I'm guessing you'll all just double down.

No, they never will.

They'll just move the Goal Post...

Al Gore Promised/Threatened in his Nobel acceptance Speech (December 2007) that the Arctic would be Ice Fee by 2014...

2014 Arctic Ice was so Thick, TWO Icebreakers had to be rerouted for rescue missions

When called out on this In 2014, first they denying he even said that, when Presented with recordings they (finally) admitted Gore wasn't a scientist, and that he was quoting some one else (and not responsible for the accuracy of the information he was circulating)
then they tried to split hairs about Winter vs Summer, how 2014 wasn't over yet, and anything else they could find

Al Gore actually admitted that he lied saying that it was such an important issue that it was OK to lie about it to galvanize people to action.

Which then raises the issue..

If he was simply quoting other Sources (Scientists) as his defenders claim, does that Mean the Scientists have been 'fudging' their numbers to scare people into compliance as well

He deliberately altered scientific stats for his movie. The climate scientists have been fudging the models consistently, though, and several scientists were caught red handed plotting to falsify temperature records. (East Anglia scandal)

They have been.
A couple of years ago or so British scientists were caught fudging climate data to suit the narrative. They then admitted doing it, but said some bs of how the conclusion was still sound, just taking shortcuts because yadda yadda.

OOps, I just saw this was already stated by the OP right below. Egg on my face, fried by the Global Warming, no doubt.

I need more coffee.
