- ...for his "supporters" to get their heads out of their asses?
- Al Gore feels the heat after global warming flub

Full Comment’s Araminta Wordsworth brings you a regular dose of international punditry at its finest. Al Gore is at it again. The man who claimed he was the father of the Internet has been predicting imminent doom and gloom at the climate change summit in Copenhagen.
The Arctic ice cap would be totally melted in seven years, declared the former U.S. politician, who was more or less canonized when his documentary on climate change An Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar and he received the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.
Most lies don’t get challenged immediately. But unfortunately for Gore, the scientist whose research he spun, left him out on a limb. Wieslaw Maslowski wondered how the figure had been arrived at and said he would never try to estimate the likelihood of anything as exact as that.
Gore’s office later admitted the 75% figure was one used by the climatologist as a ‘’ballpark figure’’ several years ago in a conversation with Gore.

What Use Is A Poll That Doesn't Support Your Position
- Kelly McParland: Suzuki Foundation polls finds Canadians overwhelming agree with Suzuki Foundation. Even in Alberta, where everyone hates the environment!

Here's a poll that says Canadians are embarrassed that we're not leading the international charge against global warming.
On the eve of major UN climate change talks next month in Copenhagen, a major survey of Canadians has found that more than three quarters of the public feel embarrassed that the country hasn't been taking a leadership role on reducing greenhouse-gas emissions....
Even in Alberta, 65 per cent of respondents agreed with a statement that “it's embarrassing that we are not doing more to curb emissions.” Support for the view favouring more action was highest in Quebec, at 86 per cent.
Oh, gee look ... the head of the firm compiling the survey is also head of the Suzuki Foundation. And guess what .. he was doing the survey on behalf of, among others ... the Suzuki Foundation!
Now there's a credible survey. An organization heavily involved in environmental lobbying organizes a survey by one of its own leading members, that just happens to produce a result that precisely matches the position the organization had hoped for. What a stroke of luck!
