Here is an interesting clip of this wide ranging interview:

MITCHELL: Well, one of the things that she has written recently on Facebook is that this is doomsday scare tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood that makes the public feel like owning an SUV is a sin against the planet.GORE: Well, the scientific community has worked very intensively for 20 years within this international process, and they now say the evidence is unequivocal. A hundred and fifty years ago this year was the discovery that CO-2 traps heat. That is a — a principle in physics.

It’s not a question of debate. It’s like gravity; it exists.

MITCHELL: If it’s so unequivocal, I’ve got to ask you about the — the leak of those e-mails. Even today, Tom Friedman talked about them massaging the evidence. Why would they feel the need to hype the evidence if it’s so unequivocal, some scientists, I should say?

GORE: Yeah, I don’t think they did. I haven’t read all the e-mails that were stolen. They’re from — the most recent one was like 10 years ago.

And what they’ve done is they’ve snatched a few phrases completely out of context, and I’ll give you an example.

One of the oft-quoted phrases has to do with the scientist saying that a particular study isn’t good science and shouldn’t be included in the — international report. Well, that was their view. They exchanged it privately.

The study was included, fully aired, discussed. The weak points were — were analyzed. The other points were analyzed. So it’s an example of how these private exchanges have been blown out of proportion, taken out of context, misrepresented.
