The Climate Crisis

Gore Gets It Right

UPDATE: Here's a summary of who some of the principal Climate Crisis Deniers are, most of them funded by Exxon Mobil, some through as many as five Exxon sponsored organizations. Related article here.

Despite the Bushite disinformation and the perennial Climate Crisis deniers, the AP took a survey of climate scientists and found: The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.

The former vice president's movie — replete with the prospect of a flooded New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets — mostly got the science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.

As for the Climate Crisis Deniers, Gore commented, "They are quite literally afraid to know the truth," Gore said. "Because if you accept the truth of what the scientific community is saying, it gives you a moral imperative to start to rein in the 70 million tons of global warming pollution that human civilization is putting into the atmosphere every day."
