Gore will do fine as long as he can recite his well practiced talking points. When challenged with facts, he will throw a tantrum. Gore will never agree to this debate. It's too much of a risk.

Right. If the debate is framed in such a way to allow Algore to just mouth talking points then go on unchallenged, he will win.

If the debate is framed in such a way that the actual facts are allowed to be debated, then Algore will get his eco-clock cleaned.

This is all based upon Algore actually showing up, of course.

"...mouth talking points then go on unchallenged, ..."

That is not the way of Lord Monckton! Look up some of his writings on climate.

I expect Gore to flame Monckton again. He published an article in The Telegraph and followed it up with page after page of peer reviewed fact behind a Web link.

Gore's response was, "It is so typical of my detractors to trot out the same old tired protests that have been refuted for years..." or some such without ever addressing a single point and stressing "consensus" among scientists that makes debate pointless.

A Gore tantrum would be devastating to him and his cause, especially when countered with data, fact, calmness, and a reasonable demeanor.
