A fine powerpoint presentation, but it is not a movie

Warning: Spoilers
This is the powerpoint presentation that made Al Gore famous again. But that is what it is: a powerpoint presentation. Nothing more. It does not deserve an Oscar or a Nobel peace price.

The main idea behind this "An Inconvenient Truth" is that Global Warming exist, and that it is man-made. Though i think it is OK that Al Gore made this powerpoint presentation, then it is very wrong of him as to claim that it is a scientific fact that Global Warming exist - because it just isn't.

The main pretext for the theory of Global Warming to be true, is that the climate of earth has always been stable, until modern man destroyed the climate with big factories and CO2-emissions. All agree on that.

But the thing is that the Earth climate has never ever been stable. A couple of thousands of years ago the earth was engulfed in an ice age. Before that Ice Age, the earth experienced a hot age - a time when the temperature was way higher than today. This is all scientific fact - go read about it in you local library. Before that "hot age", the earth experienced another ice age. Before that Ice age, the earth experienced yet another hot age, and before that yet yet another ice age.

The pro-global-warming Al-gore fan would then postulate that man-made CO2 was responsible for those ice ages and warm ages. But that just isn't true. Modern Man with all the factories and cars didn't exist back then, and yet Global Warming happened. How does that fit with the Prophet Al Gores theories of that all Global Warming is caused by man? Fact is that the Climate of Earth have been changing from hot temperature to cold temperature all the ages in which earth has existed. The Earth have experienced much warmer weather in the past, when the amount of CO2 was way lower than it is today (research this, it is true). All these amounts of evidence against man made global warming just shows that man made CO2 does not have a significant impact on the climate of earth.

Global Warming happens, but it is not the result of man made CO2. Other factors play in to this scenario as well. Most notable must be the sun and cosmic rays. Do we humans really think that our climate is unaffected by the immense powers of the universe? Hell no! Try to read about this theory. One notable scientist, whose work on this you should read, is Henrik Svensmark. Read some papers by Henrik Svensmark, and you'll find that Global Warming happens, but it is not caused by Carbon-dioxide (CO2), but the cosmos.

It is fine that this "movie" got attention. But why did Al Gore get a Nobel Peace Price??? That is really not good. Peace Prices are given to people that actually MAKES PEACE! The Nobel Peace Price shouldn't be given to the maker of a powerpoint presentation.
