Public policy should not be determined by those who are not willing to debate the science. It seems to me that Mr. Gore thinks the time for debate is over and that a science-based debate would be bad for his cause. A debate might give the public the idea that the following statement is bogus…. 93% of all future surface temperature increases are caused by increases in CO2. This outcome might not be good for those who are convinced computer models (that predict 100 years into the future) are never wrong. BTW, I once made a bet with Julian Simon on the future price of sawtimber and in 1997 he sent me a $1000 check. “The Simon-South bet on pine sawtimber” was not given any coverage by the major news media. I hope the media covers the Armstrong-Gore bet (both now and in 2017) and I hope the debate takes place. I bet $100 that Mr. Gore will not accept the challenge (but I hope I lose this bet).
