Glad to see you posted a nicer looking site. Thanks for the backup
I know it's thin ice, but I'm tired of the 'omg global warming' fanboys talking about something they probably haven't even done research on in the first place. Not saying anyone hear has gone 'fanboy' on me, but still. Everyone needs to check the facts, especially Al Gore and his pity possy. What really cracks me up is that the same day he won this little Nobel peace prize, the high court in England ruled that his 'findings' are not to be taught in schools because they contain ELEVEN HUGE INACCURACIES. Talk about owned. Thank God England had enough sense to stop his propaganda. I only wish America, who loves conspiracies and witch hunts, would follow suit. In case your curious, the inaccuracies are:
* The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
* The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
* The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global warming.
* The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that this was not the case.
* The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. 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.
* 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.
* The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
* The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
* The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
Is anyone else tired of his little Armageddon cries? I sure am. I say sit down and stfu Al.
I know Al Gore isn't the spokesman for the global warming is true side, so I'm not just saying global warming isn't true because I loath Al Gore. There is so much evidence that our planet is just fine even after taking that bimbo out of the picture.
