Confronting Al Gore with An Inconvenient Question
by Ann McElhinneyThe Society of Environmental Journalists spent much of their conference in Madison, Wisconsin questioning why mainstream journalism was dying.
Then they answered their own question when they decided it was their role to protect Al Gore from An Inconvenient Question.
Phelim McAleer, the director of Not Evil Just Wrong, asked Al Gore about the British Court Case which found his documentary An Inconvenient Truth had nine significant errors.
McAleer said that given his documentary is being shown in schools – does he accept the errors and has he done anything to correct them?
However, Mr. Gore declined to address the issue and when asked for a straight answer from McAleer – the response of the Society of Enironmental Journalists was not to applaud one of their own for bringing truth to power but instead they cut the mic of a journalist.

Society of Enironmental Journalists are just doing what obama has told them to do – they are proud members of the chicago thuggery and the new shiny prize is proof to them that the gw fraud is the only religion needed for the World
NOBEL HAIL OBAMA LIAR – ALL HAIL OBAMA LIAR
Gosh, he looks so natural. Doesn't he look natural? They did a really good job with him.
Gosh, he looks so natural. Doesn't he look natural? They did a really good job with him. I mean, he almost looks alive.
What do you expect?
You know these fools have no idea what is in store for them. They keep pushing and there are millions of people doing the slow burn with loads of ammo and weapons. I have talked with many people. Not right wing extremist rednecks even though that label is overused. These people are plain old working people fed up with strutting fops like Gore and are ready to just take them down. Gore is an ass who along with Soros and GE are creating a situation to many billions. They could give two shits about the environment. Now that pussy Graham is signing on. There little fantasy world is going to crash down on them hard,
I thought this was an open casket for Mr. Gore (I had not heard that he'd passed away, peace be upon him). And then…he spoke! Scared the cat!

Don't even thing of questioning the great thinker Al Gore!
And, by the way gore was trying to answer the question on a technicality. Polar Bears are 'on the endanger species list' due to the supposed global warming, not due to declining population.
Go figure.
Several folks were in the wrong in this instance, but whoever cut the "mic" was not one of them. It was wrong for Al Gore to evade the question. It was wrong for the other journalists to support Gore's evasiveness and to oppose the asking of tough questions. However, as someone in the excerpt said, it was not a debate. It was a forum for Al Gore. When it became clear that Mr. Gore would not address Mr. McAleer's issues, that alone should have told us all we needed to know; Mr. Gore's dissembling was a tacit admission of the weakness of his position. At that point, Mr. McAleer had no more of a continued right to the microphone than the "Don't tase me, bro!" guy did. Please don't turn the free speech issue on its head.
I absolutely love that Scot journalist.
Wow! Just think, algore coulda been pres-i-dent!
Society of Enironmental Journalists? They have nothing to report if the news is good, so the news must be bad.
The ice caps didn't melt, the sea didn't swallow my little manhattan apartment, and we're not standing around in shorts slathered with spf50 sunblock.
I thought we were doomed Mr. Gore. What happened?

PATHETIC "Emperors New Clothes" example ALWAYS from the Left/Liberals/Extremists/.Socialists/Communists.
POLAR BEARS are INCREASING!
To try to say that "are they in danger"? OF COURSE they dive into sub ZERO waters so they ALWAYS are in danger.
For this Gore gets a Nobel Prize and BILLIONS from American Taxpayers. Emperors New Clothes plain and simple if ANYONE cared to look. to ask. to question. PATHETIC
Just unbelievable. Al gore does not like free speech. Just plain arrogant !!
Begorrah, I believe he's Irish, though I like him, too.
That both the CRU destroying their own data and Keith Briffa's own omission of the larger data set disproving the "spike" he and Mann were able to conjure up only go to show the scientific dishonesty alarmists are more than willing to commit. As for the why? Its almost impossible to get ANY data on who is getting what portion of the CO2 booty and likely in that we'd find the cause for this "warming affliction".
Anyone who didn't already realize that this whole thing was a crock should have gotten a big clue when the enviro-alarmists were forced by circumstances to change their scare-slogan from "global warming" to "climate change."
Wow… It is so disheartening to see journalists actually behaving as purveyors of disception instead of trying to get to the truth. Keep questioning, Mr. MacAleer!

