Al Gore 1, New York Times 0

William Broad’s critique of An Inconvenient Truth as mistake filled has far more mistakes in it than Gore’s movie. RealClimate and Grist set the record straight.

    There’s also the fact that this article quotes from Roger Pielke Jr. who has been cavorting with the Republican party.

    The Associated Press reported that the Republicans have been inviting Roger Pielke Jr. to testify at congressional hearings He seems to be their man in academia

    Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado who was invited by GOP lawmakers, said, “The reality is that science and politics are intermixed.”

    And then there’s Roger Pielke Jr.’s rather curious article that he wrote for the Cato Institute’s Regulation Magazine, for which he was paid a tidy sum.

    The notion that Al Gore wins over this article in the NY Times is ridiculous. The vast, vast majority of people who read this article are not going to go to RealClimate or Grist to see if there are any corrections. To their minds the NY Times article is the last word. Gore has been wounded by this article (and by revelations of his energy-hogging ways), and he will have to work very hard to recover, if that is even possible.

    What is bewildering to me is the extent to which a number of people who identify as right-wing loathe and despite Al Gore. I’ve visited Web sites that are entirely devoted to mocking Gore, putting Photoshopped photos of him behind the wheel of Hummers and raving about business activitites in which he engaged more than ten years ago. What is it about him that gets their goat?
