Hey Gang,

It seems that some oil-industry funded British judge found a couple problems with my movie.

Here is the report along with my response to each point: :

Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, represents 'partisan political views' and must be treated as such by teachers in British schools, a British High Court judge has indicated.
The British court was swayed by numerous factual inaccuracies portrayed in the movie. Among them:

• The film claims global warming is responsible for the gradual retreat of the alpine glacier atop Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro. Scientists have conclusively demonstrated no such link exists.

Hmmm…well it looks like I was wrong…but only half wrong. You see it turns out that the melting is from deforestation, which is caused by man. I got the caused-by-man part right, so I’m half right.

• The film presents graphs indicating that fluctuating carbon dioxide levels have always preceded and caused global temperature fluctuations. In fact, temperatures changes have always preceded carbon dioxide changes.

Preceded, proceeded, is there really much of a difference?

• The film suggests global warming caused Hurricane Katrina. Few hurricane experts believe this, and substantial scientific evidence indicates global warming is having no impact on hurricane frequency or intensity.

Hurricane Katrina was punishment for angering mother earth.

• The film asserts global warming is causing Central Africa's Lake Chad to dry up. In fact, land use practices are causing the drying up of Lake Chad, and Central Africa is in an unusual and prolonged wet period.

Again humans are the main cause, so to me the science isn’t that important.

• The film asserts global warming is leading to polar bear deaths by drowning. Yet the only documented drowning deaths occurred due to a freak storm, and polar bear numbers are growing substantially.

Well I think that polar bears are just too cute for facts.

• The film claims global warming threatens to halt the Gulf Stream and initiate a new ice age. The vast majority of scientists who have studied the issue have determined such a scenario is implausible.

Maybe the vast majority of evil scientists that are funded by Exxon in an evil lair somewhere.  

• The film asserts global warming is causing the destruction of coral reefs through bleaching. Scientists have identified other causes for coral bleaching and have additionally noted bleaching is a natural process by which coral continually selects ideal symbiotic algae.

At first I thought that bleaching was caused by man and I was horrified by it. But now that I know that it is just nature killing itself, I guess it is ok. In fact I now like how it looks.

• The film asserts Greenland is in danger of rapid ice melt that will raise sea levels by 20 feet or more. The scientific consensus is that any foreseeable Greenland ice melt will be gradual and will take centuries to substantially raise sea levels.

Centuries, decades…whatever…. I’m still right.
