It's high time Gore is exfoliated, and exposed for what he really is.

His Inconvenient Truth is anything but, and I'm going to start the ball rolling by pointing out some of the actual science that he has conveniently chosen to leave out of his movie......

Let's start with this, from the website for his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and the link titled "The Science."
http://www.climatecrisis.net/thescience/

"The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years." ....the cite is from an article by Kerry Emanuel in Nature, 2005.

But look what Kerry Emanuel says in Jan 2006 in a FAQ on his MIT website.....

1.) Q: Is global warming causing more hurricanes?
A: No. The global, annual frequency of tropical cyclones (the generic, meteorological term for the storm that is called a tropical storm or hurricane in the Atlantic region) is about 90, plus or minus 10. There is no indication whatsoever of a long-term trend in this number.

3.) Q: Is the intensity of hurricanes increasing with time?
A: There is some (my emphasis added) evidence that it is.

4.) Q: But aren’t there lots of errors in the hurricane record?
A: Yes, there are...

6.) Q: You say that reliable records of hurricane wind speeds go back only to about 1950, so how can you say that there were not even more intense storms before 1950? How can you assert that the upswing in the last 50 years is a consequence of global warming?
A: We cannot say for sure......

......and this little gem:
8.) Q: I gather from this last discussion that it would be absurd to attribute the Katrina disaster to global warming?
A: Yes, it would be absurd.

In the start page for the the movie's website, there's a little slideshow. Does anyone recognize the location where the boats are that are grounded in the desert?? I don't suppose anyone knows the real reason that the body of water they used to float in is all dried up???
