35 Errors Discovered in Al Gore’s Film
NewsBusters readers are well aware of the recent controversy involving Al Gore’s schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
A few weeks ago, a British judge cited nine errors in the film. Team Gore responded Thursday in a rebuttal published at the Washington Post’s Fact Checker blog.
Now, famed climate change skeptic Christopher Monckton, in a detailed report published by the Science and Public Policy Institute, not only refuted Gore’s defense of the movie's contents, but also listed a total of 35 errors in the award-winning abomination responsible for most of the global warming hysteria sweeping the planet (emphasis added):

The source that you cite – the Science and Public Policy --Institute is an Exxon-funded organization. Cite a credible source criticizing Gore’s film and maybe someone might actually pay attention.

The map isn't the terrain, the 'film' isn't the facts on the ground. The film illustrates the facts, the facts themselves are in the accumulated data as published in peer reviewed journals. The data points and the physics of heat and atmosphere speak for themselves....they actually don't need a film. The film only draws the public's attention to the problem. If the 'heat' lagged behind the levels of CO2 someone has to explain why the CO2 level is currently at almost 300ppm, but the heat index isn't considerably higher then it is now. While levels of CO2 have reached, though not exceeded, 300ppm several times in the last 80 million years it took millions of years to get to that concentration. The current 298ppm has reached that level in the last less than 200 years. The rise in CO2 concentration tracks the amount of CO2 dumped into the atmosphere by the burning of coal and oil since the beginning of the industrial age in the early 1800's. If Al Gore made the same 'movie' today with the data collected since he made his last documentary he'd be able to nailed down the problem even more so than the first time. The data keeps piling up while the deniers keep fighting old battles. Is that what being 'conservative' means? Bummer for them, eh?

The British court actually said Gore's movie was great. The British judge was asked to ban the film from public schools. He refused because it was proven that the film is basically based on science and correct.

READ THE FULL DECISION, here:

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2007/2288.html

"It is substantially founded upon scientific research and fact"

"These propositions [global warming is real, mostly caused by us, a serious problem, and one we can solve], Mr Chamberlain submits (and I accept), are supported by a vast quantity of research published in peer-reviewed journals worldwide and by the great majority of the world's climate scientists"

"It is clear that the Defendant understandably formed the view that AIT was an outstanding film, and that schools should be enabled to show it to pupils."

The spin about this decision has been shameless.

Well, if you are a propagandist spouting a religious-like campaign of misinformation (that the main prophet himself doesn't even abide by), these are not 35 errors.....they are 35 'facts' that have to gain acceptance.
Isn't it interesting that Al Gore keeps revising the timeline for these cataclysmic environmental events? And no one questions him on it.

First the skeptics claimed they fund nine errors.
All of which were shown to be due to their own ignorance.
Then it was "11"--same thing
Now its supposed to be 35? ROTFLMAO

Anthropogenic global warming is a proven fact. The fact that some right-wing crackpots like the ones in your link want to claim otherwise doesn't mean anything. There' is no "controbersy."

Yes, I already knew.
Gore is ManBearPig.
He is a Total Hoax.

But isn't it fun the way he Fools the little Democrat Dirt Worshipers?????

"Environmentalism" is a Very Dangerous Radical Religion in the US.

They may even be as Radical as the Islamo-Fascists.
Both now Own the Democrat Party.

Ooooops. The Communists, Socialists, and Nazis claim that They Own the Democrat Party.

Oh, well..... Who Cares who owns the Democrats ????

So? At the end of the day it does not refute the fact that global warming is real and it affects us all. So perhaps you should stop your hating and do your part in reducing waste on the planet

Wow, that sucks for Gore, they might have to change the title now as it's not all true.

Will he have to give back that Oscar and the Nobel peace prize, Only fair since they made Milli Vanilli give back that Grammy.

Yes I did, that is why I was wondering why people think he is like this great peace maker or hero. I guess the standards of being a liberal hero are pretty damn low. His dad stood in the way of civil rights, and Tipper is into burning books and censorship. one heck of a hero ain't he?

Every film has errors, does that mean man is not polluting the atmosphere?
