Judge Rules Against Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"

And Al Gore is being considered for a Nobel Prize and people want him to run for President again? The global warming nonsense just keeps getting more, and more ridiculous. Maybe this is what it will take to reveal the hoax of global warming........legal action......

Judge Rules Against Al Gore's Global Warming

by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
A High Court judge just ruled that former US vice president Al Gore's moving, 'An Inconvenient Truth', promoting what many scientists call "science fiction", has now been court ordered to provide a listed document explaining nine scientific errors in Al Gore's film when distributing this "politically biased" film to schools. The Government had pledged to send thousands of copies of the film to schools across the country, but a Kent father challenged that policy saying it would "brainwash" children.

A judge was asked to adjudicate between Stewart Dimmock and the Department of Children, Schools and Families. Mr Justice Burton ruled that the film could be sent to schools, but only if it was accompanied by new guidelines to balance the former US vice-president's "one-sided" views. The judge said some of the errors were made in "the context of alarmism and exaggeration" in order to support Mr Gore's thesis on global warming.

He said that while the film was dramatic and highly professional, it formed part the ex-politician's global crusade on climate change and not all the claims were supported by the current mainstream scientific consensus. He went on to list those errors:-

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."-

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.-

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".-

- 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".-

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.
