The interesting thing about the AP article is that much of what was said
was in the form of quotes rather than words that had been jiggled about.

As I pointed out in the two examples I gave, quotes can often bear
little or no relationship to what was actually said. I've also seen
articles based on press statements that have been so mangled that they
also bear no relevance to the original statement.

But, on the other hand, no specific reason has been advanced to doubt
the provenance of the information in that particular AP article.

That article was correct. It is backed up in a book both I and Graham have read, "Losing Earth: The Decade We Could Have Stopped Climate Change", by Nathaniel Rich, 20119.

Thanks for confirming the article was correctly founded - it means we
can put an end to the 'mis-reporting by the media' line of argument that
was initially used to cast doubt on it.

If we had taken action in 1980 and 1990 we could have prevented the disasters that have only just begun, with record temperatures, floods, and wildfire spreading throughout the world, not to mention the immigration crises affecting both Europe and the USA, and sea level rise accelerating.

i thought the lag in Al Gore's day was 800 years rather than the 30 to
40 you suggest - but didn't he have the graph the wrong way round, with
temperature rise following the CO2 rise? The Vostock ice-cores confirmed
that CO2 lags temperature rather than leading it.


Al gores movie should have been called 'a most convenient lie'
There was so much bad science and plain wrong science in it that it was
a glaring indication that what was going on was not a dangerous truth
being revealed but a very nasty agenda...

And there you have it, when you catch out the Establishment lying to
you, and you know they are lying to you, and you know they know they are
lying to you, its pretty scary.

Like I said, the day they abandon air travel, sell their beachfront
properties and agitate to build and all nuclear gird is the day I will
believe them.

They know however that they are lying and therefore there is no need.
