Fresh off his Oscar coronation, Al Gore is stepping up his jihad against global warming skeptics by continuing his campaign to stop the media from covering their viewpoint at all.
In a speech delivered Tuesday, Gore blasted media organizations for giving any credence at all to people who see things differently than him on global warming. The former veep denounced what he termed "balance as bias" in environment reporting:
Gore told a crowd of about 50 people at the U.S. Media Ethics Summit II that the presentation's single most provocative slide was one that contrasts results of two long-term studies. A 10-year University of California study found that essentially zero percent of peer-reviewed scientific journal articles disagreed that global warming exists, whereas, another study found that 53 percent of mainstream newspaper articles disagreed the global warming premise.
He noted that recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its fourth unanimous report calling on world leaders to take action on global warming.
"I believe that is one of the principal reasons why political leaders around the world have not yet taken action," Gore said. "There are many reasons, but one of the principal reasons in my view is more than half of the mainstream media have rejected the scientific consensus implicitly — and I say 'rejected,' perhaps it's the wrong word. They have failed to report that it is the consensus and instead have chosen … balance as bias.
"I don't think that any of the editors or reporters responsible for one of these stories saying, 'It may be real, it may not be real,' is unethical. But I think they made the wrong choice, and I think the consequences are severe.
"I think if it is important to look at the pressures that made it more likely than not that mainstream journalists in the United States would convey a wholly inaccurate conclusion about the most important moral, ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced."
Not very many people showed up, but Gore's remarks are significant in that they demonstrate that for all the (usually correct) complaints people on the right make about the media being unfair, things have gotten better to a certain degree to make far left people like Al Gore complain about the media.
That's a small progress to be sure (imagine the media outcry that would ensue if a conservative figure had used such authoritarian language) but I think it's true that many younger media types have gotten a clue about fairness. This enrages the older lefties (like Gore or Dan Rather) who are used to the idea of a media that marginalizes the right and portrays anything remotely conservative as an incarnation of evil.

Dear Al;Had you been honest
February 28, 2007 - 16:43 ET by bassndudeDear Al;
Had you been honest and open, not droped water vapor and a few other gases, included the Sun in your equation and not deleted unfavorable data in favor of fabricated data, perhaps you would have been taken more seriously. But then, had you done that, you would have droped the "man made" global scare and move off into graceful obscurity. Which, by the way, is where your headed anyway, but with out the grace, just a whole lot of slinking with your lies bumping you in your butt on the way.

February 28, 2007 - 16:45 ET by ecnirPI believe the tide has turned. The "believers" have ratcheted up forcing their views, and I'm starting to see more and more articles pop up, and people coming forward, starting to call this joke what it is. The people who aren't following this issue closely aren't being sold, and they're demonstrating a healthy, normal skepticism.

February 28, 2007 - 17:51 ET by Dave RecnirP,
I agree. For a while there it seemed as though the momentun had swung their way permanently. Then, that Heidi Cullen GW NAZI over at The "Weather" Channel fuehrer bunker proclaimed that anyone in the business who didn't bow at the altar of Al Gore should have their credentials revoked. I believe that did more than anything else to wake people up and spark what has become a rollicking debate.
Sure, the Self-Appointed Most-High Priest of the Church of Global Warming, Al Gore, may have the liberal MSM eating out of his hand, but the problem for the bloated Minister of Deceit is that many of us don't get our news there anymore.
I applaud all the contributers here at NB for not letting this overweight hypocritical barister off the hook.

February 28, 2007 - 16:46 ET by Tim the EnchanterThis is all very simple, Mr. manbearpig.
Is the global temperature increasing? Perhaps. Not a lot of good long-term consistent data (by that I mean methodologies of gathering that data, and accuracy thereof). Extrapolating that data- always a risky process. What curve does the data fit? Does it even fit a curve? Pure guesswork.
Are the temperature variations extreme? No. Nothing seen today is outside what could reasonably be expected from year to year.
Is mankind responsible for this? Extremenly doubtful. Especially to those who actually have college degrees in real disciplines and have taken (and passed) courses in the hard sciences, like physics.
Solution? Take some physics courses so that you understand how the world really works.

February 28, 2007 - 23:39 ET by danbo.Not really. Remember, for years the satellite readings weren't showing any warming. Nor did the balloon readings. So they reconfigured the formula for the readings. Only then did they find warming. If my memory is correct John Christy and Roy Spencer neither fond of AGW have discussed this.
So the satellite records themselves are not consistent.

I see Gore is still using polls and surveys to dictate policy. Then, as usual in such polls, compares the results of two different questions that use two differnt (unknown to the reader) methodologies to "prove" a desired result that has marginal relevance to either of the questions asked.
Has Gore ever taken a real science class?
For example, I can believe that "global warming exists" and "disagree on the global warming premise." The "global warming premise" being that its caused by man and will lead to global catastrophe.

