot be established that the recession of snows on Mt. Kilimanjaro is mainly attributed to human induced climate change.
6 Error: The drying up of Lake Chad is a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming.
JUDGE: Insufficient to establish the exact cause.
7 Error: Hurricane Katrina blamed on global warming
JUDGE: There was insufficient evidence to support that.
8 Error: Polar bears were being found that had actually drowned “swimming long distances-up to 60 miles-to find the ice”.
JUDGE: Only four polar bears have recently been found drowned, because of a storm.
9 Error: Coral reefs were bleaching because of global warming and other factors.
JUDGE: Separating the impacts of stresses due to climate change from oter stresses, such as over-fishing and pollution, was difficult
The British newspapers are full of stories this morning about a High Court judge's criticisms of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth movie. See The Times, Daily Mail and Guardian.
Mr Justice Barton had been asked to rule on the film after the British Government had announced plans to have it distributed throughout the nation's schools.
Justice Barton found 'nine scientific errors' in the film and accused Mr Gore of "alarmism" and "exaggeration". Although he agreed that the film was "powerful, dramatically presented and highly professionally produced," he said that it was a political film and was so "one-sided" that it needed to be accompanied with other materials that provided pupils with balance if the Government was to continue with its plans to distribute it to schools.
The nine errors are summarised in the Daily Mail graphic that is reproduced on the right (click to enlarge).
Even the environment analyst of the BBC - which has been at the forefront of campaigning for action on climate change and was recently forced into cancelling a day of programmes dedicated to the subject - said the ruling would be "embarrassing" for Al Gore.
The Conservative Party's environment spokesman, Peter Ainsworth, has called upon the Government to prepare "a proper, up to-date, education pack about climate change - based on current evidence" and distribute that to schools, rather than the Al Gore movie.

My husband is now there where he just got stationed. I stayed back until we can find a place to live. Our problem is they didn't allow us to look for a place until he got there (this past Monday) and we will not have a car. Finding a place close by the base with a bus line that will take him there is really hard. I want to know if anyone is there now who could help? If anyone can tell me where a close place to go would be of great appreciation! I called the bus line already and they are saying that it would take 4 hours to get to the base. He has PT at 6am everyday and the bus will arrive at 9 am at the earliest. Then he will have to come home and take a shower only to go back! So you can see the bus will be a problem. But that was from University Place. I have no clue what to do! PLEASE HELP! I will be arriving on the 20th with our 2 kids so we really need to find something quick !

there are more important things going on than an incident that happened almost 100 years ago. What about the war in Iraq (and our relations with Turkey), what about the SCHIP bill? What about illegal immigration? I don't understand the motivation in doing this now. Do you??

The democrats just passed a resolution condemming our ally Turkey for killing Armenians 90 years ago. Turkey is a key ally in the war on terror.
They're not passing resolutions condemming FDR's ally Joseph Stalin for killing millions of Ukraiaians. Why don't the democrats talk about that, instead of insulting our ally Turkey? Is it because the democrats are looking for a new way to insure our defeat in Iraq? And because they don't want to say anything bad about an ally of FDR, who is the father of the modern democrat party?

...but support those who citicize the military and the war in Iraq who themselve haven't served?
Just FYI, I served in the Army, though fortunately I never saw combat. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but see the value in it when it's necessary. I'm sure there will be liberals ripping that view, but of course, before I give their bellyaching any weight, I'll have to verify they've served themselves.

Secular liberals think they have the answer just as Christians do…
What is the difference?
And don’t tell me secular/atheist liberals don’t kill… there is SUBSTANTIAL demonstrative history to prove otherwise. Take some history classes if you want proof, or find your own links.
