Scientists: Gore Goes Too Far in 'An Inconvenient Truth'

Feb. 25: Former Vice President Al Gore, left, and Davis Guggenheim, director,
hold the Oscar for best documentary feature for 'An Inconvenient Truth.'
Several experts on climate change, including both proponents and skeptics of
the man-made global warming theory, question former Vice President Al Gore's
assertions in his Academy Award-winning documentary film "An Inconvenient
Truth."
"I don't want to pick on Al Gore," said Don J. Easterbrook, a geologist at
Western Washington University, told an annual meeting of the Geological Society
of America, according to a report in The New York Times. "But there are a lot
of inaccuracies in the statements we are seeing, and we have to temper that
with real data."
In the slideshow presentation that is the central part of "An Inconvenient
Truth," Gore lays out what most researchers consider to be the worst-case
scenario for global warming, with total melting of polar ice caps, a sea-level
rise of 20 feet and catastrophic flooding and droughts.

"He's a very polarizing figure in the science community," Roger A. Pielke Jr.,
an environmental scientist at the Center for Science and Technology Policy
Research at the University of Colorado, told the Times. "Very quickly, these
discussions turn from the issue to the person, and become a referendum on Mr.
Gore."
Current scientific consensus holds that human industrial activity has sharply
increased the amounts of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the
atmosphere, and that average temperatures worldwide will rise for at least the
next century but at a much more gradual rate than that depicted in "An
Inconvenient Truth."
"Climate change is a real and serious problem," said Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish
political scientist and statistician whose book "The Skeptical
Environmentalist" challenges many of the catastrophic assertions made by
proponents of the global-warming theory. "The cacophony of screaming does not
help."
