The Chicgo Sun-Times and Heartland
The Chicago Sun-Times recently ran a piece scathing Gore's claims (made mainly in both the film and book entitled 'An Inconvenient Truth').
The author, James M. Taylor, actually made up the quote he purportedly got from the paper on the Himalayas. He says that the scientists write: "'Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame.'" http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/450392,CST-EDT-REF30b.article

I wonder why he would have made up such a thing, and why he would have committed such a blatant, and obviously deliberate, journalistic falsehood. We ought to alert the original authors of the paper of this...
Thanks
Don't worry, be happy!
Seriously, though, how many more lies does this guy tell in this essay? Did Gore say there were more tornados? Etc.
