Gore will pull a Carter and dodge the discussion.
No kidding!
Whey would Al Gore want to commit political and economic suicide?!?!
This GW myth is his golden goose. He's not going to be stupid enough to risk losing all that he's worked for all of his last 10 or 20 years. As long as the myth is kept alive, he has a job. As long as the myth is kept a live, he is "admired" and people will continue to look at him as courageous. Would anybody in their right minds give up such a mighty position just by agreeing to a debate? A debate which would end it all? Gore may be stupid, but he ain't stupid enough to sacrifice his agenda and livelihood for a debate.
Agreeing to a debate, which would undoubtedly destroy his credibility along with the global warming myth, would indeed prove him to be an idiot beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The outlook wasn't brilliant for Climate Change that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one debate more to play,
And then when Clinton died at first, and Kerry did the same,
A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, "If only Al Gore could but get a whack at that
We'd put up even money now, with Al Gore at the bat.
Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,
For Al Gore, mighty Al Gore, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Al Gore's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Al Gore's bearing and a smile lit Al Gore's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Al Gore at the bat.
Ten thousand Dems were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;
Five thousand libs applauded when he wiped them on his shirt;
Then while Lord Monckton ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance flashed in Al Gore's eye, a sneer curled Al Gore's lip.
And now the ocean-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Al Gore stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the surly moonbat the ball unheeded sped
"That ain't my style," said Al Gore. "Strike one!" the voters said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore;
"Kill him! Kill Exxon-Mobil!" shouted someone on the stand;
And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Al Gore raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Al Gore's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to Lord Monckton, and once more the dun sphere flew;
But Al Gore still ignored it and the voters said, "Strike two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened Floridians, and echo answered "Fraud!"
But one scornful look from Al Gore and the audience was awed.
They saw his face bloat stern and cold, they saw his stomach strain,
And they knew that Al Gore wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Al Gore's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now Lord Monckton holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Al Gore's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudvillemighty Al Gore has struck out..

Lord Monckton of Brenchley was Margaret Thatcher's science adviser.You do know that this whole global warming thing is ironically Maggie Thatcher's fault, right? She was the original politician to give money to the wackos for their "research". Don't get me wrong, I love the woman. She was one of the greatest world leaders ever, and a great teammate for Reagan. Anyway, she was trying to push nuke power, and this seemed like the best way to get people to believe that nuke was much better than burning fossil fuels (which it is, but not for the reasons she was touting at the time). Anyway, watch the Great Global Warming Swindle (see link above) and all of it is explained.

Why debate a "denier"? It's a religion. No facts required.
Gore is the high priest. Our economy is the demon to be exorcised.
I do hope The "great global warming swindle" will do to Gore what the Swift boat vets did to Kerry.... expose the fraud.

If Gore refuses ...
Monckton should hold the debate with an Al Gore Character actor, and make Gore look like the butt head he is. Make Gore regret not accepting.

No doubt. Mindless sheeple. If someone like Gore is going to make the wild claims that he is, he should face the hard, scrutinizing questions and back up what he says. If he refuses, then don't take what he says seriously. You don't make world-wide policies based on medicine men floating around from town to town, claiming to have the cure for all.
When did this country and so many others stop thinking critically? Or more like, stop thinking all together?

The sad thing is that when I've tried to show some people the errors they say, "what's wrong with doing things to save the environment just in case?" What they don't understand and refuse to see is the catastrophic results on the economy and our way of life by doing all that Kyoto type stuff "just in case." And that's not to mention the real agenda which is control of the sheeple.
To: Some hope remaining.
Yep, it's all about control of the peons by the elite. There's nothing wrong with good stewardship but not to the point of dictating every teeny-tiny detail of how a person lives that takes away so many freedoms. But hey, so many people don't understand what socialism or communism and their failures are all about. And "life's needs given on a silver platter" mentality is totally destroying too many communities or cities in our nation.
Yet these same clowns that want to tell us how to live our lives can't even clean up after themselves in D.C. yesterday. What a friggin' joke...

I agree with Lord Moncton on gw, but shouldn't he have said "step up to the wicket" instead of plate? What is the British equivalent since I suspect Lord Moncton has little knowledge of baseball expressions? But I could be wrong.
To: cogitator
"proper way"
You probably have a point, but you are forgetting that this publicity stunt, if it occurs, will help spread some truth and dispel some of the hysteria about gw. Remember the great majority of the world's population has only heard one side of the story. Any attempt, publicity stunt or not, will help counter all the hysteria.
To: cody32127
He won't go. He already enjoys the free pass that the left (media, dems) is giving him.

I love it when Gore gets itch-slapped : )

Ask them if they know the story about banning the chemical DDT.
At the time it was banned, experts KNEW it didn't really pose a danger to anybody, but they couldn't fight the PR battle the environmentalists waged.
The result ? Over a million malaria deaths that would have been prevented had DDT use continued.
There are unintended consequences to everything. Slowing development in Third World countries WILL kill people by the millions. Yet GW alarmists never mention the dangers of seriously curtailing the use of fossil fuels.
To: ODC-GIRL
Even if Gore accepted, he'd only take nine steps. No honor whatsoever.
BTW, thank you for your service to our nation.
