Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,'' have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging where science has rebutted his claims.
For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."

>> Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains,
And how many of the alarmists are upset with that information???
References for later
As more and more people come out and question the Eco-nazis, the more shrill and strident they become. Their house of cards is about to come tumbling down.
Gore: “They’ve blinded me with science”!
Yes, indeed. Would you believe that some number of the envirodingbats here in STL (’The Riverfront Slimes’, et al.) are **still** yapping about acid rain, ‘’because’’ AmerenUE gets the bulk of its capacity fr/coal-fired plants?
Dukakis.eh? Well, there you have it. Dudukaka has been a joke in politics for 20 years. Sheesh.
We won WWIII: Communism and Socialism has been defeated in the USSR.
We are still fighting WWIV against Islamofascism.
While we are trying to do that, Communists and left wing socialists are trying to resurrect WWIII and force us to fight disjointed commie ideology in the form of special interest groups that belong to the Democratic party....eco whackos, PETA whackos, hippie peaceniks. Meanwhile, the libs have hypnotized the proles into watching American Idol.
Many Americans are most thankful that Al Gore is not President. I know that years from now, when this boob’s hoax is better exposed, he will still have adoring and supportive people. Attempting to convince people that man can control global climate change is akin to convincing people that man can control continental drift. I guess every nation must suffer its idiots.

This is why the scaremongers have switched the terminology to “Climate Change”. Under this terminology, no matter what happens, they can claim to be right. It is the ultimate in a non-theory.
Ahhh... the voice of sanity. Well put. I congratulate you!
Things like this drive me nuts...
--"Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame."
--Gore claims the Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming. Yet the Jan. 14, 2002, issue of Nature magazine reported Antarctica as a whole has been dramatically cooling for decades.
--the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain."
As demonstrated by the Kilimanjaro example,* there is so much oversimplification made when discussing these "ice-retreat" or "ice-thinning" reports. Sometimes, warming leads to higher snowfall, which can lead to glacial advance. Sometimes, there's a transition between dry-base and wet-base glacial conditions, which can lead to changes in thickness/extent. There are many factors that can't be taken in isolation!

*"Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."
ROTFLOL! Here I have been slamming the whole "Global Warming" bit for nearly two decades, pointing out that "Climate Change" is the proper scientific discussion and "Global Warming" is the eco-buzzword they tried to push...and now you're saying the scaremongers have reversed themselves?!?
Does this mean Gore will have to give back his Academy Award?

BUMP!
Florida 2000 : 501 for Bush vs 500 for gore, the american guardian angels were hard at work then, hope they still are. With gore as the dem candidate in ‘08, once again we’ll have a republican president. And yet a LOT will happen between now and next november.
He had a race and name change and now he's gender neutral. (Actually, he's race neutral, too, like Obama.) Not only that but, his neurotic wife took a "leave of absence" about two weeks after he was elected. Same guy, though.
At most, sea level would rise about a meter: over a 1000 year period.
Irrelevent compared to the natural up & down movement of the LAND that is being measured: for example, areas near Houston dropped 4 feet when water was pumped out.
LA is subsiding into the Gulf, but north areas are still “rebounding” (rising several feet) because the galcier melted 12,000 years ago.

Based on the state of the Cryosphere report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (a joint effort of NASA, NOAA and the National Science Foundation)its closer to a foot per hundred years rights now. 2.5 mm per year x 100 = 9.84 inches.
The concern is the rate of increase since 1980 and how that will project and if will continue.
Rational people don’t want to confuse this with Gore’s apocalyptic visions but at the current rate of increase it could have a coastal effect in low lying areas. A few feet over the next hundred years is looking quite possible based on the government data.
How we move shift the discussion from “apocalypse imminent” to we need to watch this and study it ...well that may be hard.
