Inconvenient Truth... Or A Convenient Fiction?
Global warming skeptic Steve Hayward has made a film called "An Inconvenient Truth... Or A Convenient Fiction". It's Hayward's own rebuttal to Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth", the first power-point presentation to ever win an Oscar (h/t Tom Cerber at The Politic).
Unlike Al Gore's film, A Convenient Truth is made up mostly of historical fact. Because of all the boring facts and lack of fear-mongering, it would not be a very marketable film, and therefore you won't be seeing it in theaters. Lucky for you, it can be viewed on the web at www.aconvenientfiction.com.
Steve Hayward is not a global warming denier. He beings a speech by saying "Much of what Vice President Gore says about climate change is correct. The planet is warming. Human beings are playing a substantial role in that warming." Where Hayward takes exception is in the ridiculous claims of a scientific "consensus", and that "the debate is closed".
A Convenient Fiction would sit somewhere between An Inconvenient Truth, and The Great Global Warming Swindle as far as balance goes. It's too bad that most of the people who've seen An Inconvenient Truth won't take the time to watch the other two films and hear the other side of the story.
