It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

The Debate is Over


So said Al Gore while expressing his opinion on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) around 2006

And because it is over Al won’t debate. The refusal to debate is evidence of a weak case.

If your case is strong you would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate that in front of the largest audience possible so that people can see the strength of your argument against the weakness of your opponent’s objections.

The avoidance of debate is pursued to deny your opponents a forum in which to show the weakness of your case. You want to keep their objections away from the public because you know your case is weak.

But, Al, you are correct. The debate is over.
