Why? Because what Gore&#8217;s &#8220;majority of scientists&#8221; think is immaterial when only a very small fraction of them actually work in the climate field. <\/p>\n<p>. . . <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadafreepress.com\/2006\/harris061206.htm\">more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada Free Press Tom Harris June 12, 2006 &#8220;The Inconvenient Truth&#8221; is indeed inconvenient to alarmists &#8220;Scientists have an independent obligation to respect and present the truth as they see it,&#8221; Al Gore sensibly asserts in his film &#8220;An Inconvenient Truth&#8221;, showing at Cumberland 4 Cinemas in Toronto since Jun 2.
