| segajon said: how has gore misrepresented anything on cimate change |
Al Gore's environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth contains nine key scientific errors, a High Court judge ruled yesterday.
The judge declined to ban the Academy Award-winning film from British schools, but ruled that it can only be shown with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination.
In the documentary, directed by Davis Guggenheim, the former US vice president and environmental activist calls on people to fight global warming because "humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb".
But Judge Michael Burton ruled yesterday that errors had arisen "in the context of alarmism and exaggeration" in order to support Mr Gore's thesis on global warming
The 9 scientific errors were the only ones which could be (conclusively) demonstrated to be false (or exagerated), there are dozens of claims in that movie where the science is disputed, and even more claims where the existing data does not (fully) support the conclusion being made. In other words, the movie is a misrepresentation of science for the purpose of putting you into a panic.
