An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
The basis of Gore’s position on global warming is that the oceans will rise by up to 20 feet. First off, this figure is wildly inaccurate. Even the UN IPCC report states that oceans might rise by up to 17 inches (i.e. 1.6 feet or so), not the outlandish 20 feet Gore indicates. If Gore is so wildly off on this one important figure, why should I trust him to present this issue ? Gore’s book includes for instance images of a peninsula failing off into the ocean. Without the context that this represents the 3 % of Antarctica tha has never been stable, and that the other 93 % of the continent is frozen ice which actually is quickly gaining in mass, Gore is only manipulating the data, and subtly manipulating us. If you want a true film of global warming, read Bjorn Lomborg’s “Cool It”. It presents the true model of our world, without the childish hysterics and manipulations.
