Al Gore blows more hot air

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 15, 2009 01:24 PM

Jason at Shock and Blog points out Al Gore’s latest gaseous emission:

Michelle,

Heather Ewart, a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Company, recently interviewed Al Gore.

At one point, she asked Gore about a High Court case in England two years ago about his film “An Inconvenient Truth” being shown to public school students. In that case, the judge ruled that Gore’s film contained nine significant scientific errors, that it “promotes partisan political views,” and that it could not be shown in public schools in England without the teachers providing additional materials to counter the film’s bias. Here is the exchange from the interview:

HEATHER EWART: There was also, though, a British judge who ruled that there were in fact, I think, nine errors when it was challenged in court?

AL GORE: Well, the ruling was in my favour. There have been a number of deniers trying to say that this isn’t real. Of course there are always going to be that, but the overwhelming majority of the scientists who’ve looked at this have said, “We’ve got to confront this.”

He didn’t answer the question posed! He also lied about the outcome of the case in his side-stepping answer. The judge, in fact, came out after the ruling and clearly stated that the claimant/plaintiff (a father of a student) had won the case:

“I conclude that the claimant substantially won this case by virtue of my finding that, but for the new guidance note, the film would have been distributed in breach of sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act.”

That statement can be found here.

And the court decision can be found here.

There’s no carbon offset big enough to compensate for Al Gore’s mouth.

    Socialists/statists/collectivists/opposite-worldview holders/power-grabbers – from Goebbels, Hitler, and the rest of the Nazis; up to the Holocaust-deniers and their kindred spirits, the lunatic, dangerous muslim jihadis – have repeatedly, relentlessly employed the tactic of repeated, often brazen and unabashed lying.

    Did anyone else see O’Reilly tell Beck last night that Global Warming is real? What an idiot. He told Beck that 7 of the last 11 years have been the warmest on record.

    When Beck responded to the contrary, he said “we’ll look into that for a later show” or some such BS. Since the issue was that even though global warming is real, the crap and tax bill is just a ripoff of the American people.

    I gotta quit watching O’Reilly, he’s moved to far left in his attempt to be Fair and Balanced.

    With statements like that, I wonder how he could be taken seriously, regardless of the matter of Global Warming.

    The ruling was decidedly NOT in his favor. He of course lied through his teeth. That alone means he probably is lying about almost any aspect of this.

    When we consider the incredible amount of money he stands to make, you know, I’d probably lie through my teeth, too.

    Michelle, based on the evidence presented in your blog topic, especially the content of Jason’s information, if that information is 100% accurate and correct then Al “I’ve Got Carbon Credits to neutralize my Carbon footprint” Gore is either 1) Flat out lying to the interviewer, or 2) Mentally challenged, or 3) Deranged – associated with being mentally challenged, or 4) An extremely misguided narcissist, or 5) All of the above.

    Of course he could have been working on his stand up comedy routine, or a comedy skit.

    To top it off you have sooo many Al Gore Sycophants in government positions like NOAA who now even BLATANTLY change the Temperature Record Itself to show a warming trend when none existed in the Original Raw Data.

    Here is a plot of the ‘adjustment’ they made to the USHCN data set.

    It takes an Australian to tell us that our own US government agencies are lying to us.

    The corrected data from NOAA has been used as evidence of anthropogenic global warming yet it would appear that the rising trend over the 20th century is largely if not entirely an artefact arising from the “corrections” applied to the experimental data, at least in the US, and is not visible in the uncorrected experimental data record.

    A new study on CO2 and warming has just come out admitting that the climate models are wrong. This study will be used by the warm-mongers to claim that CO2 has even a greater warming effect than they thought. But, even that would contradict their claim that the debate is over. This settled science is becoming more unsettled every day. Here is a quote from the article, which is titled Global Warming: Scientists’ Best Predictions May Be Wrong:

    “In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record,” said oceanographer Gerald Dickens, a co-author of the study and professor of Earth science at Rice University. “There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.”

    As you keep saying, Al Gore is not a climate scientist. But he does believe them. They say global warming is real, with very very few dissenters — very few climate scientist with major research credentials dissenters. Just one, actually.

    When you listen to one side, then cover your ears and yell “LA, LA, LA…” while a dissenting side is given, that is not thoroughly researching the issue, now is it? Ignoring an opposing view point doesn’t make it invalid.

    cabrerski: I don’t ignore your arguments. You say GW is controversial because lots of people don’t buy it. You say lots of GW theories have been debunked. You (or many on this site) even believe scientists are conspiring to put over a false theory in order to enrich themselves, destroy America, or for some other evil purpose. I’ve read all that.

