'Global Warming Is Lies' Claims Documentary (http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowStory.asp?story=CZ434669U&news_headline=global_warming_is_lies_claims_docume ntary)


"Al Gore might have won an Oscar for ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, but the film is very misleading and he has got the relationship between CO2 and climate change the wrong way round."

One major piece of evidence of CO2 causing global warming are ice core samples from Antarctica, which show that for hundreds of years, global warming has been accompanied by higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.

In ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ Al Gore is shown claiming this proves the theory, but palaeontologist Professor Ian Clark claims in the documentary that it actually shows the opposite.

He has evidence showing that warmer spells in the Earth’s history actually came an average of 800 years before the rise in CO2 levels.
Seems I've heard that somewhere before...

So, how does the U.N. Propose we halt Galactic Warming?

Oh, and about Algore's indulgences? It turns out it's worse than purchasing indulgences from the church of environmentalism -- he's buying them from himself.

The Tennessean (http://tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070227/NEWS01/702270382) reports that Algore buys his carbon offset from some company called "Generation Investment Management."

Funny thing, Algore co-founded and, currently, is the Chairman of Generation Investment Management and, presumably, earns a salary in that position as well as dividends on any stocks he holds from that company.

What'cha wanna bet he earns more from his association with Generation Investment Management than he pays in, in the form of offset purchases.

He's a bigger hypocrite than I thought.

I agree with you about Gore being a hypocrite.

To be fair (and balanced), you should also call out the right wing hypocrite politicians too.

A couple of questions.

1) Do you know how Tradable Emission Credits work?

2) Do you think Bill Gates earns more from his association with Microsoft that he pays in, in the form of copies of Windows Vista?

Not so fast...

LYNCHBURG, Va. The Reverend Jerry Falwell says global warming is "Satan's attempt to redirect the church's primary focus" from evangelism to environmentalism.

Falwell told his Baptist congregation in Lynchburg yesterday that "the jury is still out" on whether humans are causing -- or could stop -- global warming.

But he said some "naive Christian leaders" are being "duped" by arguments like those presented in former Vice President Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth. Falwell says the documentary should have been titled "A Convenient Untruth."

Falwell said the Bible teaches that God will maintain the Earth until Jesus returns, so Christians should be responsible environmentalists, but not what he calls ... quote ... "first-class nuts."

Thank God there's still a courageous Christian leader like Jerry Falwell to remind us that Politics should not be a Christian's primary focus.
