The movie of al gore?

Question

anyone seen the movie about global warming of al gore. i really found it interesting and really impressed me although here in europe we are constantly informed. but i think that gore's lectures are impressive .do you think like me ?

Answer 1

I've seen the movie. I was impressed also. I then started to check the "facts" from the movie. There are some troubling statements the movie made.

Bottom line to the movie, it's puesdoscience at best or just propaganda at worst. It uses scare tactics to make points.

Other than the fact Al Gore is a life time politician, you have to wonder what's really in it for him. There has to be money there, somewhere, for him to be involved as he is. Please, forget the "He's helping mankind" c**p the liberals will spout. This is a lifetime politician who has never held an honest job but been fed constantly at the public trough.

You need to do some investigation of your own. Read real science articles and try to keep personalities out of the thought process. You will come to your own conclusions that agree or disagree with the basis of the movie.

Answer 2

I haven't seen the movie and don't intend to. Al Gore is a fat head with an agenda. He doesn't practice what he preaches and stands to make a fortune on this global warming hysteria. Practically every aspect of his film has been disputed as either bald faced lies or junk science. But why would anyone believe a man who insists he invented the internet? Al Gore has issues. He needs to take a pill and lay down.

Answer 3

I SO agree with you. If no one came and really talked to us about global warming, it'd be ignored. And it's not like he's doing nothing, he once made global warming in issue in politics. (think so.)

Answer 4

It's got a lot of incorrect data in it. For example the temperature graph they call the hockey stick makes it look like the earth is warmer now than ever. That chart has been "doctored". The real data shows that it was warmer in the Mideval period than it is now. An Inconvienent Truth is politically motivated propaganda.

Answer 5

Much of what Gore said in the movie has been debunked. If you get CNN Headline News, I encourage you to watch the Glenn Beck special at 6:00 and 8:00 and 11:00 PM Central Time Zone. He presents the counterpoints to Global Warming. It promises perspectives you just don't hear in the media these days. I understand that it addresses many of the fallacies presented in the Gore movie.

Answer 6

I found the DaVinci Code interesting and it got a lot of people fired up, but it wasn't based in fact either.  Al Gore may well be the next Oliver Stone - take a heated subject and twist the truth until it appears factual.

Answer 7

Al Gore is misleading the public in many ways.  This is what experts say on his conclusions.

I can assure Mr. Gore that no one from the South Pacific islands has fled to New Zealand because of rising seas. In fact, if Gore consults the data, he will see it shows sea level falling in some parts of the Pacific." -- Dr. Chris de Freitas, climate scientist, associate professor, University of Auckland, N.Z.

"We find no alarming sea level rise going on, in the Maldives, Tovalu, Venice, the Persian Gulf and even satellite altimetry, if applied properly." -- Dr. Nils-Axel Morner, emeritus professor of paleogeophysics and geodynamics, Stockholm University, Sweden.

"Gore is completely wrong here -- malaria has been documented at an altitude of 2,500 metres -- Nairobi and Harare are at altitudes of about 1,500 metres. The new altitudes of malaria are lower than those recorded 100 years ago. None of the "30 so-called new diseases" Gore references are attributable to global warming, none." -- Dr. Paul Reiter, professor, Institut Pasteur, unit of insects and infectious diseases, Paris, comments on Gore's belief that Nairobi and Harare were founded just above the mosquito line to avoid malaria and how the mosquitoes are now moving to higher altitudes.

Our information is that seven of 13 populations of polar bears in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (more than half the world's estimated total) are either stable or increasing..... Of the three that appear to be declining, only one has been shown to be affected by climate change. No one can say with certainty that climate change has not affected these other populations, but it is also true that we have no information to suggest that it has." -- Dr. Mitchell Taylor, manager, wildlife research section, Department of Environment, Igloolik, Nunavut.

"Mr. Gore suggests that the Greenland melt area increased considerably between 1992 and 2005. But 1992 was exceptionally cold in Greenland and the melt area of ice sheet was exceptionally low due to the cooling caused by volcanic dust emitted from Mt. Pinatubo. If, instead of 1992, Gore had chosen for comparison the year 1991, one in which the melt area was 1% higher than in 2005, he would have to conclude that the ice sheet melt area is shrinking and that perhaps a new Ice Age is just around the corner." -- Dr. Petr Chylek, adjunct professor, Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax.

The oceans are now heading into one of their periodic phases of cooling.... Modest changes in temperature are not about to wipe them [coral] out. Neither will increased carbon dioxide, which is a fundamental chemical building block that allows coral reefs to exist at all." -- Dr. Gary D. Sharp, Center for Climate/Ocean Resources Study, Salinas, Calif.

"Both the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps are thickening. The temperature at the South Pole has declined by more than one degree C since 1950. And the area of sea ice around the continent has increased over the last 20 years." -- Dr. R.M. Carter, professor, Marine Geophysical Laboratory, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia.

"From data published by the Canadian Ice Service, there has been no precipitous drop-off in the amount or thickness of the ice cap since 1970 when reliable overall coverage became available for the Canadian Arctic." -- Dr./Cdr. M.R. Morgan, FRMS, formerly advisor to the World Meteorological Organization/climatology research scientist at University of Exeter, U.K.

Answer 8

If Al Gore didn't do it, nobody would have.  His high profile image got him everything he needed to succeed in the film.  And now the movement to help mother earth has begun.
