The Peace Prize has become about as meaningful as the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.

[because it's not false.....where are your facts?]

British Court Rules Al Gore Film Exaggerated Climate Claims

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Lewis Smith

Al Gore’s award-winning climate change documentary was littered with nine inconvenient untruths, a judge ruled yesterday.

An Inconvenient Truth won plaudits from the environmental lobby and an Oscar from the film industry but was found wanting when it was scrutinised in the High Court in London.

Justice Burton identified nine significant errors within the former presidential candidate’s documentary as he assessed whether it should be shown to school children. He agreed that Gore’s film was “broadly accurate” in its presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change but said that some of the claims were wrong and had arisen in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration.”

Answer 2

Do you mean the prize that came from the man that invented dynamite?

What else would you expect?

Answer 3

Propaganda.  Left wing socialists trying to scare people to assume more control.   Nobel prize means nothing now.  Might as well give him a prize for his diligent search for Manbearpig…

Answer 4

NO ONE KNOWS!!!!!!!! al gore is a deciever.

Answer 5

There are alot of sad pathetic kool aid drinkers. Do some people really take gores propaganda as truth? Great Britains courts have found multitudes of factual errors in this michael moore wanna be global warming pimps film.  If he believed his own bs he wouldn't fly around the world in private jet, he wouldn't bring a caravan of SUVs with him everywhere, and his mansion would not use 20 times the amount of energy that an average home uses.

For you kool aid drinkers there is an easy $120,000 for you to make by scietifically proving that man is causing global warming at junkscience.com.

Mars is warmer but I thought the Mars rover was battery powered so man couldn't be causing that. The Earth has come out of several ice ages with no SUVs involved.

Answer 6

I honestly feel that the Nobel Selection Committee live in a cave. Surely they must have read some of the articles disproving Gores theory, at least enough to create some doubt. Some of Gores propaganda is 180 degrees out. I have read articles by Oceanographers, Climatologists, Natural;ists and scores of other respected professionals and they all state that Gores conclusions are not based on true fact. There was a recent article quoting from 500 professionals from varied fields of study. They all challenged Gores theory. Can they all be wrong and He be right. I don't think so. Have I created some doubt ? Think about it but it won't do any good because Gore is still counting 1.5 million bucks from his inaccurate assesment.

It doesn't hurt to let these dolts know how we feel, even after the fact.

Have a good one. TR

Answer 7

Let's see. A couple of right wing propandists think it is a false documentary, the scientic community and all of the experts believe that it is accurate.

Let's see, it is a scientific question. Should I listen to the scientific experts, or a bunch of ignorant religious nuts. Hmm.

I hope you don't object if I go with the people who know what they are talking about.

Answer 8

I haven't a clue, and the second answer is decreases tremendously.

Answer 9

He didn't get the NPP for the actual documentary.  The award was given to him and others  "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change".  

Al Gore has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians.  Get your facts straight dude.

Answer 10

Do you have a chemical imbalance or is this just an attitude problem?

Answer 11

It's a total embarrassment.

Answer 12

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions...whether it be on Al Gore or the topic of Global Warming.  Never the less, I have seen the documentary and I found the information very interesting.  At the very least, it's a wake up call to us, as human beings, that we need to change our way of life.  Like it or not, I think the documentary spoke to a lot of people and gave them reasons to want to make changes.  Does he deserve recognition for that?  Someone obviously thought so.

Answer 13

He did something called research.  You would know that if you you saw his movie.  Please state you research to support your claims or keep you mouth shut.

Answer 14

First, to the young lady who heard on some news channel that Hitler and Stalin won, it must of been Fox news, because it never happened.

Second, that 'false and divisive' documentary' has pushed the world wide problem that needs immediate work is favored by 60 percent of the Republicans.  Overall, 75 percent of Americans believe that global warming is real and need immediate attention.

Answer 15

Probably in the same manner John Howard was re-elected after making a false and devisive economy.

Answer 16

Because he's the lefty's darling.  It definitely decreases the legitimacy of the NPP.

Answer 17

Because Europeans are appeasers and anti-American that is why they give the Price to left wing kooks and the likes of Yasser Arafat.

Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts?

By Timothy Ball

Monday, February 5, 2007

Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was one of the first Canadian Ph.Ds. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology,

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/glob...

