>>he tells the audience that, by simply looking at Antarctic ice cores with the naked eye, one can see when the American Clean Air Act was passed<< Well, that's pretty bizarre. >>Besides clumsy errors in the presentation of the facts (Katrina did not get "stronger and stronger and stronger" as it came over the Gulf of Mexico; rather, it was category 5 over the ocean and was downgraded to category 3 when it made a landfall)<< OTOH, this criticism is really, really sloppy. For example, Katrina did, indeed, get stronger and stronger as it crossed the warm Gulf until it reached category 5, then dropped when it reached land. It really, really annoys me when pots call kettles "black."

And The National Post is what? Where this little bit of attack journalism can be pinned down it is wrong. Gore never says that the science says global warming leads to more hurricanes, just increases the likelihood of stronger ones. Pretty standard technique. Bash someone for something they didn't say. I saw the Gore film yesterday. There is much interesting, much good, certainly a stunningly well done presentation, and some questionable. But it's a serious movie which deserves serious reflection. Not this hit job.
