More trouble for his Eminence, the Reverend AlGore: IPCC scientists themselves are now challenging his view of a global warming concensus. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was the main source for material in AlGore's movie, but the expert reviews and comments on the IPCC document, which were released two days ago, are harshly critical of claims contained in the document; noting among other things a "...confusion between hypothesis and evidence...".
In other words, despite the claims of The Reverend AlGore and other hysterics, much of their alarm is attributable to hypotheses, rather than fact. This, of course, calls into question the fundamental underpinning of AlGore's arguments - namely, the so-called "concensus" that he so often touts. It also explains in large degree the adamant refusal of The Reverend to accept any of the numerous calls for open debate in regard to various aspects of his theology.
Although as noted elsewhere, glaciers are actually growing in various parts of the world, alarmists focus upon the present retreat of glaciers in Greenland as evidence that some sort of catastrophe is now underway. Unmentioned by the alarmists is the fact that as the Greenland glaciers have retreated, they have revealed farms. More tellingly, when this fact is mentioned, they clam up. An incovenient truth, for them, is the fact that Greenland was so named because of its fertile soils, and Vikings farmed there successfully until their farms were swallowed up by rapidly-advancing glacial ice. UPDATE: Even some in the mainstream media are now openly questioning the tenets of The Reverend AlGore's religion. Coyote, at NWRepublican, also adds perspective.
