9 GORES claim that global warming is already causing reefs to die and species to become extinct at a rate 1000 times greater was at odds with the mainstream science, which said this could happen, and not that it had.

8 GORES claim that global warming caused Hurricane Katrina had insufficient evidence.

7 GORES claim that global warming was causing polar bears to drown was backed by no study, other than one that noted that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm, which plainly does not support Mr Gores description.

6 GORES claim that global warming was drying Lake Chad was not backed by the evidence, and the drying was far more likely to result from other factors, such as population increase and over-grazing, and regional climate variability.

5 GORES claim that global warming was melting the snows of Kilimanjaro cannot be established.

4 GORES claim that past warming had been caused by rising carbon dioxide was based on two graphs (which) do not establish what Mr Gore asserts.

3 GORES claim that the Ocean Conveyor that warms Europes winds could shut, icing the continent, was very unlikely.
