Yes ,his academy should be rescinded ,and the NPP as well !

I guess I should feel encouraged that anyone from Hollywood is even having this discussion, but I am unconvinced that Hollywood and Members of the Academy have high enough standards to do anything about the deception in "An Inconvenient Truth." It's like asking the Nobel Prize Committee to rethink Obama's Nobel Prize!

[PeterJay0705]

what has that got to do with anything? And you are about as much right wing as Obama is

"katrina could not have happened 100 years ago"'.... Really? Best goggle "galveston September 8, 1900". Approx 6,000 people dead. Galveston pretty much wiped off the map. Though you write like a pragmatist in the main, you still seem to have drank at least a little of the Al Gore Kool-aid with your statement.

But the climate has been changing since time began. Its in constant flux. The little ice age began before the industrial era began and has been ending for 100's of yrs. during the 70s there was global cooling blamed on the same as warming is. Probably many things before that. . .

The only reason why Katrina got so much publicity like it did was because they built New Orleans below Sea Level!!

[glennimmortal]

most people already know whats fake in the film, where have you been? search the great global warming swindle

[Ramsez]

climate change is more apropriate. the climate IS changing, noone can deny that. katrina could not have happened 100 years ago. of course, to climate used to be alot hotter then it is now, but the climate as it know in the last few centuries is changing. whether this is our fault or not, is another question, seeing as the ice caps on mars are also melting.

[Ramsez]

they never say what parts in the movie are fake, and the fat guy needs to smoke less.

@darlena1956 Why? Because Frank Luntz suggested that GW Bush start using "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming", that's why.

Global Warming causes Climate Change. Climate is where you are.
