#1 I suspect that algore thinks that Palin is an easy mark hence the response. algore remains unwilling to debate anyone with half a brain on the issues on which he presents himself as an authority. I would like Palin to challenge him to a debate and see if he will accept. If he did, it would be fascinating.

#2 Al gore refuses to debate with anyone who would have the intellectual advantage. as anyone with half a brain will easily out class the mental powers of poor Al by an order of magnitude they are to be avoided at all costs.

notice his choice of venue... NBC news... he needed to rub shoulders with Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams to prop up his flagging self esteem and look the part of (comparative) cognitive giant.

#4 "It's a principle in physics," he told Mitchell. "It's like gravity, it exists."
Idiots, they are like liberals, they exist.

#7 Shouldn't it be "rebuffs"?

Yes, it should. Which means MSNBC is either hiring folks with poor English skills, or anything Mr. Gore says is accepted as fact.

#8 The correct word is refute. Rebut is a synonym. Al Gore did neither.

#9 Ice cap's there, Al. Number's a little low again for the season this month, but it's probably equipment failure again - they've been insisting on using a narrow set of squirrely satellites. Well, more like satellite, IIRC.

Which is what g(r)rom said. Gotta read the subtlety.

#12 Gore continues to refuses to debate anyone on the topic. All he did was whine to a sympathetic reporter.

In college, Gore got a D in Physics. So by all means, lets listen to him on the topic.

#13 Gore's response to the entirety of the CRU data dump was that "the emails were all over 10 years old".

Mr Gore is either ignorant and/or a liar.

#14 Mr Gore is either ignorant and/or a liar.

Since these two are not mutually exclusive, I will vote for both.
