From JUNKSCIENCE.COM, Bolding is mine.
Al Gore: the curiously reticent global warming zealot - A couple of weeks ago Junkman and Al Gore met at a function where Al presented a short version of his global warming shtick. During a brief conversation afterwards Junkman floated the idea of a genuine debate between advocate and sceptic climate scientists, a proposal that was at first brushed off and then declared interesting. Subsequent e-mail traffic between Junkman and Al Gore’s handler expanded the idea to perhaps a C-Span televised event, possibly moderated by Al himself.
Well, don't hold your breath. What could have been unprecedented and riveting television won't happen as AGW advocates have decided to "take a pass" on the debate suggestion. The question is, why? We simply do not understand why global warming proselytisers, who seemingly grab every opportunity to expound on their pet topic, would decline such an invitation. Even if they worried about exposing differences of opinion among climate scientists surely those so certain of their correctness would relish the chance to demolish the arguments of "contrarians" on television? Apparently not. So, help us out here. The topic for this week's poll is "Why do you think Al won't help set up or be involved in a genuine debate on climate?" (see poll at left)
