Gore can't overcome the facts
Chilly reception for debate offer :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Steve Huntley
Bast says the ad campaign will continue until March, costing a total of $1.2 million. But he won't get a debate from Gore. Still, Heartland's effort serves the worthy purpose to spotlighting the need for an informed discussion on the severity of global warming and how best to deal with it, by trying to halt it or adapt to it. Gore offers a worst-case scenario of unmitigated disaster. If he's wrong about rising sea levels, what else is he wrong about?
Gee, why doesn't Gore ever want to debate folks that don't share his hysterical viewpoint? If he believes so strongly that humans are the cause of global warming, and because he is such a terrific orator, he should put anyone in shortpants that dare debate him on his pet cause. Unless he is wrong. Eloquent speaking skills can't overcome the facts. And Gore's version of the root cause of global warming is very profitable for him, since he sits on the board of a company that sells carbon credits. Kind of makes his protest that the Heartland Institute receives money from the oil companies look silly doesn't it?
