Another skeptic zombie killed, probably not for the last time
More on the nine 'errors' in Gore's movie |

| As I said in my earlier post on the subject, there's less than meets the eye to the story of the British judge that found nine "errors" in An Inconvenient Truth. Turns out they weren't errors, just points the judge deemed different enough from the IPCC view to warrant explanatory materials -- and the judge was off about most of them anyway.That hasn't stopped the media from making a total hash of it. Read Tim Lambert's two posts on the Washington Post's war o ... |

Errors in An Inconvenient Truth?
Brit judge claims to find errors in Gore movie |

| This just in from Fox News: A High Court judge in London has turned film critic, highlighting 'nine scientific errors' in Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. The judge said some of the errors had arisen in 'the context of alarmism and exaggeration' to support the former US vice-president's thesis on global warming. The Government's decision to show the film in secondary schools had come under attack from father-of-two Stewart Dimmock, a Kent school gov ... |

| Jessica Weisberg is an American journalist currently based in South America. The following is her take on the peculiar cultural dominance of An Inconvenient Truth. ----- I liked Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Really, I did. But when I count off my reasons -- the special effects, the wet-your-pants astonishment, the drama -- I find myself applauding the film's popular appeal more than its take-home message. ... |

That pre-Oscar hype paled next to last night's event, which saw Al Gore -- looking blissfully bloated in a Ralph Lauren tux -- take home an award for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song. OK, technically the Goracle himself didn't win either of the statuettes for An Inconve ... |

Truth Be Told
Gore's new flick, An Inconvenient Truth, improbably succeeds |
David Roberts |
24 May 2006 |
Arts and Minds |
| It's something of a miracle that An Inconvenient Truth, the chronicle of Al Gore's quest to raise alarm about "climate chaos," exists at all. A movie with a scantily clad Jessica Alba presenting a computer slideshow on climate science is implausible enough. Al Gore doing it, well ... even C-SPAN could be forgiven for having second thoughts. Albert Arnold Gore Jr. may be many things, ... |

| At 25 years of age, Sundance is the country's premier festival of independent film. But a lot has changed over that quarter century. Well, actually, one thing has changed: m-o-n-e-y. There's a ton of Hollywood cash spent at Sundance, and I could see it everywhere I looked last week. The "VIP" corporate parties on Main Street. The piles of free stuff for celebrities.
