Poor Al Gore, big movie man

Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."

But surely Carter is merely part of what most people regard as a tiny cadre of "climate change skeptics" who disagree with the "vast majority of scientists" Gore cites? No; Carter is one of hundreds of highly qualified non-governmental, non-industry, non-lobby group climate experts who contest the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing significant global climate change. "Climate experts" is the operative term here.

Why? Because what Gore's "majority of scientists" think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field. [Article]

For several years, Gore has been close to a certified nut case and this kind of thing doesn't do much to change that appearance. I suppose losing the election simply drove him over the edge and into some sort of fairly land where he actually believes his environmental horse shit.

Obviously, many qualified scientists don't.
