Al Gore has created tons of carbon emissions jetting around the globe to promote his global warming propaganda piece An Inconvenient Truth. This past week, the self proclaimed guru of global warming, delivered a speech at the Society of Environmental Journalist Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. In a rare event the former VP decided to field questions from those in attendance. During the course of the question-answer segment, Mr. Gore was apparently asked an "Inconvenient Question."
One of the questions posed to the former VP was made by Phelim McAleer a journalist from the organization Not Evil Just Wrong. McAleer, proceeded to question Mr. Gore about the British court case that determined that his video consisted of nine (9) SIGNIFICANT ERRORS. The questioner went on to ask the former presidential candidate if he had done anything to correct the errors in lieu of the fact that his video was being shown to school age children throughout the U.S., Gore refused to respond to the question, and immediately, the microphone in which McAleer was using, was turned off.
The thing that I find incredible about this incident is the fact that a journalist was openly silenced during a journalism conference. One of the major themes during the conference was the question "Why is mainstream journalism dying?"
It appears that those in attendance were finally able to find the answer to that question.
