An Inconvenient Fake

What a tool!

You ever see the movie "The Day After Tomorrow?" There's a scene of an ice shelf falling into the sea, all very dramatic. If you've seen "An Inconvenient Truth," you saw that same scene in that movie as well.

The interesting part, IT WAS COMPUTER GENERATED.

Gore Used Fictional Video to Illustrate ‘Inconvenient Truth’

From the article:

...

On Friday, it was revealed by ABC News that one of the famous shots of supposed Antarctic ice shelves in the film was actually a computer-generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow."

Adding delicious insult to injury, this was presented by one of ABC's foremost global warming alarmists Sam Champion during Friday's "20/20":

SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) Al Gore's 2006 documentary, 'An Inconvenient Truth," makes the same point with actual video of ice shelves calving. Which shots have more impact?

AL GORE (FORMER UNITED STATES VICE PRESIDENT)
And if you were flying over it in a helicopter, you'd see it's 700 feet tall. They are so majestic.

SAM CHAMPION (ABC NEWS)
(Voiceover) Wait a minute, that shot looks just like the one in the opening credits of "The Day After Tomorrow."

KAREN GOULEKAS (VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERVISOR)
Yeah, that's, that's our shot. That's a fully computer generated shot. There's nothing real in there.

Entire story is at link above...

"That's a fully computer generated shot. There's nothing real in there."

NOTHING REAL IN THERE!!!!!!

Nothing like a little artistic creativity to add impact to your stupid documentary.

And this got him the Nobel Prize.

I just wonder if they had permission to use the shot.
