===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]].

''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.
