The Goracle II


I read another great article on the Goracle titled Gore the Preacher Man that I thought was great and I highly recommend. In the article, Michael Barone goes though to point out how Al Gore exaggerates from articles that he quotes. An example is as follows:
“Gore foresees a 20-foot rise in sea level — 240 inches. The IPCC panel report foresees a maximum of 23 inches. Gore says that ‘our civilization has never experienced any environmental shift remotely similar to this.’ Geologist Don Easterbrook says there have been shifts up to ‘20 times greater than the warming in the past century.’”
