The Gore Effect

Former VP and self proclaimed climate expert, Al Gore, is set to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this morning on global climate change. Today's high temperature is forecast at 36 degrees, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until noon.

This always seems to happen to the global warming guru. Last October, freezing temperatures followed Gore to Boston, as he gave a speech at Harvard. In November 2006, Gore flew to Australia where he was met by unusually cold and snowy conditions, despite that the country was nearing its summer months.In January 2004, a Gore speech in New York was marked by a low temperature that day of 7 degrees.

Climate-change skeptics have dubbed the coincidental phenomenon "The Gore Effect."
Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma quipped, "The ‘Gore Effect’ proves Mother Nature has a sense of humor; she seems to enjoy mocking global warming fear promoters.”
