Two scientists in the Philippines
are slamming former Vice President Al Gore for making a visit to Manila and presenting both a global-warming doomsday scenario and an analysis of local environmental conditions they say were way off the mark.
"There we go again. A foreign celebrity coming over for a quick visit, giving a talk, and we are all in adulation, taking everything said as gospel truth," Carlo Arcilla, Ph.D., said in a statement e-mailed to the Inquirer newspaper.
