Quoting Andrew McGlashan (andrew.mcglashan@affinityvision.com.au):
Okay, well here's a Wikipedia entry for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Inconvenient_Truth...Or_Convenient_Fiction%...
It's just as well that you merely provide the URL and don't bother to demonstrate the merit of what the page covers, because, if you read the text therein, you will find one huge problem: Far-right political partisan Steven F. Hayward (who holds a position at pro-corporate think-tank American Enterprise Institute as 'resident scholar'[1]) _agrees_ with Mr. Gore that global warming is underway. His 55-minute documentary merely argues with many specific details Mr. Gore's book and film asserted, and attempts to establish that Gore has exaggerated the problem to some difficult-to-estimate degree. I'm not going to say that Hayward is speaking just as a mouthpiece for corporate business, but his approach parallels exactly what the tobacco industry attempted for some decades: caviling with scientific studies on alleged small inaccuracies in hopes of clouding the issue. Actually, what am I saying? Hayward has never been anything _but_ a mouthpiece for corporate business. Not that there's anything wrong with being a freelance PR flack, but let's be honest about who the man is and what his job is.
Scientists argue both sides regularly
This, too, resembles a ploy[2] the tobacco industry used to attempt to muddy the waters. They would deliberately ignore overwhelming scientific consensus and attempt to argue that the jury was still out about the health effects of tobacco, decades after the 1964 Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health that was the watershed in coalescing informed scientific opinion. The jury's pretty much in, Andrew. You would have had a reasonable point in 1990, but things change as we learn more. [1] Hayward has no background in climate or planetary science whatsoever, but rather in business administration and journalism. He's spent about 30 years being an ideological activist and author hawking political 'libertarianism', which in the USA context means extreme free-market laissez-faire capitalism leaning towards corporate welfare. [2] By contrast, by no means am I insinuating any bad faith on your part, I should hasten to add. You seem quite sincere, just more than a bit in denial long after the matter is no longer credibly disputed.
