"Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it," Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film "An Inconvenient Truth", showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2. With that outlook in mind, what do world climate experts actually think about the science of his movie?
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."
But surely Carter is merely part of what most people regard as a tiny cadre of "climate change skeptics" who disagree with the "vast majority of scientists" Gore cites?
No; Carter is one of hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. "Climate experts" is the operative term here. Why? Because what Gore's "majority of scientists" think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field.
I think that since this is half of the Left's platform for November, it is not good news to have scientists tell Gore how silly he is...I guess it doesn't matter, the Left has got everyone believing that we are all going to drown next week.
Add in the other half of their platform, losing in Iraq...and I don't know why anyone would vote for them...
And yes, that is MY OPINION on what their positions are...it is my blog so I can put MY OPINION...that is what a blog is about...you can debate that, but libs, why don't you take a chill pill before you respond this time.

Global warming is not a partisan subject. I have not read or heard one word about climate or gloabal warming as any part of the Left's "platform" in November.
Again, you just made that up. But it's your blog so you can make stuff up if you want.
I think it is amusing that when Republics disagree on such subjects as immigration, wire-tapping, tax cuts, etc. it shows that the Republic party is a big tent party with a variety of opinions, but when it's the Democrats who have varying opinions, they are in disarray.
Pretty funny.
I think the Democrats will have plenty of reasons to vote for them when they start talking about fiscal restraint, corruption, higher education, health care, environment, energy alternatives, and more.
Thanks for posting this article, game. The scientists quoted contest the consensus held by the media and Hollywood *with* evidence, something fans of Al Gore will not be thrilled about.
Included in the article are Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, University of Winnipeg climatology professor Dr. Tim Ball, Carleton University paleoclimatologist Professor Tim Patterson, University of Helsinki's professor of marine geology Dr. Boris Winterhalter, Stockholm University's emeritus professor of Dept. of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology Dr. Wibjörn Karlén, Dr. Dick Morgan-- former advisor to the World Meteorological Organization and climatology researcher at University of Exeter, U.K. ---- all puppets of ExxonMobil, I'm certain. /s
My main problem with the global warming zealots is not the diagnosis, which is being debated, but their socialist cure, which is concretely worse than any imagined disease.
this is what they keep talking about...
hollywood liberals, Dem's in congress...they love this issue...can't prove it wrong for thousands of years
And yes, that is MY OPINION on what their positions are...it is my blog so I can put MY OPINION...that is what a blog is about...you can debate that, but libs, why don't you take a chill pill before you respond this time.
Well, if YOUR OPINIONS weren't based on such complete utter NONSENSE and BULLSHIT and LIES, no one would care.
you got in the new Democratic talk point word...lie...nice job...
where are the lies here?
seems like the only lies come from gore...I'll believe a majority of scientist
hint: the more swearing and mad libs get, the more right you are
