    Why would the top one be a speech to hear?
    I thought sustainability was about telling the truth.
    Al Gores trying to pass of as a guy who “speaks science”, and yet knowingly, by agenda, is telling really outrageous lies to get his point across. And later even admits to doing so and saying it was necessary and justified!

    No Sir, I respectfully disagree, the need to falsify data usually means something. At least where scientists live.

  • When I google it I get so and so many lies and untruths it’s hard for me to know where to start, which lies and false data do you mean?

  • thomas:

    The edited “hockey club”, the clear datamining for scientific reports against or in favor of anthropogenic effects on recent climate variation (some 1000s vs 0, in his “inconvenient lies”), extreme weather phenomena, draught, famine (famine being mostly cause by other reasons, than current climate change)… etc.
    This is the reason why if British teachers use this as study material in school, they (by court order) must tell the kids that “its not all true”.
    I think its a disgrace that he was the figurehead of the nobelprize….
    Besides, peace, WTF…

    (disclaimer: I agree, its really diff. to find “the truth”, maybe because its not that simple)

  • When doing a presentation you can almost always change the scales and manipulate the data so that it will show whatever you would like it to show. However the IPCC has been working on this issue for 20 years now? and the peace prize was for them too (well mainly i think) the reason why Gore got it, and this is pure speculations, is that the committee wanted to make a point that this IS a really important issue NOW.

    (Edit: 090807) Regarding the Nobel: “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change” from: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2007/
