LONDON, England (AP) -- Some of the assertions in Al Gore's Oscar-winning environmental documentary are not supported by scientific evidence, a British judge said in ruling on a challenge from a school official who did not want the film shown to students.
...
Burton outlined nine problems -- including Gore's claim that sea level rises of 23 feet might occur in the immediate future -- something the judge characterized as "distinctly alarmist."
He also cited claims that Hurricane Katrina, the evaporation of most of Lake Chad and the melting of the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro were all caused by global warming. Burton said there was insufficient evidence to back those claims.

Sorry if this was already posted. I didn't see it on page 1 or 2.
Considering CNN's love affair with Gore, this piece was fairly surprising.
