Al Gore's "Fake but Accurate" Nobel

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

So it is all but certain the Goracle will be coronated as emperor of the disappearing icecaps by the Nobel Committee. By the rules of polite international society he certainly deserves it. These prizes have nothing to do with Peace, they have everything to do with toeing the liberal activist line and Al has been front and center. Global Warming is the new religion and Al is a high priest so he must be given badges of office and they will hang his prize around his neck shortly. His crowning glory is his "documentary" the inconveniently named An Inconvenient Truth

So obviously everyone should see this vital, fact-filled film right? Well the Brits were showing it to all their school kids and one parent found this problematic. Somehow he had managed to miss all his programming appointments and he was able to see the Moore-like truthiness of the film. He sued and the British courts, in a crazy moment of common sense agreed. Even better than stopping them from showing it, they said you can show it but you have to tell the kids about the biggest lies and falsehoods before they watch it. Heh and re-heh. Here is the list.

* 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.

God I hope he runs for President. He and Hilly hate each other and the fireworks would be brilliant.
