Al Gore's hot air vs. Bjorn Lomborg

From the WSJ blogs...

Its “kind of silly” to keep debating the science, Mr. Gore said (AP)

Former Vice President Al Gore repeated his message that climate change is a planetary emergency at the WSJ’s Eco:nomics conference in California. The Nobel-prize winner declined to take any questions from reporters, but he did receive a couple of challenges from attendees, including Bjorn Lomborg. But don’t expect Mr. Gore to debate the merits of how best to tackle climate change anytime soon.

Mr. Gore stuck to his prepared script...But he was challenged by Mr. Lomborg, the Danish skeptical environmentalist who thinks the world would be better off spending more money on health and education issues than curbing carbon emissions...

The video footage is funny-- since Gore compares skeptics to those who thought Civil Rights should not be extended to African-Americans. (At least he didn't break out the Nazis and Holocaust deniers!) And he refers to a "tipping point" in this debate. Unfortunately, he's on the wrong side of that tipping point!
