Replicating Al Gore’s Climate 101 video experiment shows that his “high school physics” could never work as advertised | Watts Up With That?
Mr. Gore’s Climate 101 experiment is falsified, and could not work given the equipment he specified. If they actually tried to perform the experiment themselves, perhaps this is why they had to resort to stagecraft in the studio to fake the temperature rise on the split screen thermometers.

The experiment as presented by Al Gore and Bill Nye “the science guy” is a failure, and not representative of the greenhouse effect related to CO2 in our atmosphere. The video as presented, is not only faked in post production, the premise is also false and could never work with the equipment they demonstrated. Even with superior measurement equipment it doesn’t work, but more importantly, it couldn’t work as advertised.

[Scott Brophy, philosophy professor] As the gap between public opinion about climate change and the incontrovertible facts continues to be so much wider in America than in any other developed nation, I have been reading a lot of work in the relatively new field of “climate communication.” Roughly one out two Americans is thoroughly disconnected from our impending global disaster. I wonder if they are the same folks who don’t believe the basic tenets of biology
Is Man-Made Global Warming The New Original Sin? | Hanging Gardens of Babylon
I’m raising this question because I wonder if our consensual reality has to make us the Fall guy for something now that the Original Sin of religious thinking has been mainly debunked. If we zoom out a bit, to see how the prevailing view that global warming is man-made came about, we can apply a little more independent critical thought to the issue.