I live in Madison WI and only wish I had the chance to go down to the hotel where he was bloviating….er, speaking. He has a very friendly audience here in Moscow…er.. Madison. If cap n trade goes through, the same people supporting this *sshat, will be crying over their utility bills which will "necessarily skyrocket according to the One". Talking with a neighborhood friend, who supports the global warming bs. He tried to discredit skepticism by saying that we global warming skeptics alway pick an outlier "cold snap" as unreliable evidence against global warming. I said that No, the data taken in its entirety clearly refutes global warming. He had nothing else to say to that. It's going to be a frustrating row to hoe, bringing logic into this emotional debate!
Global warming is a HOAX, polar bears are not now, nor have they ever been "endangered", and Gore has made many millions of dollars off this fraud.
Gore is a dolt. The guy is what the Brits refer to as "two clever by half" The real crime is the credence placed in him by people (idiots) who should better.
And not one so-called journalist will realize the disgusting irony of what they pulled today.
That's why I watch FoxNews and get my news from the blogs. Fair and Balanced. No BS.
On a follow up. Truthfully Gore was a bit unhinged to begin with. His eyes always looked off when he spoke. His losing to Bush drove him over the edge. I think he is insane. Really he is. And the Marxists follow this nut. Shows where their heads are at LOL.
Gore knows there is no man-bear-pig and that it's a ruse to pad his pockets with millions of dollars. Gore WILL NOT debate anyone face-to-face because he knows his facts aren't facts, but based soley on ideology and hate for capitalism. Except for him though. Excelsior!
Watch out for comments like these. The Thought Police in Washington have interns and other wee minions deliberately posting inciteful and threatening comments on blogs and news groups that oppose their vision… this so that they can later link the blog/newsgroup owners to their ever-ambiguous definitons for domestic terrorists. This tactic can be used to eventually shut groups like this down. I'd recommend deleting these comments as soon as you see them, questioning the poster to find out who they "really" are, and if they are legit, make sure that you ask them to refrain from posting anything that could inevitably be used against the site itself.
I wonder how large is the carbon offset that we should require every time Gore opens his mouth?

Agree with your sentiment, but water does not stay liquid at sub zero, especially salt water. The air may be sub zero, but not the water.
In any event, the Polar Bears are perfectly designed to function just fine in the cold. And they live fine in the warmth of zoos, too. I'd say they're pretty adaptable creatures.
You see, from Al Gore's point of view, "the argument is settled." That means no further questions. You know, like all the rest of science. We have the Final Answer to everything, so more questioning — and especially any questioning of political elites like Gore — is simply not to be allowed.
A truly sad day for so-call "environmental journalism." Their job is to take dictation from Gore and print it as is.
They have truly beclowned themselves.
[...] More on this subject, plus video, over at Big Hollywood. [...]
More like parkas, mukluks and outdoor skating in the park in July.
But none of it caused by us humans.
Stop global warming. Duct tape (aka: Tennessee chrome) fat Al's mouth shut.
That in and of itself is very scary and sad.
Al is making way too much money to be bothered with the truth now!
McAleer seriously didn't expect anything else than what he received from Gore did he? Al Gore has never answered any questions regarding the factual errors and inconsistencies in his Global Warming hypefest.
Its actually two scientific terms: global warming is the increase of the entire globes temperature. Climate change is what scientists study because we have a few dozen climates around the globe. Remember when America experienced a cool July? It was the second warmest July on record global. NASA released data and showed a cool spot over the United States and orange and red in many spots. This is a complicated, yet understandable science.
Not a fan of Al Gore by any means, but on the basis of science, crazy spikes up and down in temperature is more proof that global climate change is real. The only thing debatable is how quickly the planet is in trouble.
Again I have one simple question for these "environmentalists" to answer.
What is the optimum level of CO2 in parts per million to exist on the planet and why?
You complain the Antartic ICe Cores show an increase of 280-380 in fifty years (you seem to ignore the issue of condensation of CO2 at the South Pole when ambient temp falls below -78 degrees celcius). What is the level that is best. Explain why warming the planet and increasing the biomass by increasing the level of CO2 availalble is not a beneficial turn of events?
This is the same man who told reporters two years ago that “balance is bias”.
"I believe that is one of the principal reasons why political leaders around the world have not yet taken action," Gore said. "There are many reasons, but one of the principal reasons in my view is more than half of the mainstream media have rejected the scientific consensus implicitly — and I say 'rejected,' perhaps it's the wrong word. They have failed to report that it is the consensus and instead have chosen … balance as bias.”
He is shameless and will say anything, anyone who thinks this about climate is a fool.
Why won't the leprechauns leave Al Gore alone?! Damn those lucky charms!
Man made global warming is a hoax, being sold to the American people by snake oil salesmen. There are scientists who have debunked the theory of man made global warming, but no one is listening because it is all about the money. The corporations that are pushing for it are making money from it. They are making green from going green.
There are laws on the books regarding pollution to keep our air, land and water pristine. The government sets certain standards on the amount of pollution. However, clean air credits can be purchased from other companies if your company is more of a polluter. (Emissions trading) This does nothing to reduce the amount of pollution it just balances it out. Those credits are then traded (bought and sold) for money.
Companies are being formed to sell carbon offsets, wherein people pay the company money to offset their use of carbon vehicles. In turn the company is supposed to plant some trees………
……The incandescent bulb is being outlawed; in its place are the compact fluorescent bulbs that contain mercury a hazardous material. There are reports about mercury in the water supply and in certain fish and it is deadly. (Mercury poisoning) Thomas Edison has to be rolling in his grave.
Al Gore, Chairman of Generation Investment Management LLP, has been making money from this hoax and just recently had Gnewt Gingrich do a commercial with Nancy Pelosi about Global Warming. Gingrich stated he had to get on the stage in order to discuss it, but by getting on Al Gore’s stage he accepted the premise of man made global warming. He should have had Al Gore come onto his stage with the scientists who could debunk this hoax. Again it is all about the money.

