Inconvenient Truth

Fox News

Al Gore ridiculed the environmental views of Seattle-area Republican Congressman Dave Reichert this week during a campaign stop with Reichert's Democratic opponent. After Seattle's mayor said Reichert does not believe humans cause climate change — Gore equated global warming skeptics with people who believe the earth is flat and think the moon landing was a fake.

But Gore apparently was misinformed about Reichet. The congressman's Web site says he makes decisions based on the assumption that global warming is man-made. Reichert has in fact voted against drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge — and opposed a measure to amend the Endangered Species Act.