    Now: none (actually one) of the naysayers is actually a qualified scientist. The rest lack the training or the experience to have an expert opinion.

    But your opinion counts above others, right? Don’t doubt your passion but do question your objectivity.

    I spend a lot of time in labs and watch “qualified” scientists jump to conclusions day and night. Again, if you know who is paying…Not that they are going to get rich, just find a way to make a decent living.

    Biases are the biggest problem in scientific research as we all have them and often find it difficult to recognize when we are applying them. Check out the research on cold fusion after it was announced it had been achieved in 1989. Created quite a stir. They still haven’t been able to reproduce it despite the numerous research hours by qualified (and I do mean qualified) scientists.

    If you are not familiar with the way grants are awarded to research institutes, may I recommend that you check it out. Very eye-opening process. Case-in-point: Harvard’s 20yr research project into coffee as a cancer-causing agent. The ink wasn’t even dry on the grant application before millions were heading to Harvard. It is just the way these things are done. BTW, coffee does appear to cause cancer (so have another cup).

    Off on a tangent, Galileo (a great scientist)”proved” his work by writing a three-person narrative. In Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Sea. One was the Academian (Salviati) who had the logical answers (the voice of Galileo), another (Simplicio) had the counter-arguments (set up as the straw man), and the “impartial” judge (Sagredo) who ended up the wise guy’s groupie. This was reasoning, well composed even, but not scientific proof. Galileo was a great observer and scientist but, alas, wasn’t always right even when he was more “qualified” than many of his peers.

    Many people (even trained professionals) cannot avoid their prejudices. Not blaming them of wrong-doing, just limiting their research and conclusion-jumping. Part of being human, y’know.

    Like you just did.

    Really? You have reviewed the creds of 32,000 scientists, weighed them in the balance, and found them wanting?

    BS, lgm.

    These SCIENTISTS blow holes in the hull of the warmonger’s models. Again. Some more.

    MODELS. Not demonstrated MECHANISMS.

    MODELS that have to queer the historical record in order to FIT the historical data. (That is, they can’t correctly “predict” the past, so they just change the past).

    “In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record,” says oceanographer Gerald Dickens, study co-author and professor of Earth Science at Rice University in Houston. “There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models…..

    The conclusion, Dickens said, is that something other than carbon dioxide caused much of this ancient warming. “Some feedback loop or other processes that aren’t accounted for in these models — the same ones used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for current best estimates of 21st century warming — caused a substantial portion of the warming that occurred during the PETM.”

    most of the “scientists” i have heard from saying gw is occuring are politicians such as big al, and the u.n. who get their money directly from grants for studying gw and carbon offsets to somehow not fix the problem, but make someone pay something for doing something which may or may not cause the problem.

    Gore is deluded. He is so heavily invested, mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially in this invention that he can never turn back. He will make millions just promoting it so promote he will. The dustbin of history will judge him.

    In fact, I think he can only be saved if we do something. Then, since global warming does not exist anyway, he can point to his policies as having stopped it and saved us. If we do nothing and warming dissapates, he will go down as a fools fool.

    In other words, he doesn’t need global warming to be real. He needs a solution implemented to save his big foolish backside. He is all in.

    AL GORE: Well, the ruling was in my favour.

    Typical Democrat talking points. Both demonstrably untrue but they spew it out like good little lemmings hoping that others will believe it since they do were told to by their masters. Say it enough and it becomes true. Click your heels Toto. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

    Does “Gorebull Warming”, mean colder winters? The northern states, the Pacific Northwest, and Alaska have had colder winters the last few years, and last year Anchorage had the second coldest summer on record. Seattle had an unusally cold winter last year. The year I was born (1955), it was 100 degrees on June 12th. I am sick of all of the idiots crying about global warming. It’s a big load of CRAP!

    Ah, but you’re missing the point. Somewhere there is a thinning ice sheet and a baby seal with a sun tan, so all your observations about average temps going down must be irrelavent.

    I came across what I think is an elequent analogy by physicist Ron House explaining to the average person:

    1. What the alarmist/IPPC ‘hot spot’ model prediction is all about and,

    2. Why their failure at hot spot prediction in itself is FAR more damning to them fundamentally in terms of invalidating their claim of AGW more so than say, recent global temperature cooling trends in general or declining ocean heat or increasing ice extent, etc., (ie = huge WAD of empirical evidence running counter to the alarmist fraud)

    As he says,

    The indisputable fact about these atmospheric temperature predictions is that if the pattern doesn’t happen, the model is wrong.

    And “The Model” is of course … ALL THEY GOT!
