Gore Used Fictional Video to Illustrate ‘Inconvenient Truth’

It goes without saying that climate realists around the world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false information throughout his schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" in order to generate global warming hysteria.

On Friday, it was revealed by ABC News that one of the famous shots of supposed Antarctic ice shelves in the film was actually a computer-generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow."

Heh, heh, heh....I believe he may have broken a law....

[Eurale]

“Crickets” from the DBM. He’s always been a liar and psychopath.

[SoldierDad]

Well, now there’s a shocker!!!!! Al Bore using a computer generated scene in his fabricated film.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Perhaps if the Goracle hadn’t invented the Internet, nobody would have found this out.

Foiled by your own invention!

I saw that on TV. Very interesting. It seems that the producers of the movie had no idea at first. Sounds like copyright infringement to me.

One doesn't even have to look past the movie poster to see the deceptions being created. It shows smokestacks billowing out "pollution" into the form of a hurricane. Of course, CO2 is colorless, but whatever....BBAAAAHHHHHH.

How this man can get away with this farce and a forgery for so long is beyond my comprehension........

That's inconvenient for Mr Al “ lying all the why to Oslo” Gore.

One more reason I believe in God is because this jacka$$ was not elected President.

[GoldMan]

CITIZENS ARREST!
CITIZENS ARREST!

[weegee]

So will The Grammy Company take back their industry award from Milli Vanilli, Er I mean the Nobel Company take back their liberal award from Al Gore?

[Miss Didi]

Rush talking about this now...

[weegee]

I thought that was a time vortex and that this was another fictional tale about Ash...

[phillyfanatic]

Though Rush pointed this out, the MSM will not and public schools will still teach these lies of The Inconveniet Truth. This Green Day is a socialist fraud but Americans will not buy this so we must plug on with exposures and evidence that will whittle away this socialist ploy and plot.

[Sacajaweau]

I just love it when there's "proof" of deception.

"I did not lift that image from....."

Out, out...damn spot...

[weegee]

As Rush should, he was denied the Nobel prize he was nominated for and Al Gore got one...

[trumandogz]

Michael Moore, Al Gore and Ben Stein, each producing fiction and calling it a documentary.

[Slings and Arrows]

An inconvenient truth?

[weegee]

The question remains, is this cleared footage or was it stolen? What does the studio say and what is the MPAA’s position?

How about the Academy?

Lots of people with fecal matter splattering on them from Gore’s stunt.

[wbill]

I got a "Happy Earth Day" EMail at work this morning, reminding me to "Do Something Good for the Environment."

Now....if I spammed the entire company with a "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah" Email....I'd likely be looking for a new job the next day. I guess some religions are better than others.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree with you "absolutely". Think of the role of the Supreme Court....from that decision on...

We're on the right track....

[weegee]

You can put a chip on your shoulder about it when Stein’s film is forced on public school children. Oh wait, that’ll never be the case.

[weegee]

Gaia loves me this I know
because Google tells me so.

[GovernmentShrinker]

I really hope some of the parents whose children have been subjected to this propaganda flick in public schools can use this to sue the school districts. In addition to prohibiting it from being shown in schools in the future, they should seek a ruling that all the children now have to be told that the film used fake video footage to try to convince them that its alarmist message was true.

[NonValueAdded]

“Fake but accurate” bump

[trumandogz]

Neither Gore’s Moore’s or Steins fictional “documentaries” should be forced on anyone, especially our school children.

[IM2MAD]

I hope someone with more skills than I have can post a side by side comparison. That would be a real “Gotcha”.

[stylin19a]

ah...........BOOMSTICK !

[wbill]

I've been "boycotting" Google since they went dark for "Earth Hour".

Actually, it's not so much of a boycott, as the darkened screen was so lousy to read. I switched over to Yahoo instead, and haven't bothered to switch back. Yahoo does everything that I want.

I'm sure that they're missing the few dozen or so hits that I generated each week. I'm expecting a call from their CEO begging for my business back. /sarc

[dynachrome]

Manbearpig caught faking in his “documentary”

[Enchante]

So the Albore “documentary” (i.e., schlockumentary) relied upon FAKED images to depict a purportedly actual event that is totally mis-represented in the film.

That’s called fraud Mr. Gore.

“fake and inaccurate” is the new MSM motto.

[Hyzenthlay]

LOL! I had to watch that movie for a part of a class about the apocalypse, but we also watched a zombie movie and something else with spaceships for the same part of that class, so I don’t think realism was the point, just peoples’ different ideas about the way humanity or the world will come to an end.

[tobyhill]

Everything about global warming is computer generated because there’s no conclusive proof it’s real and what circumstantial evidence they have still can’t be tied to human behavior in any way, shape or form.

[oldenuff2no]

Gore makes 6K per minute to speak about this non-science BS.

[IM2MAD]

Better yet, that would have been a real “inconvenient truth”.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The media won’t shame Gore. He’s one of them.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DOOMAGE!

Hail to the king, baby!

Wish everybody a happy Ramadhan. That should be acceptable.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

"Michael Moore, Al Gore and Ben Stein, each producing fiction and calling it a documentary."

Ben Stein? Are you referring to his movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed?" If you are, I am befuddled. That movie challenges the idea that Darwinism is absolute and God had nothing to do with creation. Unless you are atheist, I am not sure how Ben Stein falls into your list...

[Paradox]

Unless you are atheist, I am not sure how Ben Stein falls into your list...

The "documentary" has used tactics similar to Michael Moore's, including having staged events and questioning under false pretense.

Its a shame no one wants to simply stick to the facts. What is considered acceptable simply depends on what "side" you are on I guess...

[trumandogz]

You do realize that you can be a Christian and still understand that that evolution exists.

However, in Ben Stein's “Expelled” he lies about Richard Steinberg being fired from the Smithsonian and uses and during a speech in the film uses an audience of actors and invited plants while claiming that the audience is made up of students at the college.

So yes, Ben Stein's Expelled is a work of fiction, just like Al Gore's film as well as Michael Moore's.

[wxgesr]

The movie poster shows a “clockwise” rotation of the steam. Hurricanes are low pressure centers and have a “counter-clockwise” rotation in the Northern Hemisphere. That is all I needed to see to infer the substance of the movie.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

" You do realize that you can be a Christian and still understand that that evolution exists."

Yes, I understand that quite well. I believe the point Ben Stein was trying to make was not that evolution is false, just that it is not independent of the theory of Creation.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

"The "documentary" has used tactics similar to Michael Moore's, including having staged events and questioning under false pretense."

I am assuming you have seen the movie then, correct?

[w1andsodidwe]

Remember old Dan Rather's fake but accurate.

“It goes without saying that climate realists around the world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false information throughout his schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth” in order to generate global warming hysteria.”

It’s a crazy world.

TRUTHERS = Those who deal in lies.

REALISTS = Those who deal in facts.
