New Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) replies have exposed more misdeeds by Professor Edward Wegman and Yasmin Said at George Mason University (GMU), closely involved with the Kochs, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and many others known for attacks on climate science.

When deniers can't get even get oil money
Ah yes - the good old CEI. The same CEI who has received over 1 million in funding from Exxon and who, coincidentally, Exxon stopped giving money to this year after the Royal Society called on them to stop funding denial groups who "misrepresented the science of climate change by outright denial of the evidence." Heck, when you're a full blown denier and you can't even get the largest oil company in the world to fund you who can you call on? Maybe you've got deep pockets Johan?
A very predictable
Predictable Truth
The climatologists at
The climatologists at RealClimate found that Gore had the science right, with a few small errors. Link here.
They also noted here at this link :
""An Inconvenient Truth," the Davis Guggenheim documentary on global warming starring Al Gore's presentation on the subject, provides an accurate, engaging, accessible, thought-provoking and (at times) even humorous introduction to one of the most important scientific issues of our time ( see our review of the movie). In some countries, viewing "An Inconvenient Truth" has actually become a required part of the science curriculum, and with good justification, we think..."
What do climatologists know?
Hey, wait a second! What does CEI know about good movies? Perhaps the Academy is a better judge than even them!
Actually, I don't think very highly of the Oscars -- it's another beauty contest of the kind "Little Miss Sunshine" seemed to be against. On the other hand, I expect less bias from the Academy than I do from CEI. Johan, how was their review of "You can't be cool without fuel"?

Did you know no one has ever died of AIDS? It's a fact. It's just not the whole truth.
Case Closed!
This conclusively proves that there is a total consensus among Hollywood showbusiness people that human-caused global warming is as real and genuine as they are.
And that's good enough for me!
Here's an article by a
Here's an article by a teacher recommending a second fillm that should be shown with An Inconvenient Truth: Oil on Ice
"...The union of the two films strengthens the message of “An Inconvenient Truth” and gives students the “whole truth.”
Oil on Ice frames four main objectives in brilliant clarity and with an uplifting message of hope and possibility:
* First, it gives stinging statistics about our fossil fuel dependency. When energy guru Amory Lovins explains that the world uses a cubic mile of oil a year and the United States uses 10,000 gallons a second, the look on your student’s faces will be priceless;
* Secondly, it smashes the myth of economic havoc created by reducing and eliminating our oil addiction. From 1977 to 1985 with the implementation of CAFE standards (higher mileage for cars) and energy conservation our nation made outstanding economic growth..."
