THE WINGNUT TIMES OF LONDON

I've noted before that the Times seems to be turning into a print version of FAUX News and here's a little more evidence for that claim. In an article about a British judge's findings about Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth," the headline is "Al Gore’s inconvenient judgment," yet that is misleading.

The lede states "Al Gore’s award-winning climate change documentary was littered with nine inconvenient untruths, a judge ruled yesterday" and would naturally give a casual reader the impression that Gore's documentary was hooey.

It's not until the 18th thru 20th paragraphs, at the very end of the article, that we find this:

Despite finding nine significant errors the judge said many of the claims made by the film were fully backed up by the weight of science. He identified “four main scientific hypotheses, each of which is very well supported by research published in respected, peer-reviewed journals and accords with the latest conclusions of the IPCC”.

In particular, he agreed with the main thrust of Mr Gore’s arguments: “That climate change is mainly attributable to man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide (‘greenhouse gases’).”

The other three main points accepted by the judge were that global temperatures are rising and are likely to continue to rise, that climate change will cause serious damage if left unchecked, and that it is entirely possible for governments and individuals to reduce its impacts.