Answer 18

Sometimes I have crazy dreams, and I had thought that I had just dreamed this.  I can't believe it really happened.  And I have no idea how it did happen.  I guess my next project will be to look into the NPP selection procedures.  They have made a couple of what I considered to be blunders before, but this one is absolutely unbelievable.

Yes, this action definitely decreases the legitimacy of the NPP in my opinion, and in those of many I have spoken to about it.  I feel sick, just thinking about it, as many people who have never before given the global warming theory much thought will now automatically buy into it just because of this award.  And the ultimate joke about the whole thing is that AG is just the figurehead for the whole "documentary".  (I guess I have misunderstood the meaning of the word, documentary.  I thought that it referred to the print or media presentation of some FACTUAL information for which the validity had been DOCUMENTED objectively.

I would ask, "Has the world gone mad?" except I already know that it has indeed.

Answer 19

Is the Republican Governor of California (Arnold Schwarzeneger)  a left wing fanaticist? Surely if he believes the science about Global Warming there must be some foundation to it? I havent seen Al Gore's movie but I think its good that he has moved on from his defeat in the 2000 Presidential race and found a place where he can have some influence. As to the NPP - guess its nice to get a gong whereever you get it from.

Answer 20

do you have a source or link for Any Real scientist who have come out and called Gore's movie "false" ?

I don't think so.

Answer 21

i not seen this film,any web sites can go to see it.from wot i hear sounds honest and we should listen.but not seen it so can't comment

Answer 22

O-Zone Al should be put in a home , we will be taxed again to fix something that's not broke and also pay for the world to do the same

Answer 23

maybe becuase the ' false and devisive documentary' is not false.

Answer 24

Name one thing that is false or devisive [sic] in his excellent documentary?

Yeah, thought so.

[Ooh, brand new account, too... what would this be, number 3? 5? 9?]

[EDIT to Amy, way below]  Neither Stalin nor Hitler ever won the Nobel Peace Prize.  Each was nominated - there are some 100 to 200 nominations every year, and they got themselves nominated, but for very obvious reasons, they were never contenders.

Run along now - your brain is calling.

[EDIT regarding Amy]  Hmm.  Funny how you reply to me on e-mail with the F-bomb - and yet you deleted your own answer.

Answer 25

Never met the guy, so i wouldn't know

Answer 26

what is so false about that documentary?

Answer 27

because it's not false.....where are your facts?

obviously, you are biased, and will never believe al gore no matter what......

Answer 28

I'm not surprised one bit... didn't they also give one to Jimmy Carter? Put Carter, Clinton and Gore all in a bucket, mix well and what have you got?  Ask any fertilizer user what manure smells like.

Answer 29

Why do some still want to smear Al Gore even after he was cheated out of his presidency. Let us suppose that some of the documentary was exaggerated like the hole in the sky global warming and all the rest. But you must admit that it is happening now and dire consequences is following in its wake as a result. Just because some ppl can't stand him for the gentleman that he is even when he was cheated and now even wants to cheat him out of a Nobel Prize. What kind of ppl are you anyway. Did I say ppl ?  I am just being polite.

Answer 30

You forgot he help create the internet...

Answer 31

I think you're a little confused--just because Bush denies it doesn't mean Global Warming is a fiction.  The great majority of scientists agree that global warming is one of the greatest threats to Earth, and his documentary helped put that in the spotlight even more than it already was.  Already the polar ice caps are melting, causing some islands in Alaska to lose up to ten feet of shoreline every year--some entire towns no longer exist, and the residents have to try to find new homes.  The polar bears are on the endangered species list because the global warming is melting the areas they live in, and rely on for concealment when they hunt.

Also, the increased number of massive storms in the Atlantic are due to global warming.  Warm air travels faster, and the pattern it travels from is over the Pacific, up over the Arctic, and down the Atlantic.  Because the Pacific winds are faster and warmer, the Arctic winds are now much faster also, causing increased storms once the air reaches the Atlantic.

And the choice of recipients for the Nobel Peace Prize has not always been completely without controversy.  In the 1970's, Yasser Arafat received the prize, even though many countries still considered him to be a terrorist.  Not all of them have been Mother Teresa.  I think the award was a good choice.
