From Al Gore’s Journal:
Denialists in Denial April 27, 2010 : 4:52 PM
Last week The Wall Street Journal published a ridiculous op-ed titled “Climate Science in Denial” claiming that “global warming alarmists have been discredited, but you wouldn’t know it from the rhetoric this Earth Day.”
Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic does an exceptional job dismantling this ridiculous claim:
“Actually, the subhead should be revised: “Global warming denialists have been re-discredited, but you wouldn’t know it from the rhetoric in today’s Wall Street Journal.” Far be it from me, a non-scientist, to dispute the scientific expertise of an MIT professor of meteorology, Richard Lindzen, but then again, Lindzen’s selective recitation of the litany of arguments against global warming practically begs a rebuttal.”
“First, he mentions “Climate Gate” — those e-mails from the Climate Research Unit from the University of East Anglia. He suggests that the e-mails show “unambiguous evidence of the unethical suppression of information and opposing viewpoints, and even data manipulation.””
“The e-mails were actually quite ambiguous and contained evidence of churlishness and defensiveness from scientists whose data had long been under attack from climate denialists.”
Much of the media has done a particularly bad job covering the climate crisis. Instead of informing the public about the facts, they have treated the issue as if the same political divisions they exuberantly cover also exist in the scientific community. They don’t.

Hmmm, well Al Baby, here’s something to deny:
Do you think many people are reading your message on algore.com?

Well, I took Anthony’s Alexa Rating graph forwards, viz:
WUWT is the top of the heap, twice as good as the one in second place. (Sc) means a sceptical site, (Mid) is middle of the road, and (AGW) is AGW supporters. And Al? Well, at least he beat Tamino …
The ClimateGate emails are just as damaging to AGW & Company as the Goldman-Sachs emails.
Flip on the news, and if you’ve read the ClimateGate emails, you’ve heard the Goldman-Sachs emails.
I second the call for a debate between Al Gore and Richard Lindzen. It would be epic to watch Gore get dismantled and shown for the charlatan that he is.
Yeah Al, and I was digging through your site and found a link to your “Current TV” under “Al’s Projects”. Evidently this is one of your top scientific “fact” stories for today…
Noah’s Ark Found!
I especially like the part about the Marine Engine Label plaque listing 1347 HP and the 1347 horses they found. Is this why your acts so weird in respect of science?
Maybe there are some hanging chads that haven’t been counted in the website rankings.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
Deny your right foot in,
Deny your right foot out.
Do the hokey pokey; all fossils in a rout.
Deny your left foot in,
Deny your left foot out.
And that’s all it’s all whatabout.
=================
When Gore stops flying his private jet, call me. Until then, global warming is a farce.
MODS: In the story, the last paragraph before the dashed line and Anthony’s comment should be inside quotation marks.
REPLY: no, that’s exactly as written on Gore’s website -A
Alarmists are in alarm.
Far be it for me to dispute something with the inventor of the internet and world class climate parasite. I think Gore is going to be rather sad that everything he has ever posted on the internet will effectively live forever. He will have a great deal of trouble recasting the lies, aspersions, misleading hype and mendacity that is the hallmark of his life’s work as anything other than what it is.
Well, I took Anthony’s Alexa Rating graph forwards, viz:

Don’t deny us deniers denying that denialists are in denial.
I find these statistics interesting….

Only 14% of Gore’s web traffic comes from the US.
Almost 50% comes from the UK.
Hey Al…. do us a favor. Go to the UK and leave America alone. We will do just fine without you.
Dear Al
When I read things like this I understand why you got a C and a D in the two kiddy science courses you did take. Grade inflation.
Sorry Al the Climategate emails show lousy scientific method and very doubtful integrity. The relesased computer code shows that the CRU was doing mighty low quality work and that their “historic climate record” was fudged. In other words “not science”. Most of the “warming” is doubtful which means the wildly overstated models don’t even fit the past anymore.
Re: Jim @ur momisugly 5:14 “Where is Algore?” according to the Gore effect he must be in Vermont Or upstate New York We are expecting 18″ of snow tonight and tomorrow.
Al, Al, Al…
You poor fool.
And then I read the Der Spiegel article and the German politicians were saying the world would be unlivable if the temperature rose 2 degrees.
What earnest fools these politicians be.
Hmmm – if you turn the Alexa graph a bit less than 90º anticlockwise it kind of resembles a hockey stick. Coincidence?
Today my intrepid cat, Killowatt, almost got Fat Albert, the gluttonous dove, who hangs out under the birdfeeder hogging all the spilled seed. Killowatt got a claw in him [or her?] and ripped out a few feathers. One day soon Killowat will gut Fat Albert. I hope I’m watching!

Al gore gets 100,000 hits a day? Nope, I read it again.
I checked Alexa, and that’s Al Gore.com’s ranking.
So Al Baby gets 189,000 rank, and WattsUpWith That ranks 15,500 or
a full dozen times better than Al.
Clearly Alexa ranking is not a direct measure of the quality of a site – HuffingtonPost.com is ranked 161, metoffice.gov.uk is ranked 4,287, and TreeHugger.com is ranked 2,679.
Watts Up With That? is more fun.
Although I haven’t looked at Alexa.com for a few years – it’s interesting to see which sites are popular these days…

Very Good graph! 🙂
WUWT is not in the top 100 yet. “……and miles to go before I rest….and miles to go before I rest…”
😉
You had to break through the bottom of the scale to get to Tamino.
😉
Speak of ‘Al baby’, did anyone see Glenn Beck last night?
Follow the money to another stock market bubble!
It is surprising that a fun site like WUWT would beat out Tamino, with all of his interesting statistics discussion. Romm gets an audience by raving like a street corner prophet of doom.

The UK is cold enough without the Gore Effect! How about the Sahara? Or Mexico. Actually, I hear is is going to Mexico – watch out for blizzards!
Sad to see Icecap getting less traffic than the criminAL.
It’s actually a very good site, though often quite technical and difficult for the layman.
C’mon, people. Give Icecap some love.
