Guess what, Gore’s “science” on global warming isn’t exactly scientific
In Gore on Climate Change: Scientists Respond, NPR did a great piece on how scientists are responding to the lack of science is Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth.” From the piece,
Can you give us some examples of some of the concerns that scientists have?
I saw Al Gore give a talk at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco last December. He was cheered by this enormous audience of scientists, who were really excited to hear his message that it’s time to take global warming seriously.
But after the talk, a couple of [the scientists] came up to me and said, you know, “He didn’t exactly get the science right.”
Gore said that Arctic ice could be gone entirely in 34 years, and he made it seem like a really precise prediction. There are certainly scary predictions about what’s going to happen to Arctic sea ice in the summertime, but no one can say “34 years.” That just implies a degree of certainty that’s not there. And that made a few scientists a bit uncomfortable to hear him making it sound so precise.
This is the same guy that invented the Internet.
