AP INCORRECTLY CLAIMS SCIENTISTS PRAISE GORE’S MOVIE

And this is from the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

For any Standing Committee of the US Senate to criticize a major wire service report is highly unusual--in fact, unprecedented, as far as I can remember. At issue is this report from the AP, claiming that a number of scientists had given Al Gore's latest documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, "five stars for accuracy."

In response, the Environment and Public Works Committee slams Gore for some of the most outrageous claims he has made--and slams the AP even harder for letting Gore take them in on those and other claims.

Finally the Republican majority in the Senate (and better yet, one of its key committees) exposes environmentalistic "junk science" for what it is. The press release even gives some links. (Unhappily, none of them are "hot"; you'll have to paste them into your browser's "Go" field yourself.)
