[85Sooner]

What are the odds. Here is a perfect chance to forward his beliefs before the world.

[OUHOMER]

Gore aint got the balls to do this

[Fraggle145]

I love how now instead of attacking the science, people who support global warming are now trying to "deprive the worlds poor." :rolleyes: It would not be impossible to accomplish the goals of both attempting to reduce carbon and attempting to develop 3rd world countries...

If you want to see the transcript of a debate that has already taken place between dissenters (for lack of a better term) and advocates (for lack of a better term) here is the link

The debators were:
For the motion that GW is not a crisis:
author and filmmaker, Michael Crichton.

The Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology in the Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Planetary Sciences at MIT, Richard S. Lindzen.

Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the University of London,
School of Oriental and African Studies, Philip Stott.

Against the motion:
Climate Scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, Brenda Ekwurzel.

Climate Modeler at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Gavin Schmidt

Distinguished Professor of at Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
University of California, San Diego – Richard C.J. Somerville.

It is long, but the points for both sides are good.

Isn't AG supposed to be speaking before a Congressional Committee about GW?

I personally think more people would take AG seriously if he were actually practicing what he preaches.... IMO.

I would take Lord Monckton more seriously if he didn't use words like "foofaraw".

Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her years as
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said, "A careful study of the
substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's film, An
Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and
errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide."

nobody insults like the Brits do.

What, the guilty schoolchildren don't get to learn now? :D

Anyway, Al Gore shouldn't be listend to. He flies in planes!

[rufnek05]

So true. :D I thought it was interesting that Ld. Monckton also used a baseball phrase in his challenge: He said AG should "step up to the plate." That Americanism seems to have found a place in HM's English.

I'd pay to see that debate.
