Best-selling author Dennis Avery is the next prominent figure to challenge the facts Al Gore is promoting in his global warming crusade. Mr. Avery is co-author of "Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1,500 Years." Both Al Gore and Dennis Avery have New York Times best-selling books on global warming, but with opposite conclusions.

The list of Al Gore detractors continues to grow as his extreme rhetoric and conclusions get dissected by scientists, economists, and researchers. Avery joins Lord Christopher Monckton (former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher advisor), Bjorn Lomborg (Danish economist), author Michael Crichton, Prof. S. Fred Singer (former director of the U.S. National Weather Service), Tim Ball, Ph.D. (historical climatologist), Prof. Ian Clark (University of Ottawa), and Prof. Richard Lindzen (MIT) among others.

Gore has refused all debate challengers to date. Joseph Bast, president of The Heartland Institute, noted, "Maybe it's because climate alarmists tend to lose when they debate climate realists. Or because most scientists do not support climate alarmism." The Heartland Institute has run more than $500,000 of ads in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Times promoting a debate.

Wonder why?

[Badeye]

He didn’t want to debate in 2000 from what I recall, so its no surprise.

[Dixie Yooper]

Al has already used his Alpha Move on GWB and it didn't work. He has nothing left to win an argument.

Gore has refused all debate challengers to date.

Its hard to justify debate over junk science, a huge mansion and private jets..

[gotribe]

That would be like debating about a pyramid scheme.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd say we're building a consensus that anthropogenic Global Warming is flawed.

Liberals don't like facts.

They thrive on feelings and emotions and use statistics to back up their feelings and emotions.

[Go Gordon]

He didn’t want to debate in 2000 from what I recall, so its no surprise.

If you can't win a debate against the great miscommunicator, you won't win a debate agaisnt a scientist with real data.

Gore Refuses to Debate Global Warming Theory

Wonder why?

He is the proverbial gambler at a high stakes poker game, armed with a piggy bank.

AKA comes up a bit short in a pissing contest.

[swilliams53]

Obviously, the ‘ManPig’ is at it again. Anyone with a legitimate cause and theory should not be afraid of debate. Facts are Facts, and Scientific Facts should be analyzed and debated openly. His alarmist tactics are only scaring people and causing our government to enact extra taxation legislation against anybody without enough ‘carbon credits’ associated with there enterprise. Good work Al! Glad you are not president you gravy sucking pig!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Why should the great former next president debate when he has the whole left and its publishing division, the mainstream media, on his side?

[Millee]

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd say we're building a consensus that anthropogenic Global Warming is flawed.

Of course it is. That's why the weather alarmists now fret over "Global Climate Change".

Al has already used his Alpha Move on GWB and it didn't work.

Is that the one where we swaggered over to George and Bush looked up to see what Al was doing and shot the swaggering putz a look like he was going to deck him?

[LIConFem]

I don’t blame him. I’d be reticent to try to defend a set of baseless claims too. This is probably the smartest decision Gore ever made.

[joebuck]

"If you can't win a debate against the great miscommunicator, you won't win a debate agaisnt a scientist with real data."

He also lost a debate against Dan Quail. In this instance Gore is probably making the right decision.

[bolobaby]

Maybe Al Gorrebel is smarter than we think. Maybe he actually realizes that the invitation to debate is really an invitation for him to look like an arse.

[cardinal4]

Of course it is. That's why the weather alarmists now fret over "Global Climate Change".

Right out of the liberal playbook-if the people find a name or term unpalatable, change it. Try and find the term "liberal" on DU, they are "progressive". A term that appears in all the early teachings of Lenin, et al...

[FormerLib]

Why won't little Al debate?

Because he's playing on our fears! He's debtraying America!

[griswold3]

Because it’s ‘inconvenient’!!

[Vaquero]

Hey...leave him alone...he's super cereal

EXCELSIOR!!!
