"The incovienent truth", brilliant work of fiction it was, won an award for the same reason Micheal Moore won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film festival for "Fahrenhiet 9/11". To quote Cannes’s Official Jury, which had Quentin Tarantino as its president "We want you to know that the politics of your film had nothing to do with this award — you were given the award because you made a great film."
Same deal here. Gore is making a killing and the entire film has been already been largely if not completely discredited... so why would he care how much energy he uses? Here's a great read on atmospheric CO2 and its effect on 'global warming', that doesn't rule out the possibility that humans ARE changing the climate to make the globe hotter... but why CO2 isn't the cause: http://www.junkscience.com/Greenhouse/ Hope I haven't been to political here, but the whole climate change debate and the people who claim it as fact with little or no regard for their own actions is getting on my nerves! |
