At a conference for environmental journalists in Wisconsin, Al Gore dodged questions on the many identified errors in his global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
"We're very close to that political tipping point," Gore said. "Never before in human history has a single generation been asked to make such difficult and consequential decisions."
While the audience of environmental journalists were largely in agreement with Mr. Gore's presentation and his positions, one Irish journalist and filmmaker asked Gore about the many scientific errors that were found in Gore's global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth.
"A judge in the British High Court, after a lengthy hearing, found there were 9 significant errors," said Phelim McAleer, director of Not Evil Just Wrong. "This has been shown to children. Do you accept those findings and have you done anything to correct those errors?" Gore did not provide an answer, saying: "The ruling was in favor of showing the movie in schools."
When Mr. McAleer sought to press an answer to his question, McAleer's microphone was cut off and he was escorted away.
"The U.K. High Court 'found in favor of the movie' by, for example, saying Gore’s claims 'arise in the context of alarmism and exaggeration in support of his political thesis,' 'there is a view to the contrary, i.e. (at least) the mainstream view,' and the sea level rise claims 'distinctly alarmist,'" Chris Horner wrote in The National Review. "The closest the Court came to supporting the movie was to say that it was grounded in the science . . . and spends the rest of its opinion detailing how it then egregiously departs from the science. In other words, any invocation of that snippet as supporting the film is a dishonest use."

One who agrees with Gore and the profit motivated agenda of global warming/clmiate change legislation.
Silence the opposition! Silence voices of dissent! Silence inconvenient arguments and inconvenient questions! Abolish freedom of speech!
This strategy is becoming more and more familiar! Where will it lead?
Next time say “I was going to ask you about the proven lies in your propaganda effort but since you will only duck out on a challenge, do you wear boxers or briefs?”
Mr. Gore, you lie!
Depends...
algore Loser Ha Ha Ha go away.
Not only did they escort him away, they chastized him outside the lecture saying “that’s all you’re gonna get”.
Al Gore is LYING and SCHEMING. What is his worth now? $100million?
I will not bow down to his get rich quick scheme.
Elites look out on the world and decide they can either get more wealth - or they can make everyone else poorer. Poorer is easier.
Al Gore got wee weed up. Too much iced tea?
They (and the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences) engaged in criminal conspiracy to defraud the world.
By the way, has anybody thought to do a study of how much carbon sequestration is LOST because of the California agricultural water shut-off?
And liberals say that Obama’s is the FIRST Nobel Peace Prize won by an American to be jeered.
Lousy commies.
I agree. Al gGore is an easy target and McAleer should have been better prepared.
McAleer should have simply replied “Of course they’re not endangered. They weren’t endanged before and their numbers are increasing.”
He did come across as a microphone hog rather than someone who was being silenced.
Not to say we don't have a POS now, but the POS we have now isn't really a POTUS...he's just a TOTUS.
In spite of all the valid science that proves the World has been cooling for the last 10 years, they are still charging ahead with their anti-capitalist agenda as if we were all dying of thirst and all “green” life on Earth has died and Oceans are flooding mass coastal populations.
Chicken Little IS now completely in charge or environmental policy. And that is exactly who Gore is.
Al Gore has got to be the most arrogant, ignorant public figure of our generation.
Has he figured out a scam to make money off of GLOBAL COOLING, yet?
