An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore is full of it?

"The man [Al Gore] is an embarrassment to US science and its many fine practitioners, a lot of whom know (but feel unable to state publicly) that his propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science," states Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist at The University of Alabama in Huntsville in an article which claims that, contrary to Mr. Gore's assertions, many climate scientists do not believe Gore's global warming claims.

While I believe that the possibility of global warming is real and worth fighting against, when Mr. Gore obscures reality - providing deceptive and misleading data - he only strengthens the view of those whom disagree with global warming. Personally, with Gore's resources, I'd respect him much more if he developed companies, or helped promote companies, that are developing products which give consumers a real chance to fight global warming.

Leave the one-side documentaries to Mr. Moore, Mr. Gore.

In reality, Mr. Gore had a chance to accomplish real change when he was VP, but I guess he prefers to talk about global warming rather than to take real action to fight global warming. Sounding the alarm bell is the easy part, giving consumers the ability to act is the hard part.

America cannot conserve its way out of this problem, nor can the world. While conservation can help, only innovation will solve this problem. America needs leaders focused purely on innovation and solutions not on promoting problems.

In hindsight, Mr. Gore, stay in the movie business.
