Here’s Al Gore in 1983 when he was still a Congressman, laying out the case that we’re all DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED from global warming and climate change:

You are proving a different point. You are showing that Al Gore was involved in global warming, not that he was seen as an environmental nutcase.
It is clear Perry wasn’t trying to refute that point, since he mentioned it and mentioned that he disagreed with Al Gore about that.
The argument is that Perry lied about Gore’s involvement in global warming, apparently to hide it; that argument falls on it’s face given that Perry MENTIONED Gore’s involvement in global warming and said he disagreed with it. That’s an odd way of “hiding” something, by speaking it publicly.
As was said in a previous palin thread, if you are going to call someone a liar, look at all the words they said, don’t just take a soundbite, mis-interpret it, and come to your conclusion.
