XM MLB Chat: British Court ruled inaccuracies in Al Gore global warming movie

REFUSENIK AL GORE (Refuses to debate). FULL OF SOUND AND FURY...MAKING BILLIONS IN HIS CARBON OFFSET BUSINESSES with the help of a compliant media.

Above clippings from British newspapers 10/10/07 via BritainandAmerica.com.

Buying and selling unregulated carbon offsets is the point of propaganda of incessant global warming/climate change. Children are being used by this cabal to get to their parents, thereby molding public opinion in favor of government takeover. Public school children should not be forced to see alarmist irrelevant political movies to begin with. Parents in the US are apparently too busy or apathetic to stop this, but one parent in England did object to his child being brainwashed Mao-style and significantly muted the process. A British High Court ruled there are

at least 9 inaccuracies in Al Gore's film:

which must be told to schoolchildren before they see the film. This action was the result of
the lawsuit brought by a British father--miraculous in the face of billions in propaganda and the entire Hollywood establishment:

"In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that

1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument.

2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination.

3.) Nine inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children."

There have been many refutations of Al Gore's claims (probably never on GE or NBC properties as they have interests), but I haven't seen anything like the British Court case by a concerned parent in the US, even though the same DVD is being used to brainwash and terrify schoolchildren here. Nor was this a major story to the US media.

On the contrary. Gore pal GE owned MSNBC even tried to hide the story with their version 10/2/07, headlined:

MSNBC: "U.K. judge: Gore film biased but OK in schools

Climate documentary may be shown as long as teachers don't endorse it"

Then it shows a endearing picture of Gore from his movie. The headline missed the key point-that it had errors-and that children must be informed of them.

From the UK Times:

Error one

Al Gore: A sea-level rise of up to 20 feet would be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland “in the near future”.

The judge’s finding: “This is distinctly alarmist and part of Mr Gore’s ”wake-up call“. It was common ground that if Greenland melted it would release this amount of water - “but only after, and over, millennia.”ADDENDUM from the Hammond Report: "The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting, the "evidence was that it is in fact increasing."

Error two

Gore: Low-lying inhabited Pacific atolls are already “being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming.”

Judge: There was no evidence of any evacuation having yet happened.

Error three

Gore: The documentary described global warming potentially “shutting down the Ocean Conveyor” - the process by which the Gulf Stream is carried over the North Atlantic to western Europe.

Judge: According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it was “very unlikely” it would be shut down, though it might slow down. ADDENDUM from the Hammond Report: "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."

Error four

Gore: He asserted - by ridiculing the opposite view - that two graphs, one plotting a rise in C02 and the other the rise in temperature over a period of 650,000 years, showed “an exact fit”.

Judge: Although there was general scientific agreement that there was a connection, “the two graphs do not establish what Mr Gore asserts”.

Error five

Gore: The disappearance of snow on Mt Kilimanjaro was expressly attributable to global warming.

Judge: This “specifically impressed” David Miliband, the Environment Secretary, but the

scientific consensus was that it cannot be established that the recession of snows on

Mt Kilimanjaro is mainly attributable to human-induced climate change.

Error six

Gore: The drying up of Lake Chad was used in the film as a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming, said the judge.

Judge: “It is generally accepted that the evidence remains insufficient to establish such an attribution. It is apparently considered to be far more likely to result from other factors, such as population increase and over-grazing, and regional climate variability.”

Error seven

Gore: Hurricane Katrina and the consequent devastation in New Orleans to global warming.

Judge: There is “insufficient evidence to show that”. (Can't isolate a single event to a global phenomenon).

Error eight

Gore: Referred to a new scientific study showing that, for the first time, polar bears were being found that had actually drowned “swimming long distances - up to 60 miles - to find the ice”.

Judge: “The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm." That was not to say there might not in future be drowning-related deaths of bears if the trend of regression of pack ice continued - “but it plainly does not support Mr Gore’s description”. ADDENDUM from the Hammond Report: "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."

Error nine

Gore: Coral reefs all over the world were bleaching because of global warming and other factors.

Judge: The IPCC had reported that, if temperatures were to rise by 1-3 degrees centigrade, there would be increased coral bleaching and mortality, unless the coral could adapt. But separating the impacts of stresses due to climate change from other stresses, such as over-fishing, and pollution was difficult."
