Calling Associated Press Fact Checkers
The Associated Press hired 11 fact checkers to check the facts in the Sarah Palin book just released yesterday. Here is hoping that the AP will take the time to hire fact checkers for former Vice President Albert Gore’s latest book “Our Choice: A Plan To Solve the Climate Crisis” although that may not be necessary as one Florida State University professor has already destroyed the authors credibility.
FSU professor and hurricane expert Ryan Maue post the following on the website Watts Up With That And copied here from Newsbuster (bold, italic and images)
The cover opens and closes half and half – so you only see one hurricane…as in the press release photo or the one on Amazon.
But this is the real picture sequence from the book which I looked at Borders today and took cell-phone pictures, original (before the retouching by some “artist”) Note all of the Arctic ice and the size of the Florida Peninsula…
According to Maue, this is the full, unfolded cover:
Hey! Where’d Florida go?
With hurricane activity at 30-year lows, and Arctic ice levels on the rise, I guess Gore and Company figured they needed some help proving their point.
One has to wonder when Mr. Gore will begin to be held accountable for his scare tactics, false statements, and lack of credibility.
