Here is a summary of the factual errors in Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" movie. The Academy Awards and the Noble Committee are not much impressed by the errors. People who don't agree with the conventional wisdom are "in the dark" according to CNN.

According to this article, I made a mistake when I reported that the Northwest Passage was open in 1902. Actually Amundsen went through the Northwest Passage in a sailboat in 1903 according to this article. I'm old, so my memory is not always good.

For those who don't know, Al Gore's company that sells carbon offsets is Generation Investment Management. I've seen estimates that this company will make Gore a billionaire. That's good since he has only made $200 million since he left office in 2001. When Gore accuses oil companies of being "deniers" to line their pockets, does he reveal his financial interest in the CO2 induced global warming hypothesis?

Carbon offsets are one of the stupidist ideas I have ever heard. The implementation will do nothing to reduce CO2 generation, but will result in enormous transfer of wealth from industrialized nations to third world countries, and especially to countries that were part of the Soviet Union. It will also make rent seekers like Gore, along with GE, Duke Power, and others very rich.
