I guess this...

Just blows the hell out of Right Wing denials eh? But of course, Paul from Wizbang (One of the frequent denialist), knows more than these scientist. Or at least thinks he does.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.
The former vice president's movie - replete with the prospect of a flooded New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets - mostly got the science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.

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.

Wow. The AP says the right hand man to Al Gore in his ultra-alarmist, politically motivated, junk science movie gives his documentary five stars.

So 19 out of the 100 scientists they contacted even bothered to see such an important, ground breaking movie and they had the same "general impression" that Gore "mostly got the science right"?

I'm underwhelmed. I'm curious as to what part of the "science" he got wrong.

But does this mean I'm denying Global Warming exists? Nah. But to act like there is no debate among scientists is almost silly.

But hey- it sure is a great political tool.

I meant for Chicken Little and HillBillary.

Remember- I live in Minnesota where those Glaciers left over 12,000 Lakes for us to enjoy. Thank God for Global Warming.
