when shown in other countries like the UK? Why is it that the US people are so stupid? I'm a US citizen too, born and raised here, but it's soooo freaking sad to see how many people here are idiots. I mean really. The true minority in this country is actually not black, latino or chinese. Intelligent people are the true minority. People just believe whatever they are told republicans and democrats alike, without ever considering the source and without critically thinking about these issues. People are more concerned about big brother 8 or survivor, tanning shows, Wadafuc people actually watch reality shows about TANNING???!!!!! you know what, the usa deserves to be blown away if we're going to be intentionally stupid. What do you guys think?

well actually it was just 9 but some of the specific non-truths (lies) illustrated in the film include:
The claim that sea levels could rise by 20ft “in the near future” was dismissed as “distinctly alarmist”.

Such a rise would take place “only after, and over, millennia”. Mr Justice Burton added: “The ar-mageddon scenario he predicts, inso-far as it suggests that sea level rises of seven metres might occur in the immediate future, is not in line with the scientific consensus.”

A claim that atolls in the Pacific had already been evacuated was supported by “no evidence”, while to suggest that two graphs showing carbon dioxide levels and temperatures over the last 650,000 years were an “exact fit” overstated the case.
"Alarmist," "no evidence," "overstated" - not to mention the judge calling the movie a "political film" - would seem to destroy the credibility of Gore's vision of disaster. But don't worry, the Global Warming crew will be out in full force touting the idea that "most" of the film passes muster with scientists despite its blatant political bias.

The hoodwinking of the people continues...

NOT errors. Points that are contested.

""""Children's Minister Kevin Brennan had earlier said: "It is important to be clear that the central arguments put forward in An Inconvenient Truth, that climate change is mainly caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases and will have serious adverse consequences, are supported by the vast weight of scientific opinion.

"Nothing in the judge's comments today detract from that." ""

Global warming was never about science. It is a political movement.
