Gore Sells Fiction!
"Politically Motivated"
A great little article from News Busters (props), it is basically (and there is audio as well in the story) the main CNN meteorologist saying Al Gore’s movie – “An Inconvenient Truth” – is a work of fiction. The question is how long will he have his job?
Great little blurb!
CNN Meteorologist Rob Marciano clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Finally," in response to a report that a British judge might ban the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" from
"There are definitely some inaccuracies," Marciano added. "The biggest thing I have a problem with is this implication that Katrina was caused by global warming."

Marciano went on to explain that, "global warming does not conclusively cause stronger hurricanes like we've seen," pointing out that "by the end of this century we might get about a 5 percent increase."
The case stems from a father's claims that the film is brainwashing propaganda, who told The Telegraph, "I am determined to prevent my children from being subjected to political spin in the classroom."
The Business and Media Institute has extensively critiqued the media's coverage of global warming in Fire & Ice, which covers a hundred years of coverage of global warming. While journalists have warned of climate change for more than 100 years, the warnings switched from global cooling to warming to cooling and warming again.
UPDATE: Marciano also sarcastically said, "the Oscars, they give out awards for fictional films as well."
