[More from climate fraud promoter Andy Revkin]

You can watch McAleer’s version of events here in what the NYT’s Andy Revkin (who was there) describes as a “whiny video.” But while McAleer’s a clever filmaker, he’s a bad liar. He asserts of Gore, “He never takes questions.” Not.

As Gore spokesperson Kalee Kreider shared with me, “in addition to his appearance at SEJ” and the Bloomberg event, Gore had a “press conference (with Q and A) on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at the United Nations.” So that would be 3 major appearances with Gore taking questions from the media over three weeks.

...[NYT’s Andy Revkin] emailed me and bloggers that “drudge is promoting whiny video by gore critic” and points out how laughable it is to accuse him of trying to shield Gore from tough questions, tweeting:

Amused that filmmaker http://j.mp/sejGore alleges I was shielding Al Gore at http://www.sej.org sessions. Me? http://bit.ly/nytYellingFire

No one deserves to be harangued in a Q&A, let alone harangued by a liar, especially someone like former VP Al Gore, who is willing to make himself so open to questions from real journalists.

Update – Revkin writes:

Amazed at the chutzpah (and promotional skill) of a filmmaker who claims the Society of Environmental Journalists cut off his microphone during Al Gore Q&A “to protect a politician.” As the moderator of this talk, it was clear to me organizers did so to protect the rights of journalists (those standing in line still waiting to ask a single question, as he did.
