On a day like today, it is fun to remember that a British court cited 11 specific inaccuracies in "An Inconvenient Truth" and require that British schools call attention to these errors when showing the film:

In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.

8. 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.

9. The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.

10. 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.

11. 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.

It's the whole story behind the AGW scam.

Re Miller, it's high time we started simply ridiculing Al Gore. During his 'testimony' yesterday I found it hard to keep from laughing out loud, and I don't know how all those congresspersons kept straight faces.

look who 'invited' him to speak! the villiage idiots on the hill are not smart enough to perpetuate the agw scam. gore makes the case for them and they use it to create a phoney tax .

Our home, Earth, is in danger.

In the actual testimony, Gore said "Our home," then paused a split second to add "Earth." Why did he feel the need to explain that our planet is named Earth?

More importantly, this was testimony before Congress. How many Congressmen did Gore suspect were ignorant of the fact that our planet was called "Earth?"

Yes, I know that this (probably) wasn't Gore's motive for saying it the way he did. But it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

AlGore may just be onto something. Think about it, if the ocean levels rise as much as this Tennessee yokel predicts it will, what then becomes of Malibu and all of the ocean front homes owned by the Hollywierd numbnuts? They flood! And who among you wouldn't drool over the idea of seeing Barbara Streisand, Demi Moore, Redford and their ilk clinging to the tops of their houses like a bunch of drowning rats? (Sorry rats, I know that is demeaning to you)

Come on global warming! Time's a wasting. Oh, and Demi...if it happens, I Pledge...not to give a sh*t.

every time they have these conferences.....there is a blizzard going on outside.

Al Gore says, in part: "But I just think that the United States is the only nation that can lead the world."

How about this, Al:  I just think Al Gore is the only person that can lead the United States.  As in, when your personal power usage is well below the average home's power usage, I might think you really believe there's a crises.  And no, "carbon credits" don't count as a "balance" for power usage.

This too shall pass.

I solemnly swear never to exceed the amount of power used by Al Gore.   I never expect to exceed, in a year, the amount of power Al Gore uses in a month.
