With An Inconvenient Truth, the companion book to former Vice President Al Gore's global-warming movie, currently number nine in Amazon sales rank, this is a good time to point out that the book, which is a largely pictorial representation of the movie's graphical presentation, exaggerates the evidence surrounding global warming. Ironically, the former Vice President leaves out many truths that are inconvenient for his argument. Here are just 25 of them.

Before you read that article, scroll down to the bottom. Read the name of the author's employer. Visit their web site and check out their videos. Then decide how seriously to take the article.

Wake me up when you find an article like this written by someone who isn't paid to have an anti-global-warming opinion.

    Personal attacks are an emotional tactic that do not invalidate the arguments of the person you're attacking. They merely promote ignorance by suggesting that everyone close their ears and sing "La-la-la" when that person speaks.

      Yes, don't even bother to read the article. Why examine it on its merits?

      "I don't want to know about it; I don't choose to discuss it; I don't admit it!" Mr Podsnap had even acquired a peculiar flourish of his right arm in often clearing the world of its most difficult problems, by sweeping them behind him (and consequently sheer away) with those words and a flushed face. For they affronted him.

      Whisht! Do it again!
