I think you bolded the wrong section.

Gore has won the global warming debate—the world is warming as a consequence of human activity, chiefly the loading up of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. ...
On balance Gore gets it more right than wrong on the science (we'll leave the policy stuff to another time), but he undercuts his message by becoming the opposite of a global warming denier. He's a global warming exaggerator.


In other words, he's right on the science but he's exaggerating or picking the most extreme likely effects.
Seems the most important point.

Of course, no other campaigner ever exaggerates so this completely invalidates Gore's message </irony>.
