level rise." <br /> *On August 21, 2020, NASA published an article titled "NASA-led Study <br /> Reveals the Causes of Sea Level Rise Since 1900." Find the article <br /> here: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3012/nasa-led-study-reveals-the- <br /> causes-of-sea-level-rise-since-1900/ <br /> It reads: <br /> "Sea levels have risen on average 1.6 millimeters (0.063 inches) per year <br /> between 1900 and 2018." <br /> That means the sea level has risen a little over 7.4 inches in the last 118 <br /> years! Does that show the world is in danger of being engulfed by water? <br /> No. It shows that it will be a very, very, very long time before humans are <br /> in danger. Does that mean documentaries like "An Inconvenient Truth" are <br /> telling lies? <br /> *An article was published in the Seattle Times on October 12, 2007, titled <br /> "British judge ruled the Oscar-winning film on global warming, "An <br /> Inconvenient Truth," contains "nine errors.""

The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence <br /> global warming. The Government's expert was forced to concede that this <br /> is not correct. <br /> 2. The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 <br /> levels cause temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found <br /> that the film was misleading: over that period, the rises in CO2 lagged <br /> behind the temperature rises by 800-2,000 years. <br /> 3. The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that <br /> this has been caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to <br /> accept that it was "not possible" to attribute one-off events to global <br /> warming. <br /> 4. The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was <br /> caused by global warming. The Government's expert had to accept that <br /> this was not the case. <br /> 5. The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due <br /> to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr. Gore had misread the <br /> study: in fact, four polar bears drowned, and this was because of a <br />
