Al Gore's film- 'An Inconvenient
Truth'
Al Gore has
become one of the foremost promoters of the notion of 'climate change' or global warming.
His film An Inconvenient Truth has been shown around the world - in fact we have heard
it is often shown in high schools in Australia to educate students about 'global warming'.
But the question is: how accurate is the
film?
Christopher Monckton, of the International
Climate Science Coalition , has analysed the film, as well as Al Gore's speech to
the Bali summit in December 2007, and found many errors in the film and speech.
A recent decision by the UK High Court documented at least 9 errors in the
film and argued that all British schoolchildren who had been shown the film
should be given the correct information to counter the errors in the film.
A report on the ABC in the USA recently revealed
that Gore's film talks of ice sheves calving
- and shows a COMPUTER-GENERATED image from the film 'The Day after Tomorrow'!

UK High Court Decision on
Gore's film:
Gore climate film's nine
'errors'
BBC, Thursday, 11 October 2007
"A High Court judge
who ruled on whether climate change film, An Inconvenient Truth, could
be shown in schools said it contains nine scientific "errors".
Mr Justice
Burton said the government could still send the film to schools - if accompanied
by guidance giving the other side of the argument.
He was ruling on an attempt by a
Kent
school governor to ban the film from secondary schools...."

“Al Gore’s award-winning climate change

UK High Court and Al Gore film:
Christopher Monckton notes "A spokesman for Al Gore has issued a
questionable response to the news that in October 2007 the High Court in London
had identified nine “errors” in his movie An Inconvenient Truth.The judge had
stated that, if the UK Government had not agreed to send to every secondary
school in England a corrected guidance note making clear the mainstream
scientific position on these nine “errors”, he would have made a finding that
the Government’s distribution of the film and the first draft of the guidance
note earlier in 2007 to all English secondary schools had been an unlawful
contravention of an Act of Parliament prohibiting the political indoctrination
of children."
Gore
Used Fictional Video to Illustrate ‘Inconvenient Truth’
Noel
Shepherd, News Busters, 22/4/2008.
“It goes without saying that
climate realists around the world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false
information throughout his schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" in order to
generate global warming hysteria. On Friday, it was revealed by ABC News that
one of the famous shots of supposed Antarctic ice shelves in the film was
actually a computer-generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster
"The Day After Tomorrow."…”
