How entertaining would this be? 
Go on Sarah, do it!
The forecast for a Sarah Palin-Al Gore debate over global warming is looking murky.
After spending the past few days slamming Gore and other proponents of climate change science, Palin back-pedaled when asked if she would debate the former vice president on the issue during a radio interview with conservative pundit Laura Ingraham, thinkprogress.org reported.
"You know, it depends on what the venue would be, what the forum," Palin told Ingraham. "Because Laura, as you know, if it would be some kind of conventional, traditional debate with his friends setting it up or being the commentators, I'll get clobbered because, you know, they don't want to listen to the facts."
The war of words between GOP and the former GOP vice presidential nominee heated up over Palin's Washington Post Op-Ed piece blasting the Copenhagen climate summit. In the article, she pointed to "Climate-gate," the leaked e-mails from a British climate research center last month that suggested that scientists inflated evidence, as proof that scientists used faulty science.
Gore, who has become the face of the global warming issue after winning an Academy Award for the 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," was quick to comment during an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell later that day.
"The global warming deniers persist in this air of unreality," Gore said during the NBC interview. "After all, the entire north polar icecap, which has been there for most of the last 3 million years, is disappearing before our eyes. Forty percent is already gone. The rest is expected to go completely within the next decade. What do they think is causing this?"
That in turn set off a counter-rebuttal from Palin on her Facebook page -- and calls across the blogosphere for the Democrat and conservative to square off in a debate.
"Oh, he wouldn't want to lower himself, I think, to, you know, my level to debate little old Sarah Palin from Wasilla," the former Alaska governor told Ingraham.
