If you have links to articles published in peer-reviewed journals that contradict the scientific evidence of human-caused global climate change, I'd be happy to read them.

He claims again and again that there has never been a peer reviewed journal to dispute what he is saying does he not?
Do you have access to the journal of Pure and Applied Geophysics? (student library perhaps?)
I just found an article titled
"
The Global Warming Debate: A Review of the State of Science"
That seems to disagree with what Mr. Gore says.

The case for global warming as presented above appears convincing and
seemingly governed by a simple but attractive physical argument that more CO2 in
the atmosphere will trap more outgoing longwave radiation and thus the earth’s
surface will eventually become warm enough to make a case for ‘‘global warming.’’
As mentioned before, the global warming and associated climate change issues are
governed by many complex mechanisms and it is imperative to more closely examine
these mechanisms before making definitive conclusions about cause and consequence of global warming.

I also scanned across some of these which referred to x MY (million years) ago and the earth temperature based on various techniques of measuring.
Quote:
-145 MY (Cretaceous). Very warm. Speculation that there was no ice on the planet, even at the poles (ENVIRONMENT CANADA, 2003).
-43 MY (Eocene). Very warm. CO2 levels then were less than during the glaciation at –114,000 years (ENVIROTRUTH, 2003).
-114,000 years. Beginning of the most recent glacial period. Very cold. High CO2 levels (ENVIROTRUTH, 2003).
-12,000 years. In Europe, temperatures varied from warmer than present to the coldest during the ice age in a few decades and then bounced back. In Greenland, temperatures rose by 8 C in a single decade (WEART, 2003).

I haven't read the article yet but after skimming it over it appears to dispute what Mr. Gore had to say. It was also published in 2005 and IS a "peer reviewed" article.
How can that be? I thought Gore said (and others in this very thread) that there are zero peer reviewed articles that disagree with his conclusions on global warming...
Edit: Sorry for the crappy formatting the forum doesn't appear to like my quotes...
