Gore got it right

Though corporate hacks are trying the "big noise" theory in attacking Al Gore and his presentation on global warming portrayed in the movie "An Inconvenient Truth," the press is doing a good job of cutting through the haze and treating the movie fairly. The AP contacted 100 climitologists considered the tops in the field (including those critical of Gore) and asked their opinion of the facts in the movie. The 19 who've seen the movie and responded gave Gore high marks, even while pointing out small factual errors or oversimplifications. Here's a link to the full story.

Plus, the press is pretty good at exposing the oil company hacks such as S. Fred Singer, who lies about his ties to big oil. They are actually researching these guys' backgrounds and telling it like it is. Maybe the press is indeed getting their teeth back.
