Al Gore's Science Fiction


Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth" is dismissed in a Congressional Working Paper as "science fiction". The document is a 140-page dissection of the movie, with impressive scientific stuff and extensive footnoting as backup.
Rather like the ridiculously monstrous, overwhelming, impossible-to-make-sense-of IPCC thingy, I think...
You know, I prefer the relative brevity of a focussed, well-founded-by-fact, 140-page document to something so brobdingnagian (as the IPCC thingy), as to be virtually impossible to bother to get into, which is the inconvenient truth of the IPCC documentation. No wonder so many "scientists" had just given up, taken the easy (and unethical, unscientific) way out and just went "Oh, screw the evidence... let's just agree that the sky is falling! Much easier that way... now let's go get shitfaced to celebrate and congratulate each other and hope for great riches to fall into our laps!"

(...)In reality, the film is a computer-enhanced lawyer's brief for global warming alarmism and energy rationing.

The only facts and studies Gore considers are those convenient to his scare-them-green agenda
The alarmists still sound dogmatic. I just don't trust them. They're simply too scary, too extreme.
I thought the left didn't like "scary, extreme" stuff. They ludicrously call conservatives "scary, extreme", but the left obviously is fine with this scare campaign led by money-and-power-mad Chicken Littles like Al Gore.
Al Gore is just so full of hot air himself that it's a wonder he doesn't explode!
