4. Scientists praising Gore's docu for accuracy
Drudge also links to a Frist site that says the AP ignored scientists who think Gore's movie is full of it. Which I'm sure you will happily ignore.

I don't usually go to his site, but I did it for you.

6. Link - Scientists say Gore movie accurate
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 10:05 AM by greenman3610
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/27/AR2006062700780.html

WASHINGTON -- 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.

8. Thank you for the link. This one paragrah is frightening...
<snip>While some nonscientists could be depressed by the dire disaster-laden warmer world scenario that Gore laid out, one top researcher thought it was too optimistic. Tom Wigley, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, thought the former vice president sugarcoated the problem by saying that with already-available technologies and changes in habit _ such as changing light bulbs _ the world could help slow or stop global warming.

:scared: Yikes! I PRAY it's not too late!:scared:

9. This is because he knows his audience has been trained ...
... to distrust scientists as much as they distrust journailsts. The headline could have been titled "WIRE: Socialist Jihadists OK Gore's movie for accuracy..." and it would get the same reaction from the Drudge fans.
