An Inconvenient Truth

        An Inconvenient Truth is Al Gore’s 2006 “documentary” film about global warning.  I just watched it again.  If you have not watched it recently, it is worth a couple hours.  I questioned much of the movie in 2006, but with what I know as facts today, it is pure propaganda.

        I watched this time with a pen and paper.  I took two pages of notes.  One time, I made the notation that I might have to “Pause to go puke.”

        I do not question that we have climate change.  The area where I live in Wisconsin was once covered by a glacier and it melted.  We have always had climate change and that will continue until our Sun burns out and we have a real ice age.  My problem is thinking mere mortals can control it, and are blaming it on carbon emissions. 

        The movie is very well done and plays on people’s emotions.  It played an important role in persuading people that the world was in danger due to carbon dioxide emissions. 

        Gore showed a polar bear swimming in the ocean and stated they were drowning due to melting ice.  Polar bears like to swim in the ocean and some probably do drown on occasion just as humans drown on occasion, but the facts show that the polar bear population has increased dramatically since 2006.

        The film states that melting ice will raise the oceans by twenty feet and flood Florida, San Francisco, and Manhattan.  Gore is not specific about when this will happen, but implies it will happen within the decade.  We are already past that time line with little or no change in ocean levels. 

        Gore blames all severe weather on climate change.  It does not matter if it is drought, floods, heat, cold, tornadoes, or hurricanes; he claims they all happen because of our carbon emissions.  Sometimes the convoluted logic is amazing.

        Most of the facts and data used in the film were either totally manufactured or taken from the climate change studies funded by the United Nations.  After Climatgate, these studies are considered questionable or at the very least were manipulated after the Climategate scandal.

        Gore advocates joining the United Nation’s Kyoto Protocol to control global warming.  In my opinion, Kyoto is just a scam for world-wide wealth redistribution. 

        Gore considers his conclusions to be absolute and unquestioned.  He uses cartoons to ridicule any rational thought that might disagree with his opinion.  He even misquotes people like Winston Churchill to make his point.

        I totally agree that we should all be good stewards of the natural resources God has given us, but the proposed carbon emission legislation and the recent actions of the Environmental Protection Agency will do nothing to control climate change. 

        It is impossible to calculate how many millions of dollars Al Gore has made with his anti-carbon campaign.  The good news is that he has not been able to establish the Carbon Exchange which would have put him, and others, in a position of world power and world-wide income redistribution.  I am ashamed to admit that I voted for this man, but we all make mistakes.
