Al Gore has made hundreds of millions of dollars on his global warming nonsense. Let that sink in. Hundreds of millions. And that was before he sold his unwatched television network to a Al-Jazeera, an Arab network funded by oil money netting him $300 million on top of the more than $100 million he already scammed out of the warming hysteria.
The mockumentry in question, An Inconvenient Truth, is so suspect that in England, if the film is to be shown in schools, teachers must make clear two things first: The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children:
- The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
- The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
- The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
- The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
- The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.
- The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age: the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
- The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
- The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.
- The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.
- The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
- The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
Not even the courts officially finding that his claims are false are enough for warming alarmists to abandon their hokum. It has been my experience that even when presented with reputable reports showing no warming in decades, and they are so deeply committed to the failed science that they blame everything on global warming, which had to be renamed after it was becoming clear that the Earth is not warming.
I agree that she deserved the Nobel Price more but isnt’ Global Warming a potential manifestation of God’s promise to destroy the world with fire. Can someone expound on this? I was taught this early but just looked up scripture and I think such a conclusion is a combination of Genesis 9:11 and 2 Peter 3:10.

Who knows, maybe. But 2 things need to be said. First when the earth was warming it did so to the tune of about .35 celcius. Second, it hasn’t warmed in about 2 decades. Its a farce. With each passing day, warming scientists are being exposed for fudging numbers and every other day new studies are proving it was all hype to begin with.
So for Gore to win a Nobel peace prize over a woman like this, or any of the other candidates who ever they may be, proves the Nobel committee is a farce.
The fact that Obama won the Nobel peace prize on the promise of peace is enough to prove the Nobel committee is a joke. Obama accepted the award then kept Guantanamo bay open and increased the droning of brown people. Both of which the opposite was expected.
“… isnt’ Global Warming a potential manifestation of God’s promise to destroy the world with fire.”
No. Despite the dramatic graphics and extreme predictions, global warming doesn’t involve the world going up in flames. If history is any example, if we *were* to increase in temperature a couple of degrees, we’d probably have a greener earth that better supports human, animal and plant life.
Just to give an example of how ludicrous the preditions are if the earth warms a mere 2-4C over 100 years or so, as the last Ice Age was ending, there was a period when the average global temperatures rose and estimated 8C within 50 years. It is believed that this warming caused ice jams to break. In what is now Canada and parts of the US, the giant Lake Agassiz drained, once into the St. Lawrence, then again into Hudson’s Bay. It is generally believed that this influx of fresh water into the oceans led to the disruption of currents, causing a sudden drop in temperatures in the Northern hemisphere and extending the Ice Age by many years. It should be noted that this is just one theory, and not one that is completely accepted.
The point, however, is that the estimated increase of 8C (assuming this theory is correct) was only a problem because it was at the tail end of an ice age. The increase in temperature itself (which did not correlate to any dramatic increases in CO2, nor any other greenhouse gas) did not lead to any of the scorched earth imagery alarmists are giving us. It was, in fact, the age of megafauna in North America.
It’s not warming that is the danger to life on earth. It’s cooling.
Personally, I think God’s promise of world destruction with fire is going to be a bit more literal.
The thing to remember is that the earth has gone through warming and cooling cycles throughout history. It’s just a normal, natural cycle. But liberals, looking for more ways to suck the government teat and impose onerous laws on everyone as they worship creation, had to make claims that it is all caused by what man does. Total lies.
