Scientists OK Gore's movie for accuracy

The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.

The former vice president's movie — replete with the prospect of a flooded New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets — mostly got the science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.

This is interesting, because the British Courts didn't - insofaras there was no evidence to back-up 9 of his claims.

(eg. down in NZ, I'm still waiting to see the climate change refugees that he claimed were fleeing here ;))

"19 climate scientists?" No other source than that?

Sorry, but it takes more than a few of Gore's buddies backing him up for me to agree that his claims on climate change are accurate.

I agree, there isn't much behind Gores movie, but the science behind human induced GW is comprehensive.
