...lost his bid for the presidency in 2000 to George W. Bush. While Gore’s fan base is large, some have been sharply critical of his work. Justice Barton, a British high court judge, recently ruled that “An Inconvenient Truth” cannot be shown in schools unless accompanied by materials explaining the film’s inaccuracies. “It is easy for people to misrepresent the former vice president,” McCarthy said. “But people who don’t like his message must remember that climate...
Much has changed since that dark moment in history, but modern Turkey, beholden as it is to the Young Turk perpetrators and in spite of the light of historical perspective, still refuses to admit the taint on its history and clings to dramatic understatements of the death toll. Turkey cannot continue to deliberately avoid dealing with the disturbing facts of its history.

Strawberries, raspberries, and apples also taste amazing when eaten fresh from the plants, and it’s not hard to find farms that invite visitors to take part in the picking process.For those...
...that's the point. Gore and the IPCC have been prophets of doom, laying out the threat of climate change for any who would listen. We cannot claim that we were never warned, and the message has sunk in for even the most recalcitrant listeners - witness President George W. Bush's White House summit on climate change last month. That success is a triumph for the rational scientific thinking that motivates both Gore and the IPCC. It's the idea that if we simply marshal enough facts, enough data, enough PowerPoint slides, and present them to the world, the will...
