Al Gore Challenged to International TV Debate on Global Warming  
 
Mar 19 04:30 AM US/Eastern
        
 
 
 
  
  
    PERTH, Scotland, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a formal 
 invitation sent to former Vice-President Al Gore's Tennessee address 
and 
 released to the public, Lord Monckton has thrown down the gauntlet to 
 challenge Gore to what he terms "the Second Great Debate," an 
internationally 
 televised, head-to-head, nation-unto-nation confrontation on the 
question, 
 "That our effect on climate is not dangerous." 
 (http://ff.org/centers/csspp/docs/20070316_monckton.html) 
  
  
    Monckton, a former policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher during her 
years as 
 Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said, "A careful study of the 
 substantial corpus of peer-reviewed science reveals that Mr. Gore's 
film, An 
 Inconvenient Truth, is a foofaraw of pseudo-science, exaggerations, and 
 errors, now being peddled to innocent schoolchildren worldwide." 
  
  
    Monckton and Gore have once before clashed head to head on the 
science, 
 politics, and religion of global warming in the usually-decorous pages 
of the 
 London Sunday Telegraph last November. 
  
  
    Monckton calls on the former Vice President to "step up to the plate 
and 
 defend his advocacy of policies that could do grave harm to the welfare 
of the 
 world's poor. If Mr. Gore really believes global warming is the 
defining issue 
 of our time, the greatest threat human civilization has ever faced, 
then he 
 should welcome the opportunity to raise the profile of the issue before 
a 
 worldwide audience of billions by defining and defending his claims 
against a 
 serious, science-based challenge." 
  
  
    The arena of the glittering "Second Great Debate" will be the 
elegant, 
 Victorian-Gothic Library of the Oxford Museum of Natural History, which 
was 
 the setting for the "Great Debate" between the natural scientist T. H. 
Huxley 
 and Bishop "Soapy Sam" Wilberforce on the theory of evolution, 
following the 
 publication of Darwin's Origin of Species.  Lord Monckton says he chose 
this 
 historic venue "not only because the magnificent, Gothic architecture 
will be 
 a visually-stunning setting for the debate but also because I hope that 
in 
 this lofty atmosphere the caution and scepticism of true science will 
once 
 again prevail, this time over the shibboleths and nostrums of the 
false, new 
 religion of climate alarmism." 
  
     Lord Monckton's resounding challenge to Al Gore reads as follows -- 
  
     "The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley presents his compliments to 
Vice- 
     President Albert Gore and by these presents challenges the said 
former 
     Vice-President to a head-to-head, internationally-televised debate 
upon 
     the question, 'That our effect on climate is not dangerous,' to be 
held in 
     the Library of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History at a 
date 
     of the Vice-President's choosing. 
  
     "Forasmuch as it is His Lordship who now flings down the gauntlet 
to the 
     Vice-President, it shall be the Vice-President's prerogative and 
right to 
     choose his weapons by specifying the form of the Great Debate.  May 
the 
     Truth win!  Magna est veritas, et praevalet. God Bless America! God 
Save 
     the Queen!"
