"Among the many things a University of Missouri at Columbia professor and a libertarian public policy institute in Washington disagree on is just who is misrepresenting whom.
First, Curt Davis, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Mizzou, complained that the institute wrongly portrayed his study in a national television ad in order to confuse the public and play down the effects of global warming. His study showed growth in some parts of the East Antarctic ice sheet.
Then, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which produced the ad aimed at countering 'global warming alarmism,' put out a news release Monday, saying Davis was spreading mistruths.
The back-and-forth comes just days before the documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' opens in theaters. The movie details former Vice President Al Gore's quest to rally action against global warming, which he calls a 'planetary emergency.' "
