I am not an expert in climatology. So I could not get anything published in a refereed journal.
 
However, seeing the Vostok data that Gore's movie was based on, I do believe an explanation is necessary, and apparently there is no one who contributes to SciPol that can explain it for me. Once again here is my unanswered post:
 
I for one would like someone to explain to me how CO2 can be driving global temperature based on the Vostok core data for the last 30 years: see Antarctic Ice Core Data 4 from http://www.daviesand.com/Choices/Precautionary_Planning/Closer_Look/index.html
The global temperature has fluctuated +_ 1 deg around 0.5 deg C, whereas the CO2 content has increased monotonically from 320 to 370 ppm. an all time high for the last 400,000 years.

All right, global warming is an ordinary scientific idea that has 
been propagandized into an extraordinary political idea in the 
service of people who will financially benefit if the public thinks 
the idea is extraordinary in general. As for "extraordinary changes 
in political thinking", yes, it's always extraordinary to be faced 
with the prospect of civic catastrophe. So the question is do we bear 
the cost and attempt to do something, or do we simply bleat that 
doing something will be expensive? As for evidence, if you have any 
evidence to contradict the evidence of the IPCC, you also need to 
publish as soon as possible in a refereed scientific journal.
