Have any of you seen this report on "An Inconvenient Truth"
This guy claims that Gore is wrong about a good number of points in his movie. He has also challenged Gore to a debate for the last 2 years with no reply from Mr. Gore. I can see why.
I just heard about thes guy Lord Mockton. He has a lot of published evidence that AGW is a scam to shut down the economy of all free market countries. He is pretty convincing, pass it on to your friends and contacts as spreading this kind of info is the best and most effective way of illuminating others.
The old on the oil pay roll deal. People on the side of global warming make more money and have more to lose financially than those against it. The argument is almost as lame as the oceans will raise 6 m by the year 2000.
I have heard all of the Big Oil lines but the sad fact is that all the autos in America put less than 8% of the CO2 in the atmoshere.
More and more scientist are coming to their senses and admitting that the data is flawed so the science is wrong.
AWG is a proven fact and there is no debating that.
So it has gone from science to religion then.
I believe that we can do things better for our environment, but calling naturally occuring gasses pollutants is rediculous. People on the AGW band wagon are calling for hydrogen fuel cell autos but the exhaust is water vapor the worst greenhouse gas there is. I don't have a degree in biology or science but I have been taking meteorology classes in the local college and by all imperical data I don't see the link, neither does most of the others in the class. Much to the dismay of our teacher who is a died in the wool AGW believer.
Linlyons:I was just sparking a debate thats all. I know what a straw man is. He's the one without the heart, or is it courage?Either way I never said I was smarter than anyone. You seem to know it all so you must be right. If you are just going to call every argument against AGW a lie then it is not science anymore but yet there still remains a large number of scientists who you'll obviously claim are funded by the phantom big oil that will say you are full of hot air. If water vapor is not a factor why is it listed as the #1 green house gas? Hydrogen fuel cells would work if one could capture the water vapor, add electricity and create electrolosys thus splitting the water into more hydrogen to be re-used, but that technology is far from being brought to market. I guess what most deniers are saying is the burden of proof rests on the pro-AGW shoulders not ours to disprove , and before you close the book on it you may want to investigate all aspects of the issue, not just yours. thanks

Yes. That is NOT a public policy website, incidentally--its a propaganda site paid for by the oil industry.
His accusations are false. What he does, mostly , is take conditional statements made in the film (where it was pointed out something "MIGHT" happen) and then attack it claiming that Gore said the event WOULD happen. The rest are simply outright lies.
No one--especially Gore --is going to waste their time "debating" man-made global warming. It's a proven fact and there is no debate.

Yeah I've seen and analyzed Monckton's paper. I found 9 of the 35 so-called "errors" were imprecise, but essentially correct, 10 were correct, and 4 were real errors. A dozen or so I couldn't judge without further research.

I don't really care about Gore or his film - it got the basic science correct, which is all I care about. Yes it could have been more precise, but Gore isn't a scientist.
If you want to learn the details about global warming, by all means, get your information directly from climate scientists. But don't get it from Monckton. He's a political and business analyst with a degree in journalism. He doesn't know what he's talking about any more than Gore does.

gee, another argument that only comes from deniers. what a surprise."
Really? Because Bob, a top contributer in the GW section of Y!A, puts forth this argument all the time.
"Have any of you seen this report on "An Inconvenient Truth"?"
Yes I have seen it. Monckton and Gore are irrelevant.

I completley agree that our climate change is first and foremost due to a natural cycle that has gone on for millions of years. However to ignore that carbon emissions play a role in speeding up this process is niave. Will carbon emissions cause some massive global wide catastrophy.... no of course not but it does have a negative effect on our environment that we should not ignore especially considering that alternatives can be available within the next few decades. Oh and by the way Al Gore is a complete dumb ***.

Gore has NEVER accepted any invitation from 100's, 1000's, including scientists to debate. He shows a Polar Bear stranded on an iceburg. Polar bears swim 100's of miles. On occasion, they stop on an iceburg to rest. Look it up. The world has been in an ice age for millions of years. It normally does NOT have ice or polar caps. That is normal. Being in an ice age, naturally, it is warming up.
Severe storms are caused by cold meeting hot. If everything was warming up, there would be less severe weather, not more. Logic people. Look it up. Global warming is happinging on Mars right now.

Because Gore's afraid of looking bad. I can't really blame him. If you don't have a really solid foundation for your claims, you can be scared you'll look like a fool. So, I guess Gore isn't really sure about his claims. I don't really have an opinion on this issue either way, I guess I'm agnostic on it, but I don't agree with Gore's views or the way he shoves them down everyone's throats.

Once Al's president this guy'll be first against the wall.
- 1 decade ago
Whether Al Gore was right or not, he was trying really hard to open everyone's eyes to the massive amounts we consume and pollute daily. If you ask me, he should be president--atleast he's trying to focus on meaningful issues.
