Gore Got The Nobel Prize, But May Have To Give Up His Oscar

By Rob on October 12, 2007 at 11:52 am

As media in America fall all over themselves with glee at the thought of the Global Warmingist-in-Chief winning a Nobel Peace Prize, Wednesday’s findings by a British judge that Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” contained nine material falsehoods has prompted a request to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to strip the movie’s producers of the Oscars they received in February for “Best Documentary.”

Will the Nobel people ask Al to give back his prize due to these inaccuracies? Will the global warming zealots acknowledge these problems in Al’s facts? Will the media end Al’s status as “liberal darling” and start questioning him on some of the holes in his global warming logic?

Not bloody likely. But it would be nice to see Gore lose the Oscar, at least.

We can only hope this fraud is publicly stripped of his Oscar, and everything else he has “won”.

Media uncovers more Palin stories in one weekend than Obama stories in two years. Still no bias detected

For those interested in the judge’s actual ruling (as opposed to the right-wing spin of it) you can find it here:

Key parts:

I turn to AIT [An Inconvenient Truth], the film. The following is clear:

i) It is substantially founded upon scientific research and fact, albeit that the science is used, in the hands of a talented politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political programme.

(...)

22. I have no doubt that Dr [Peter] Stott, the Defendant’s expert, is right when he says that:

“Al Gore’s presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change in the film was broadly accurate.”

You seem to have overlooked this one:

iii) There are errors and omissions in the film, to which I shall refer, and respects in which the film, while purporting to set out the mainstream view (and to belittle opposing views), does in fact itself depart from that mainstream, in the sense of the “consensus” expressed in the IPCC reports.

Damn inconvenient, that.
