Accuracy of Gore Documentary Debated by Experts

Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize speech in Norway, courtesy of Wikipedia.


I saw this article today in ScienceDaily, which is titled "Scientists Debate the Accuracy of Al Gore's Documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth'. ScienceDaily takes a look at several articles just published online in Springer's journal, GeoJournal that are written by climate experts who express their opinions on the scientific validity of the film's claim.

The experts generally agree on the following (from ScienceDaily)....

--The documentary does an excellent job of raising public awareness to man-made global warming.

--The main weakness of the documentary is that it tries to use individual extreme events, such as hurricane Katrina to prove the existence of global warming.

You can read a brief summary of the opinions from each of the six experts right here in the ScienceDaily article.
