Al Gore May Lose his Academy Award and Nobel Peace Prize
Al Gore is being called to account for the misinformed facts in his movie, some are calling outright lies. Fox News reports:
Not everyone is celebrating Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming efforts. Retired climatologist Timothy Balls tells Cybercast News Service that Gore’s movie – "An Inconvenient Truth" – is a "wonderful peace of propaganda" that relies on "visual imagery and gimmickry".
Earlier this week a British judge ruled that the movie had at least nine major errors and could not be shown to students without balancing information. Thursday, the BBC alleged that Gore knew his movie presented false facts, but was afraid any uncertainty would fuel global warming skeptics.
JunkScience.com publisher Steve Milloy says if that is true, "Gore should win the Nobel Prize for propaganda." And Czech President Vaclav Klaus says he is surprised Gore would get a peace prize, noting "The relationship between his activities and world peace is unclear and indistinct."
Meanwhile, a conservative think tank in New Zealand wants Hollywood to strip Gore’s movie of its Oscar.
The West Australian newspaper reports the New Zealand Center of Political Research has written to the president of the group that produces the Academy Awards, contending that the alleged scientific errors in the movie disqualify it for the Best Documentary award.
The president of the group says the situation is similar to when championship athletes are found to be on steroids or other drugs and their victories and medals are nullified.
Even if Gore had named the movie True Lies, it wouldn’t make any difference. With the release of An Inconvenient Truth (carbon credit global warming infomercial), the Academy Award win, and the Nobel Peace prize win, his carbon credit company has made a lot of cash. A lot of people might hate Gore now, but being rich and successful is the best revenge for not making him President. It may be inconvenient, but it’s the truth.

Well said, Heather! I totally agree with you!
Sorry for the typos, but I was ticked.
It doesn’t matter where the information comes from or their party affiliation. Al Gore and his “research team” don’t know what they are talking about. Or they did know and still blurred the lines of reality a bit for fame.
Gore’s done a great job of promoting himself and his mockumentary but I am tired of people thinking that whatever they see in a movie or on TV is gospel and not a bunch of propaganda.
I am also tired of Democrats and moron.org members always deflecting the light away from their own mistakes. So Al Gore makes a film riddled with inaccuracies and makes up some half-baked carbon credit program and a bunch of people fall for it.
So it is Fox New’s fault that Al Gore is a lier and one of the biggest users of carbon out there?
Don’t think so, guys.
Not surprising that all of these nay-sayers are conservative organizations—–Fox News, the “conservative think tank”—–they realize this is a major accomplishment for Gore and they’re trying to do damage control.
