An Inconvenient Truth gets “five stars for accuracy”

Posted in Green, Politics by Riskable on the June 28th, 2006

I just noticed on Digg a CNN article talking about the scientific accuracy of Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth:

The AP contacted more than 100 top climate researchers by e-mail and phone for their opinion. Among those contacted were vocal skeptics of climate change theory. Most scientists had not seen the movie, which is in limited release, or read the book.
But those who have seen it had the same general impression: Gore conveyed the science correctly; the world is getting hotter and it is a manmade catastrophe-in-the-making caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

So the question remains: How do you convince the “faith-based” skeptics that global warming is real and caused by human activity? No matter what statistic or evidence you present, they still don’t believe. Not only that, but listening to global warming skeptics present endless debunked arguments is getting very tedious. Perhaps I should print out some Global Warming Skeptic Bingo cards
