On The Big Story, Cato Institute fellow falsely asserted that IPCC findings contradict Gore's "beyond shrill" claim
March 22, 2007 4:54 pm ET
SUMMARY: Patrick Michaels falsely compared Al
Gore's claim that global warming could cause "sea level worldwide
[to] go up 20 feet" with
a portion of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 report that predicted a sea-level increase of 8 to
18 inches. In fact, the IPCC report made that estimate based only on increases in
temperature, while Gore was
discussing what would occur if vast sections of polar ice "broke
up and slipped into the sea."
