Dr. Robert C. Balling Jr. wrote up a list of truths at TCS that were too inconvenient for AlGore to include in his enviro-scare tactic movie, “An Inconvenient Truth”
Here are a couple:
(2) Gore discusses glacial and snowpack retreats atop Kenya’s Mt. Kilimanjaro, implying that human induced global warming is to blame. But Gore fails to mention that the snows of Kilimanjaro have been retreating for more than 100 years, largely due to declining atmospheric moisture, not global warming. Gore does not acknowledge the two major articles on the subject published in 2004 in the International Journal of Climatology and the Journal of Geophysical Research showing that modern glacier retreat on Kilimanjaro was initiated by a reduction in precipitation at the end of the nineteenth century and not by local or global warming.
(5) Gore claims that sea level rise could drown the Pacific islands, Florida, major cities the world over, and the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. No mention is made of the fact that sea level has been rising at a rate of 1.8 mm per year for the past 8,000 years; the IPCC notes that “No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.”
Keep this list nearby. As the movie’s premier nears, the enviro-cultists will start wailing like they probably never have before. Not that they’ll listen, but I’m sure that the non-true believing, fence-sitters will.

And while we’re on the subject of lists, on Monday Rodger re-posted something from last November that he called “What Democrats Said, And When They Said It”.
I reads like, well, a list of remarks made by leading Democrats from 1998 to up to 11/05 that shows them to be complete hypocrites today.
Read it, learn it, know it.
Use it.
