… here’s your Goracle lie for the day.
Most of us with a modicum of common sense already know that Al Gore’s fictional film, An Inconvenient Truth, was full of crap. I call it fictional because that movie was so full of lies, manipulations, and, well, crap that there’s no way you could call it a documentary.
ABC news points out just how fake it actually was — they used computer generated images from the fictional movie The Day After Tomorrow. Newsbusters has the transcript:
SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) Wait a minute, that shot looks just like the one in the opening credits of ‘The Day After Tomorrow.”
KAREN GOULEKAS (VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR)
Yeah, that’s, that’s our shot. That’s a fully computer generated shot. There’s nothing real in there.
SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) Audiences expect Hollywood to twist fact into fiction. But Gore’s documentary does the opposite, using a fake shot to make a real point, that ice shelves are disappearing, and vanishing ice means global warming.
KAREN GOULEKAS (VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR)
That was one hell of a shot. I think it’s great that he used it.
SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) It seems the decision for now is left to the audience. Can the same created image educate and entertain us about our planet in change?
SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) And it raises another question for you to consider. Is it wrong for a documentary to use a fabricated Hollywood shot to make a point, even if there’s science behind it? Well, we tried to ask Al Gore and the movie studio, but neither responded to our calls.
Interestingly enough, this clip was cut from the video ABC posted on their website. Wonder why they felt they needed to do that.
Of course, if global warming wasn’t a huge scam, then the Goracle wouldn’t need to use fake Hollywood shots to push his point. If the science was accurate and reliable, he wouldn’t have to just make stuff up. But he’s got an agenda to push, dang it, and he’ll do whatever he needs to do! Who cares if the ice in Antarctica is actually thickening? Global warming is real, because Al Gore says it is!!
