Evidently you didn't follow the complete segue, complete with side bar links.....Looks like the questions began sometime ago for Mr. Gore, from scientists with a much larger background in the environment that Al Gore has....and they don't agree with him.

I believe that the "over-representation of the facts" started here...

Message 22486992

And I quote: "He didn't quite say that. But I'd like to know, precisely, what an "over-representation of the facts" consists of. It does sound like a euphemism for "absurd hyperbole.""

Here's the original statement....
ace.mu.nu

and here is another article from another scientist--Dr. Roy Spencer...

See Dr. Spencer questions, particularly #1, but all the questions written to Al Gore....

Everyone knows that weather forecasts are not totally accurate.
