Media Matters: Al Gore Photoshops Book Cover

The cover of Nobel Laureate Al Gore's new book "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis" was intentionally doctored to exaggerate the appearance of hurricanes in the northern hemisphere as well as reduce the amount of ice present in the Arctic.

Maybe even more ominously, Florida was so diminished it's almost totally gone.

As reported by Florida State University hurricane expert Ryan Maue at the website Watts Up With That, the truth was apparently inconvenient for the Global Warmingist-in-Chief (h/t NBer Blonde):

The cover opens and closes half and half - so you only see one hurricane...as in the press release photo or the one on Amazon.

But this is the real picture sequence from the book which I looked at Borders today and took cell-phone pictures, original (before the retouching by some "artist") Note all of the Arctic ice and the size of the Florida Peninsula...



Now that is the book cover, with a massive hurricane, melted ice and diminished Florida. Now this suppose to be today (meaning what it really is like)

However, this was photoshoped. This is the real image:



Even more proof, is that when i opened up the book cover photo, it sent me straight to (or opened up in) photoshop. When i opened the other it was just in iPhoto.

Media does matter.
