- The debate is NOT over. Gore and others claim the debate is over due to a “consensus” of scientists. “The scientific consensus is clearly expressed in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).” (Naomi Oreskes, Washington Post) Ignoring the glaring “GOVERNMENTAL” part of the panel, the report is said to be a consensus of scientists because of the thousands of scientists names on the report. The problem is THEY DIDN’T SIGN IT. They were simply existing members of the “panel” and so their names were attached. Many scientists protested saying they didnt agree, and were ignored. Many left the “panel” and one sued to have his name removed. Oh, and the 3,000 panel members aren’t all scientists. Many are political appointees.
- Warming CAUSES the rise in CO2. Al Gore’s movie simply shows the correlation and implies that CO2 is the cause of the warming. His own graph shows that the CO2 follows the temperature 100 years later.

- The correlation between earth temperature and SUN ACTIVITY is stronger than the correlation between earth temperature and CO2 levels.

- CO2 levels were more than 10 TIMES what they are now during an ice age that caused mass extinction. Gore’s movie only covers the last 650,000 years. Junkscience.com - “Given that the late Ordovician suffered an ice age (with associated mass extinction) while atmospheric CO₂ levels were more than 4,000ppm higher than those of today (yes, that’s a full order of magnitude higher), levels at which current ‘guesstimations’ of climate sensitivity to atmospheric CO₂ suggest every last skerrick of ice should have been melted off the planet, we admit significant scepticism over simplistic claims of small increment in atmospheric CO₂ equating to toasted planet.”

- The IPCC put all their scientist-members’ signatures on their report, and many of the scientists resigned when the Intergovernmental panel refused to remove their names.
