Mr. Vice President,

 

Our government has now invested $79 Billion (that is not a typo – it’s about the cost of the Iraq war up to when Saddam was captured) in “research” to validate your Global Warming theory and has not been able to convincingly do so. Many scientists and experts, most notably Lord Moncton, have repeatedly offered to debate you on this important topic.  Your predictions have, so far, not come to pass. The planet has not warming for the past ten years and has been cooling for the past seven (Source: IPCC data). The “hockey stick” you presented has been debunked as a "hokey stick" (a fraud), and the polar bears are increasing in numbers.

 

Question: Why do you refuse to debate climate skeptics on this important subject?