If you just removed the words Global Warming Al Gore would be charged with perpatrating and continuing a Fraud for personal gain. The only cover he has is that he says he believs this. I can only hope that some insider some where has some document or recording with Al Gore saying that he knows that most of what he has been preaching is not true. If such evidence exists he could and should be prosocuted for perpatraing the BIGGEST FRAUD in human history.

Damn, I miss Michael Crichton.
…..This was another bill that was voted on by our Congressman without being read. Is it too much to ask our politicians to at least read the bills before they vote on them? What happened to Obama’s promise of “transparency,” and the bills being on the government’s website for five days for the citizens to review?
Immigration reform (amnesty) and healthcare (Nationalized Medicine) are also on the table. Obama and the Democrats are on the fast track towards Socialism, and that is why they are trying to rush these bills through before the public realizes the harm it will cause this country. What they are doing is not in the best interest of this country, it is about “control.” If they pass these things we will have to endure the results until the 2010 and 2012 elections, when we can get a chance to fire them, and roll these laws back.

Cram this down your neighbor's throat: http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Scientists+...
Very true. Bar'aq al Hussein supporters are governed completely by emotion. So much so that what little reason they may have once had is now just a nagging feeling in what's left of their consciences.
Gore is your typical democrat that lives on hypocrisy, flying around the world emitting more carbon etc. in one day than most Americans do in their entire lives. Can someone please shut that fool up? How doesn't matter, just get it done!
"I used all that money that was given to me to fight global warming, child – and it worked! I can save the world…for a fee, of course."
Our Congress and Senate are neck deep the the profit from greening of America, and the President has hired artist to promote propaganda with tax payers grants.
This is going to take a total change and if President Stupidly continues without thinking we will have it soon.
Algore's brain is still in his lock–box. It's good to see some resistance from a Euro against the religion of globalswarming.
Nothing this poster said was inflammatory or inciteful. It was merely stating an observation. However, I should hope that we can put an end to the leftist agenda with peaceful means, before it's to late and our country and economy is "fundamentally transformed".
For all those Whitehouse thugs who want to infringe on free speech:

Nothing but a bunch of crap to control the people. Gore needs to get a job!
You're being way to kind.
I have a few questions about global warming.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST ICE AGE?
Wasn't it global warming that caused the ice to melt?
"Nothing this poster said was inflammatory or inciteful."
Really?
"…there are millions of people doing the slow burn with loads of ammo and weapons."
That doesn't seem a trifle inflammatory to you?
"Nothing this poster said was inflammatory or inciteful (sic)."
Really?
"…there are millions of people doing the slow burn with loads of ammo and weapons."
That doesn't seem a trifle inflammatory to you?
Actually, ocean water will freeze at around -2 celcius.
Cap (Crap) and Trade (Tax)
Obama campaigned on the platform of “Hope and Change” throughout his race for the presidency. I stated if he gets elected all we will have left is change. At the rate Obama and the Democrats are going we will not even have the change left.
The House of Representatives just passed the Cap and Trade (i.e. Cap and Tax) bill because of the Hoax of global warming. This law will cause our energy prices to rise and make it more difficult for you to sell your home among other things. Obama stated under cap and trade he will bankrupt the coal industry and energy costs will necessarily skyrocket. Under a cap and trade system, government sets a cap on the total amount of carbon that can be emitted nationally; companies (like Goldman Sachs) then buy or sell permits to emit CO2. The cap then gets cranked down over time to reduce total carbon emissions, increasing costs. Remember ENRON? That was a company that traded in CO2 offsets……
As anyone with even just a third of a brain has figured out that Al Bore (and the rest of the lying socialists of the world) have invented "global warming" as a way to squeeze money from the working serfs. If you dare to confront Bore with his lie, his global warming goon squad will silence you. It's the liberal scam of the century….geared for the simpletons….and there certainly is no shortage of them.
[...] Confronting Al Gore with An Inconvenient Question [...]
Aw, give me a freaking break, willya!
I am sick to death of this "climate" argument! Back in the 70's, it was all about "Global Cooling", and Newsweek used to drag out a cover a month telling us we were all gonna freeze to death in a new Ice Age.
And when they couldn't prove THAT, here comes the "Global Warming" alerts, and Newsweek dutifully puts out a cover a month how we're all gonna die roasting on a 24-hr. day rotating Earth spit.
Now, comes "Global Climate Change" which CONVENIENTLY covers both sides of your asses no matter what happens!
So, let me tell you how I intend to deal with you "Climate Chicken Littles", and your "The Climate is Falling, The Climate is Falling!!!" whinnying…
Come 2010, I am going to scream long and loud at every legislature and elected official to CUT YOUR FUNDING TO THE BONE, IF NOT OFF COMPLETELY!!!
Do your "Gloom and Doom" act on Main Street wearing a sandwich board, proclaiming, "The End is Near!"
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!