February 28, 2007 - 17:03 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveThis is Gore's religion. He said it is "the most important moral,
ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced."
Global Warming is more important than Jesus? or Fighting Terrorism or fighting anti-semitism, or defeating the Japanese and the Nazis in WWII, or winning the cold war?
This is not a moral issue. It is not an ethical issue. It is not a spiritual issue. It is ALL political.
I believe it is a good thing to take care of the environment but, in moderation. Fanaticism in anything is unhealthy and dangerous.
Al Gore is in beyond fanaticism, he is a Anthropogenic Global Warming/Envrionmental Fascist...if we don't agree with him then in his mind we are automatically wrong and therefore immoral, unethical, unspiritual, and political dissidents or traitors. Essentially, if we aren't with him, we're against him (didn't Bush take a lot of flack for saying that?).
Al Gore: HYPOCRISY at its worst.
**Edit** Also, isn't Gore Southern Baptist or otherwise of a Christian faith? If so he is violating #1 of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me." This crusade of his really is his religion now.

Gore's Church
February 28, 2007 - 17:27 ET by exLibI guess this would be the equivalent of Galileo being thrown out of the church for disagreeing with them.
The NYT actually had an article a week or so ago about a guy who got a PHD in Evolutionary science, or something like it anyway, but the guy actually believed in the Biblical account as literally 7 days.
The gist of the article was that this guy should not be given a PHD because he didn't actually worship at the altar of "evolution" and questioned the tenants. They were particularly enraged by the fact that the guy had a degree from havard or something and was posting on a Chrisitan site using some of the things he "learned" at the college and showing the holes in the theories.
Here we have the Liberal Conundrum. In another thread we note that the Media will not post articles that disparage Democrats or make them look dumb.
In another post we note that the media in general reports unfavorably as rule on Christians (a vast majority of the US population) and will not report unfavorably as a rule on homosexuals, a vast minority.
Yet Al Gore says the vast minority of voices, those voices which the left wants to champion when it suits their needs, is a voice that should NOT be heard.

I wish people would get off
February 28, 2007 - 17:42 ET by Tim the EnchanterI wish people would get off the Galileo stuff already. Galileo was condemmed, not for his theory itself (which did turn out to be true), but for teaching an unproved (at the time) theory as fact. Isn't this the same thing Algore is doing? Pushing an unsubstantiated theory as fact, before all the evidence is in? You may also be interested in knowing that a great many of our scientific discoveries were based on the work of monks. The Church was not interested in stifling scientific inquiry- in fact, it was the Church who first surmised that objective truth could be discovered, since the Creator is Truth itself, and He could be known. Then, as now, there were always this theory and that theory floating around, and the Church wanted to be sure that what was being proposed was indeed true, beyond any shadow of a doubt. Galileo tried to rush things- that's what got him into trouble, not anti-scientific bigotry.

February 28, 2007 - 18:59 ET by rocksf18jazzFirst Galileo, observed, experimented, recorded what he saw, and developed the theory that the earth was not the center of the universe, contrary to what the Church preached (earth centered). He (Galileo) published his findings, this made the Church less receptive to findings, and basically made him renounce his theories or face something less hospitable than in Italy.
Observing our environment, we can conclude the sun warms the planet, so can Mr Al. Given some basic Pareto (another Italian) determinations as to top major 5 contributors to GW, 100 ppm increase in CO2 is not even on observable event given measurment uncertainty of taking temperatures and co-relating it to the theory that it is principle cause of GW.
Is man causing localized GW, absolutely, just look at night time temperatures for any inner city vs. nearby country side temperature.
The Goracle is out to lunch when his auguments are stack against any real science of quantitive origin and math. Although as to getting off oil as our principle fuel, he is right on target, even he doesn't practice what he preaches. Any real conservative knows we need diverse energy base to rid ourselves with oil export cartel power (Iran/Saudi Arabia/Russia/Venezula), but we'll have to feel more pain economically before that takes place.

February 28, 2007 - 19:08 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveThe difference between urban and country-side temperatures is not global warming nor is it climate change. "Localized GW" is an oxymoron of sorts. It can't be global if it's localized.

Well, yeah. "Peer review" is supposed to mean that someone with knowledge of the subject looks at the study to make sure its methods are sound and its conclusions follow from its data. The process however gives true believers the opportunity to filter out any opinion to the contrary by preventing its publication. Academic journals in any field are echo chambers of conventional wisdom; dissenters need not apply for grants nor expect any outlet of their ideas.

Yes, people like Mr. Gore are putting a lot of pressure on the media to report nothing but their side of the story, and we should all be concerned. If this is, in fact, the "most important moral, ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has every faced" we should consider all the science and not let people like Mr. Gore shut off the debate.

I cannot believe that Gore has the audacity to blame the MEDIA for why people don't take global warming more seriously. I think this article is a lesson on the the true man that is Al Gore. He is the most inconsistent liberal out there.

March 1, 2007 - 21:53 ET by wwjThe 10-year study mentioned in the post about no dissenting peer-reviewed papers is FALSE. Check out this page http://www.cfact-europe.org/index1.html
Dr. Benny Peiser tried to duplicate the work done and could not. He found that 1% of the abstracts explicitly agreed with man-made global warming and that another 29% implicitly agreed but focused on other aspects of global warming.
About 3% rejected or doubt man is the cause of the recent warming and another 4% focused on natural factors for warming. The remaing percentage addressed other issues surrounding warming.
Dr. Peiser pointed this out to Science magazine and they REFUSED to print his information. Which side in the debate is biased again, Mr. Gore??

March 2, 2007 - 00:28 ET by dahliatraversThe results of my analysis contradict Oreskes' findings and essentially falsify her study: Of all 1117 abstracts, only 13 (or 1%) explicitly endorse the 'consensus view'.
