Al Gore Sequel: A Convenient Lie

Global Warming, the issue of the century. Yes, there is no doubt a warming trend, science has proven that. What science has not proven is whether Humans are to blame or not.

The liberal left, led by Al Gore, has placed the sole blame on the Human race.

Two recent revelations completely contradict Mr. Gore and his “A Convenient Lie” movie.

Revelation 1: Natural Phenomena have not been included in prior predictions of Global Warming trend

To make this kind of prediction, researchers at the Met Office made a computer model that takes into account such natural phenomena as the El Nino pattern in the Pacific Ocean and other fluctuations in ocean circulation and heat content

Wait a minute, what do you mean they made a computer model that takes natural phenomena into account? Shouldn’t this have been in the original findings? What do you mean that natural phenomena could have a significant effect on Global Warming? Mr. Gore, did you include this in “A Convenient Lie”?

Revelation 2: Global Warming Statistics from NASA has been WRONG for the past 7 1/2 Years

Some big environmental news that you haven’t heard much about: NASA has revised much-publicized US temperature data that have been used to claim 1998 as a record-breaking hottest year in the millenium

Some big environmental news that you haven’t heard much about: NASA has revised much-publicized US temperature data that have been used to claim 1998 as a record-breaking hottest year in the millenium

NASA has now silently released corrected figures, and the changes are truly astounding. The warmest year on record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place.  1921 takes third. In fact, 5 of the 10 warmest years on record now all occur before World War II.  Anthony Watts has put the new data in chart form, along with a more detailed summary of the events

What do you mean the data was wrong? Mr. Ruedy you don’t think that disseminating incorrect data, that others will work off of, is wrong? You don’t think that maybe accurate scientific information should be used in science?

The difference in trend information is minor, however, the CAUSE of Global Warming seems to be shifting.

The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2% less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the US global warming propaganda machine could be huge.

I wonder how much Mr. Gore’s crusade was fuelled by the NASA data?
