An inconvenient blog

Our friend Pat Cleary at the National Association of Manufacturers was astonished to find his Shop Floor blog included in the links provided by Al Gore’s blog, which touts his new film on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Pat devotes a section of his blog to debunking arguments by the likes of Gore about global warming.

Was the inventor of the internet trying to be fair and balanced? Pat doubts it, inasmuch as his was the only dissenting voice on Gore’s blog.

Meanwhile a new analysis by the National Center for Policy Analysis (not among Al’s links) contends that the science behind Gore’s film is “fatally flawed.” The study’s author, David Legates, director of the University of Delaware’s Center for Climataic Research, concludes that “science does not supprt claims of drastic increases in global temperatures, nor claims of human influence on weather events or extinctions.”
