→Climategate Fraud: updates
===Climategate Fraud===
===Climategate Fraud===
Al Gore's "[[schlockumentary]]," ''[[An Inconvenient Truth]]'', is perhaps the earliest known Climategate fraud and most widely known global warming hoax. The film was designed to promote fear of global warming with false claims, [[junk science]], and digitally enhanced lies, proclaiming the end of the world. During Al Gore's promotional efforts for his film and to raise alarm on the effects of global warming, he boldly predicted we have ten years to doom.<ref>[[Rush Limbaugh]]. [http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/free_estack_pages/algore10yearstodoom.guest.html Algore: We Have Ten Years Left Before Earth Cooks], RushLimbaugh.com, January 27, 2006.</ref> At the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, [[Larry David]] commented on Gore's promotional efforts to raise awareness about his schlockumentary and said, "You know, Al is a funny guy, but he's also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan."
''An Inconvenient Truth'' inspired fear using junk science; Gore spread [[alarmist]] [[propaganda]] and claimed burning fossil fuels such as [[coal]], [[gas]] and [[oil]] have dramatically increased the Earth's temperatures. Scientific inaccuracies in the film were enhanced with [[Hollywood]] special effects, as a deceptive tactic, to spread fear of doom on his one-sided account of the anthropogenic global warming theory. Most notably, Al Gore created a scene in his movie that shows the [[Antarctic]] ice shelf breaking up and virtually disintegrating, supposedly providing visual evidence to back up his claim that glaciers are melting. The problem is that it wasn't real ice melting. It was styrofoam.<ref>[http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2005744/posts Al Gore Fakes It], ''Free Republic'', April 23, 2008.</ref> ''[[ABC News]]'' reported Al Gore also took footage of digitally enhanced melting ice from the fictional movie, ''The Day After Tomorrow'', and then used it in his schlockumentary. The real truth behind this hoax is ideology, motivated by money and power.<ref>Steve Rowitt, Th.M., Ph.D. [http://www.creationstudies.org/operationsalt/global_warming_hoax.html Global Warming: The Biggest Hoax of the 21st Century], creationstudies.org, (2010).</ref><ref>Cliff Mason.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in its 2007 benchmark report that even a slight change in rainfall could see swathes of the rain forest rapidly replaced by savanna grassland. However, Climategate forced the United Nations climate watchdog to admit intentionally publishing false claims; the IPCC claims about melting ice in the [[Alps]], the [[Andes]], and in [[Africa]] did not come from [[peer review|peer reviewed]] scientific literature—but from ''Climbing Magazine'', and from a student dissertation—written by a [[climate change]] [[activist]] who was studying for a degree in [[Geography]].<ref>[[Glenn Beck]].

In 2010, as the East Coast of the United States was hammered by strong winter storms of snow and ice, [[President Obama]] claimed this as further evidence of global warming. The president of the United States ignored facts to push a political agenda. Obama lied about global warming when he said the following.
{{cquote|We just got five feet of snow in Washington and so everybody is like, a lot of people who are opponents of climate change, they say, 'See, look at that, there's all that snow on the ground, you know, this doesn't mean anything.' I want to just be clear that the science of climate change doesn't mean that every place is getting warmer. It means the planet as a whole is getting warmer. As the planet as a whole gets warmer you start seeing changing weather patterns. And that creates more violent storm systems, more unpredictable weather, so any single place might end up being warmer. Another place might end up being a little bit cooler, there might end up being more precipitation in the air, more monsoons, more hurricanes, more tornadoes.<ref>[[Rush Limbaugh]].
