A Convenient Idiot

One of the things you know that is wrong is the whole area of “global warming”. Seemingly unaware of the fact that the theory is still quite controversial among actual climate scientists (Scientific American’s despicable smear job on Bjorn Lomborg notwithstanding), Al Gore does his best Chicken Little impression in his new movie An Inconvenient Truth, to which people who actually know what they’re talking about are responding not so positively:

[There are] hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. “Climate experts” is the operative term here. Why? Because what Gore’s “majority of scientists” think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field.
