Al's Oscar-winner An Inconvenient Truth was prone to "alarmism and exaggeration" and identified nine major factual errors, ruled Michael Burton, an English High Court judge. His Honour was examining the vice-president's acclaimed crockumentary because the British Government, in its wisdom, has decided to force-feed it to hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren. It would be nice to think it would have to be preceded by a warning that any resemblance between this film and any actual planet living or dead is entirely coincidental, but it seems more likely that the Nobel Peace imprimatur will completely insulate the picture from even the most modest quibbles. "The Armageddon scenario he predicts is not in line with the scientific consensus."
I'll say. The scientific consensus of the IPCC suggests rising sea levels across the next century of somewhere between 15 and 60cm, with about 30cm being most likely. An Inconvenient Truth insouciantly adds a zero to the worst-case scenario.

What's funny is any one who doesn't buy this fetid load is now "frustrated" and just "agitated" because he won the Nobel that really lost its esteem many years ago.
This wavers between hilarious and a little dismaying - regarding the brainwashing.
