Dozens of eyewitness reports indicated that former vice president Al
Gore deliberately attempted to raise the earth's temperature in order
to boost box office receipts for An Inconvenient Truth, his documentary film about global warming that was released in May.

Former vice president Al Gore takes a flamethrower to the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica to boost weekend ticket sales for An Inconvenient Truth.
"We have accounts from concerned citizens that Mr. Gore purchased a
Cadillac Escalade SUV several months before [his film] opened in
theaters," said Kimberly Blume, spokeswoman for the California-based
environmental group Friends Of The Earth. "Not only did Mr. Gore use
his new gas-guzzler to make short trips to the grocery store, he also
left the vehicle running 24 hours a day in the driveway of his
Tennessee home with the air-conditioning on full-blast."
