A theory presented by Gore from a scientific journal is not debunked by a newspaper article or a blog.

But that's the problem right there...it is merely a theory...yet presented as fact or accepted as fact by many. This is where the problem begins IMO.
There are a myriad of theories, yet the only real hard scientific data we have to fall back on is the history of climate change through the millions of years the earth has been around. It has heated and cooled all by itself before, and as such, the fact that things are changing now means it could simply be a natural occurence. An occurence we never had the abitilty to see/monitor as residents until technology has now allowed. Humans being residents of this system obviously have to have some sort of involvement in what is happening....but to what degree? This is where the REAL issue lies from my viewpoint.
What's happened though, much like religions around the world, the extremists are the ones making the most noise, ergo, getting the most attention. That takes away from the possibility of real fact finding. Gore is one of these guys IMO.
For him to win a "peace" prize because he is a staunch extremist trying to instill his belief through fear and media while calling it science is a joke.
