  Quote:” Al Gore was a liar, a serial exaggerator,”
  Seems accurate to me. For example:

  One day before Friday’s announcement that he was a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, a British High Court judge ruled that Gore’s global warming film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” while “broadly accurate,” contained nine significant errors.

  The ruling came on a challenge from a UK school official who did not want to show the film to students. High Court Judge Michael Burton said that the film is “substantially founded upon scientific research and fact” but that the errors were made in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration.”

  Burton found that screening the film in British secondary schools violated laws barring the promotion of partisan political views in the classroom. But he allowed the film to be shown on the condition that it is accompanied by guidance notes to balance Gore’s “one-sided” views, saying that the film’s “apocalyptic vision” was not an impartial analysis of climate change.

  The claim was originally filed by truck driver Stewart Dimmock, whose two children have not yet seen the film.

  “I got finished watching the documentary and felt I had watched a science fiction film,” he told ABC News’ Joseph J. Simonetti. “The court ruled nine inaccuracies. How many more exist?”
