Not a lot different from what he actually said
"I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
Either way it was a stupid way to put it, when he's real claim to fame was he co-sponsered a bill.
It was just as stupid as the telephone tax we pay right not that was suppose to provide interent access to all schools. The "Gore Tax" as it's called by most opinions is unconstitutional as it bypasses congress who has the sole authority to tax. So Gore found a way to back door it in some FCC legislation forcing the tele-com companies to collect what amounts to forced contributions.
I've always liked that.
It's not a tax, it a "forced contribution"

My point, and I admit it was a minor one, wasn't to address his claim, it was to address how his statement has been grossly manipulated over the years to the point now where people see the false quotation as truth.

The same can be certainly be said about claims of global climate change. The oil companies managed to counter the scientific evidence with false claims for so long, that now we still question reality.

The scientific evidence is clear and indisputable - climate change is ocurring at a dramatic rate. This is not a "natural" cycle unless you think of man's influence on climate as "natural." To state otherwise is to basically refute every reputable, peer-reviewed study that has dealt with the subject.
