Convenient Politics?

June 30, 2007

It appears to me that Al Gore has lost more than the 2000 election to George Bush, he’s lost his integrity with his movie and mission “An Inconvenient Truth“. And of course all of Hollywood who knows little other that what the pleasures of the flesh can privide. I mean, as Paris Hilton said, “I’ve been through a lot“. Sure, and the Pope is Protestant as well. Poor, poor baby. She’s ahd a traumatic past few weeks. Even before Al pushed his ideas onto the Silver Screen and garnered the accolades that Hollywood likes to heap upon their icons, scientists were saying that the Earth melt down theory was pure bunk and scientifically dead wrong. Ah, but don’t let the inconvenient truths get in the way. Here’s a couple of examples.

Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Climate reported, “Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame.”

Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, “Although it’s tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain’s foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests’ humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine.”

Gore claims global warming is causing more tornadoes. Yet the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in February that there has been no scientific link established between global warming and tornadoes.

Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes. However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1 documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past. Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27, that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane activity.

And the list goes on. Talk about inconvenient truths? Let’s talk convenient politics!
