>>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."" And from that the blogger created the headline: "Gore: "Over-Representation of the Facts" Necessary To Scare People About Global Warming" making it look like Gore had acknowledged using "absurd hyperbole." And you picked up on it: "WHAT a jerk!!!! Gore: "Over-Representation of the Facts"" And I cried "foul." Dance around all you like but until you show where Gore said or implied that he was hyping the science, it's a foul. 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. When I saw first saw the blogger's headline, I was stunned that Gore would say such a thing--give us a smoking gun--so I checked it out. He didn't. It's a smear. It has nothing to do with your red herring about whether any scientists agree with him on anything unless, of course, you think that disagreement on some issue entitles pundits to concoct personal smears.