We all want to leave future generations with a clean environment, clean inexpensive energy sources, etc., but it does NOT have to come with directives from the United Nations per Agenda 21 dictates.
Cap and Trade will be the ultimate in killing our USA manufacturing. When manufacturing is gone…..we as a nation are toast.

I can well understand why you use an an@logy that includes symbols of strength and force such as 'guns and ammo', but stop a moment and examine it.
The left are hell bent on 'Globalization' they are using every avenue, to attack individual rights and freedom.
They are doing this with "Soft Tyranny" and vast numbers of people do not realize what is going on.
This has been happening for years. oBama is not the author, just another puppet in a long line, some were unaware that their strings were being pulled.
Why are 'We' just now aware of it?. Because, they have grown impatient now that the 'Goal' is in sight, and become a little sloppy. Also there is the fact, that despite all the hype oBama is not as competent a liar as they thought, we see through him, poor casting on the Globalist part
This article will give you a clearer idea of WHY a lot of seemingly senseless laws have been passed.
http://www.newswithviews.com/DeWeese/tom137.htm
……………It is long and involved so save the reading for when you are fresh and alert.
What I took from this article is that 'waiting' for the fire to bring us to the boiling point is waiting too long.
What we need Right Now is not 'guns and ammo', it is strength of character and intestinal fortitude.
We have a vast army—the newly unemployed……The New Job of the Unemployed is Fighting the Thieves who robbed them.
The little old ladies and the little old men showed us how… with the Tea Parties.
Granny can't do it all alone.
Joe i agree with ExZonie, being afraid of speaking your mind because the government might 'shut you down' is scary and sad….and in fact accomplishes their goal.

shameful
Ah-big Al nature's pal he walks he talks he's almost human.
This just exposes (once again) that the left ONLY supports Free Speech if, and only if, it is LIBERAL free speech. Anyone who dares to disagree with the left will be a racist, shouted down, marginalized, personally attacked.
Fox, Brietbart, Glenn Beck and others are more than a thorn in the left's side, they are actually practicing freedom of the press. Thank you for doing the mainstream media job for them. The MSM has whored themselves obsolete.
Thirty five frickin degrees at the start of last night's Phils/Rockies game. Maybe, if the fifty plus thousand folks who attended the game had left their cars on in the parking lot, global warming could have taken hold, and the temperature at the end of the game would have been a balmy 28.0000001 instead of 28. I'm not sure about the science. I guess I will fact-check for consensus with the "environmental journalists" for the real poop.
You are correct my friend
I did a little research myself and found through the Govt website that in the 60's there were approx. 10,000 P bears today 35,000
Delusional Al Gore. He's like the crazy uncle who lives in your attic.
The real question they avoid, is what are they doing about Mars and Venus?
Almost as shameful as wishing death upon a vice president:

Any thoughts on that or do you reserve your self-righteous indignation for non leftists?
The moment Senator Inhofe challenged Al Gore to curb his own gluttonous energy consumption, and Al Gore refused should have been a wake up call to everyone.
Why is anyone even listening to this blowhard anymore???
I would not trust any information that has been filtered thru the leftist IPCC. Their projections were totally shredded when the data was scrutinized by outside scientists. The idiots who buy into the moron gore's global warming hoax are far left democrats with a socialist political agenda. You can tell the hoax is over and they have nothing when gore uses the polar bear diversion when asked a question he can not possibly answer. We must vote these non american's socialist democrats, who are pushing the cap & trade wealth re-distribution bill, out of office in 2010, And defeat the rest of their commie agenda.
