"You can find a few "scientists" to support any theory!"

That is because most science is junk science. Many in society want to fool everyone into thinking science is very accurate, when just the opposite is true. Most science is junk.

I wonder if the majority of Algore's stock portfolio is still invested in oil.

Yea they self selected the Gorites by making the reponding subset only those who actually paidgood money and went to the limited release propaganda movie!!

What a crock!!

Must have done the poll from the AP's new office (was it?) in North Korea or was it Mogandishu?

In a file photo former Vice President Al Gore makes talks to the media as he walks into a screening of the documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' in Boston Tuesday, April 25, 2006. The nation's top climate scientists give the movie based on Al Gore's book, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' five stars for accuracy. He mostly got the science right, say 19 climate experts who had seen the moive or read the book. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Corell said. "After the presentation I said, `Al, I'm absolutely blown away ..."

... to which Al replied, "Corell, blow this!"

17,000 scientists dispute Gore's assertion that global warming is human-inducted. They also mention that global warming is just one of many cycles the earth goes through.

"Most scientists had not seen the movie, which is in limited release.."

Iow, Most scientists had not seen the movie, but it's not the movie's fault. Bias so unsophisticated. Like Jerry Springer "guests". Same level. Journalist trash.

And since there are more than 20,000 scientists who have reviewed the issue, how did they decide on these?

The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.

Excellent," said William Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University. "He got all the important material and got it right."

I looked him up. He is NOT a climate scientist. He's a bio chemist!

William H. Schlesinger
James B. Duke Professor of Biogeochemistry
and Dean of the Nicholas School
Earth and Ocean Sciences Division
AB, Dartmouth College, 1972
PhD, Cornell University, 1976
Primary area of expertise: Biogeochemistry

Robert Corell, chairman of the worldwide Arctic Climate Impact Assessment group of scientists, read the book and saw Gore give the slideshow presentation that is woven throughout the documentary.

Corell is not even a scientist. He has a PhD in Engineering from Case Institute and then worked in ocean engineering before becoming a government bureaucrat and now the head of a "non-profit" (LOL) lobbying group.

Tom Wigley, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, thought the former vice president sugarcoated the problem by saying that with already-available technologies and changes in habit — such as changing light bulbs — the world could help slow or stop global warming.

Wigley PhD in mathematics, albeit he has also worked as a meteorologist (which is not climate science, but weather forecasting).

There are a number of Climate Scientists who have seen the movie and reviewed it and they all said it's junk. But AP couldn't seem to find any of them. They only found 3 non- climate scientists to interview, then falsely identify them as climate scientists.

So typical of the Associated Propagandists.

100 top climate researchers

I thought they said "scientists". Climatology is the short bus of science.

Our local weather man does not like Gore and just thought his first book was total bunk. However, he said that a good portion of this movie is based on fact. I was really surprised.

You can have your facts correct and still come to wrong conclusions.

That may well be the case here.

www.oism.org website has a list of 17000+ scientists who are in disagreement with Gore. Over 2600 are directly involved in climate and closely related fields. Projection is not prediction.
