First, Jeb, it proves nothing if some scientists complain that their data is used to contradict their opinion. Indeed, if the contradictory conclusions from this data are true, it would only show how biased these scientists are.
Second, you can call a factual error an overstatement or an understatemet, it doesnt change the fact, that an factual error is a factual error. And Gores film is full of these errors. Many arguments that he tries to make are infact based on an “overstatement”, as you call it.
Third, just because a majority of learned people believe something, does not make it true, especially if the belief is also used to pursue political motives. Or was Galileo Galilei wrong just because he was in the minority? Fact is, nobody has the scientific means to prove how the weather will be in 10 years (there isnt even a reliable weather forecast for the next month), nor can anybody prove what the consequences of a severe climate change would be.
Fourthly, civilization has taken its path, and there will be no reductions in CO2 unless our civilization stops all progress, and goes bakc to the bronze age, and reduces therby most of the population to utter poverty. And, if CO2 is so bad, why just dont eradicate every living being on the planet, then there would be no evil CO2 emittents.
I just do not believe that Nature, of which the human race is just one part, is trying to kill itself.
