On November 19, 2009, several e-mails were hacked from a UK research center. These emails tended to show that global warming was indeed a hoax and that the earth was actually cooling rather than warming. These emails came to be known as “climate gate” and left many people wondering whether global warming was actually a hoax.
One of the things often used to support the theory of man-made global warming is the melting of polar ice caps. In fact, Al Gore allegedly filmed the melting of these ice caps in a documentary called “An Inconvenient Truth”. It turns out that the ice-melting scene was actually taken from the movie “The Day after Tomorrow” and the ice shown was actually Styrofoam and not polar ice caps.
