Fake Photo
Well, this is from our old buddies at NewsBusters.org. "It goes without saying that climate realists around the
world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false information throughout his schlockumentary An Inconvenient Truth
in order to generate global warming hysteria. 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," the weather guy, "during Friday's '20/20'." This is Sam Champion speaking: "Al Gore's 2006
documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, makes the same point with actual video of ice shelves calving. Which shots
have more impact?" and then they cut to the movie, and there's Algore saying: "And if you were flying over it in a
helicopter, you'd see it's 700 feet tall. They are so majestic." Then Sam Champion from ABC News narrates. He says,
"Wait a minute, that shot looks just like the one in the opening credits of The Day After Tomorrow," and Karen
Goulekas, visual effects supervisor from the movie, says, "Yeah, that's, that's our shot. That's a fully
computer-generated shot. There's nothing real in there." Sam Champion: "Audiences expect Hollywood to twist fact
into fiction. But Gore's documentary does the opposite, using a fake shot," a computer-generated shot, "to make a
real point, that ice shelves are disappearing, and vanishing ice means global warming."
