And Al Gore has admitted lying about the actual danger of global warming. Add to that the fact that the British court documented the 9 proven inaccuracies in his film.

Bush lied about WoMD because he felt the goal of removing Saddam Hussein was noble and worthy. Al Gore lies about the true danger of global warming for the same reason.

The point is the same in both cases. Nobody denies that removing Saddam Hussein was a worthy objective. Nobody denies being environmentally friendly is a noble endeavor. However, the message concerning both of these objectives was twisted and tainted for the "greater good" by the person delivering the message.

You earlier posted....
I don't understand it, what does it matter if all the smears are true? Isn't the overall message noble, selfless? Would it hurt to make people, our kids and our grandkids aware? Do we suddenly stop listening to that song we love if the artist says something we don't agree with?

You've stated directly and indirectly that it doesn't matter if Al Gore lied, his message is still noble overall. I'm merely pointing out another example of a misleading message being given to justify a noble cause. If the smears don't matter in one message, then they don't matter in the other. On the other hand, if the cause is damaged by the misleading message in one, the same is true for the other.
