Predictble how, in response to the widespread acclaim Al Gore has received for “An Inconvenient Truth” that the wingnuts would come out in force to attempt to tarnish his gold star by painting a misleading picture of the opinions of scientists.
The article in question attempted to paint the scientific community as being in disagreement with Goreon several points made in his film, rather than stating that the scientific community itself is in disagreement on several points. The author cherry picked responses from scientists who think global warming is not a huge danger to world civillization, some of whom are obviously in the minority who uphold the right wing’s desire to ignore climate change issues. Note that the article did not quote any scientists who agree with the former president on issues such as catastrophic climate change, even though there are a great many scientists who hold that particular view.
What’s really behind this is the Republicans’ fear that Gore might decide to run for president.
