As you know, I'm entirely, unmovably sceptical of Mr. Gore and his marketing machine. His film is very interesting but only as a study on moral suasion and manipulation of the uneducated public's very unrefined sentiments. It has little value in terms of it's goal because it is flawed, skewed and agenda-ridden.
The BBC today reports that "An Inconvenient Truth" contains nine significant errors (I'd say that's a typically British softening of the word "lies.") and that the film cannot be shown to British schoolchildren without being presented with an alternate, balancing view.
Here is a series of articles related to the man and his machine.
BBC News
Democratic Underground
Live Earth Flop
...and here are the NUMEROUS other articles that have appeared today
Enjoy and THINK! Just 'cause a big, fat, famous white guy says something is so does not make it so!
On another point - and thanks Dr. M. for pointing this out - do you know that the bible does not make any references, statements or rules about the number of spouses a person can have; nor does it state anything to do with extra marital sex. That stuff was all made up later by some other old fat why guy (or guys, likely) who had political agendas and land holdings they wanted passed on to the sons they had with the women they'd married to increase their land holdings.
Did you know, in the Book of Lists, there is a list of popes who died in the arms of their lovers - male and female?
