Give Gore a dunce cap instead of honorary degree

The University of Minnesota is considering giving AL Gore (pictured) an honorary doctorate in climatology for his 2006 movie, "An Inconvenient Truth."

Considering the multitude of misleading and inaccurate assertions Gore delivered in the film, Gore is better fitted for a dunce cap.

Inaccuracy is the norm rather than the exception in Gore's movie. He would receive no better than an "F" in any serious course on climatology. The question is, given the current crisis in our public schools, does giving a bad scientist an honorary degree really send the right message?

A complete list of Gore's false and misleading statements would fill an entire book.
