GORE'S NINE LIES

Al’s Inconvenient Truth has its day in a British court:

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".

Here’s something for the Truthers to chew over: by other estimations, the same court found eleven material inaccuracies. Nine ... and eleven ... 9/11! Think about it.

  1. Wait for the backlash, all the doubters who never had the courage to criticise the film initially, will start to become a little more vocal if the discussion that was on the British Sky News this morning is any guide.

    Well, it’s about bloody time. Something’s got to get people who doubt to stop toeing the line.
    Although it’s still going to be hard to go against “the science” and “concensus”.

  7. Don’t expect any changes from the Army of Flummerys and the Church of The Goracle.

    The standard line already is:
    Whatever tiny mistakes we might make along the Way to Purity, we owe it to our children to scare the pants off them anyway, with the True Message of Napoleon, our Leader.

    “All those who oppose our Cause are Heretics! Disbelieve them, Children! Cast them out!  Close Thy ears!”
    The chant arose from the assembled throng:
    “Four Degrees Good, two Degrees Bad!” etc, etc.

  8. They had a discussion about this on Newsnight, one of the main vaguely highbrow news shows in the UK. Even the spokesman from Friends of the Earth thought that some of Al Gore’s claims ‘raised eyebrows’ as he put it.

  12. Thankfully, because of the legal precedent set here, there is now f**k all chance that the pile of shit known as Loose Change will ever be shown in schools.
    Mind you Loose Change is just the Troofer’s answer to An Incontinent Truth.

  13. "The Government’s expert was forced to concede...”
    “The Government’s expert had to accept ...”
    “The Government’s expert had to accept...”
    “The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.”
    “The Government are unable to substantiate...”
    At least ‘Flummery’ puts his name to his prognostications.
    The shiny-arsed, cardigan brigade in their taxpayer funded air-conditioned offices, most of whom have never had an original thought or put their aforementioned shiny arses on the line in their entire lives, ought to be made accountable.
    The same applies in this country.

  14. How will it feel should you win, AL?

    You a white man and your fellow leftists be they white, black, brown, yellow or red condeming once again, this time with “nine factual errors” and “eleven material inaccuracies”, Moreover, a movie whose upshot is that the poor in Calcutta and West Africa should be denied access to the energy that can lift them out of poverty?

    Is it any wonder that these people turn to the vile Islamists?

    You don’t give a damn AL...you’ve got your prize, money, a run for the presidency of the United States, all the while behind that smile on the overstuffed face of yours, you are thinking...you people have done without for centuries...fuck you.

  23. Interesting though, the 9 whoppers weren’t minor ones at all and were some of the key points used to defend the film.

    #3 Kae, call me cynical, but while Im glad that there will be more questions raised about the overall issue of climate change, I’m still disappointed that people were silent when we really needed them to speak up. Why does it take a court case for people to ‘suddenly find their tongues’?

  29. “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”.

    If the Gorecle wind the Peace prize, those polar bears will not have died in vain.

  32. Al Gore is the modern version of the old tent revival preacher.  Only instead of confessing sins of morality, the sobbing masses are supposed to confess sins of energy waste.  All the while algore, like his predacessors, chuckles all the way to the bank.

  35. Al Gore defined…

    Snake oil salesman

    A travelling “doctor” with dubious credentials, selling some medicine (such as snake oil) with boisterous marketing hype, often supported by pseudo-scientific evidence, typically bogus. To enhance sales, an accomplice in the crowd (a “shill") would often “attest” the value of the product in an effort to provoke buying enthusiasm. The “doctor” would prudently leave town before his customers realized that they had been cheated.

  53. If anyone wants some light reading, go to the link at #40, click on Noteup and you will get about 3,000 cases on s.52.

    In the search line type in “documentary film” and away you go !

    Given the penchant of members of this site for in depth computer research, a case with some direct relevance should be found if it exists.

    Another thought is construing the film as advertising for his carbon credit wares.

    To the Goreacolytles who attended the workshop and have been “Accredited”, don’t worry we’re just a bunch of ignorant bilious gobshites here, who just talk, don’t do nuffin and think The Castle was a training fillum.

    “Ever dwindling band of sceptics”.
    “Climate change is a dangerous problem.”
    “All the world’s major scientific institutions believe the man-made climate change theory.”
    “Watching climate sceptics - some well-meaning scientists, but many in the pay of the oil industry - discredit the global warming theory.”

  62. El Cid, Pickles, et al
    Two legal avenues seem promising: scrutinising fund raising for breaches of corporations law (eg, raising cash by false & deceptive conduct, misrepresentation, fraud, whatever.); and the class action by groups suffering damage, eg increased insurance premiums attributable to systematic public lying on the part of the usual suspects.  The latter is a long shot, but I for one am starting to get pissed off and I sense I’m not alone.
