Re: An Inconvient Truth -- Exaggeration by Gore?
[ QUOTE ]
Both sides of the global warming debate use lies and deception to make their cases [/ QUOTE ] Of course the same could be said for the "smoking causes cancer" debate [1] and the creationism versus evolution debate. It's a matter of degree, and it's clear which side is vastly more propagandistic. [1] Amazingly, as wacki has mentioned, we now have big tobacco linked to the global warming denial propaganda: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/21/bbc-global-warming/

"Linked to" is a little too gentle IMO.

[/ QUOTE ] Heh, yeah, well, sometimes I do play more gently than I really should. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] That video... http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/21/bbc-global-warming/ ...is an eye opener. It seems fitting that the global warming "skeptics" had their birth in the same people who testified that cigarettes don't cause cancer.
