Gores book

Former Vice-President Al Gore, in his book entitled, “An Inconvenient Truth”, made 10 predictions that were deemed to be exaggerations. The book was made into a movie and shown in schools though out the world. Gore was given the Noble Peace Prize for his efforts. When asked about the distortion of facts to achieve an objective he replied: “Nobody is interested in solutions if they don’t think there’s a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.” ~Al Gore I offer one example to illustrate the point. In his movie while showing scenes of severe flooding, the narrator says that sea level could rise 20 feet in a short period of time. Since 1992 satellites have measured sea level to unprecedented accuracy and these measurements show a rise of 3 mm per year which would be a rise of one foot in 100 years.
