You know, sometimes coincidences are just too strange and funny to ignore. Here’s the low temperature forecast map from NOAA produced today, for overnight low temperatures during the time that Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project gets into its full swing. It starts at 8PM EST/5PM PST. Chill baby, chill:

And it gets worse, see below. For anyone who doubts the Gore Effect, I’ll point out that it has its own Wikipedia entry, which says:
The Gore Effect is a term used with various meanings relating to Vice President of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore. In one use, the term is a humorous concept suggesting a causal relationship between unseasonable cold weather phenomena and meetings associated with global warming, with particular emphasis on events attended by Gore. The phrase has also been used to describe Gore’s impact in raising global warming as a public issue, and in other ways related to Al Gore.
…
The Toronto based national newspaper Globe and Mail defined the term in 2007 quoting a user’s submission to the online Urban Dictionary website as “the phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming.

Look at the forecast for the upper midwest from Dr. Roy Spencer’s WeatherStreet website:
Lot’s of 20’s and 30’s in the upper Mississippi Valley.
Thats some chiller gore.

Can’t somebody stop this clown before he plunges us all into the next Ice Age?
Al Gore effect also in Cape Verde. It has been raining where he is talking about a drought:

This kind of begs the question…since there’s a better correlation between Gore talking about global warming and declining temperatures than there is between CO2 concentration and temperature (over the past century, CO2 has risen steadily, but temperatures go up for a few decades, then down for a few decades), shouldn’t we be abandon our unjustified focus on carbon dioxide and instead start looking at capping Gore’s emissions if we want to stop climate change?
I said it in another post. On Sunday, as soon as I heard about the the Gore-a-thon I climbed out of my pool and prepared it for winter. It was in the high 70s then but last night we had first frost in this area. The Gore effect never fails. I’m really starting to have faith in it…in a climate religion sort of way.
The coincidence is mind boggling….this has happened many times before if I recall correctly…I love this…HA!
When will Algore realize that God hates hypocrites? 🙂
Thanks Al – it hit -3C here in my hometown in Alberta, Canada last night.
” My Friends of the EARTH: NOAA ( National Ocanic & Atmospheric Administration ) with Weather broadcasting Announced that ” CHIL BABY CHIL ” . So AIRCONDITIONING OF MOTHER EARTH is progressing well.
No more Hurricane this season means my predictions of May 15 th 2011 is going to be correct & NASA’S prediction & projections about 2011 Atlantic Hurricane season is wrong ” ! ! ! !
-3C on Sept 14 is not inconsistent with global warming. Shame Gore isn’t visiting Texas. Maybe Perry should send him an invite?
But of course nobody would be so tactless as to make a comment about a tipper point…
Wish Al would come to Dallas. We could use some cool temps and rain.
Ya know, maybe his $145K speaking fee is the cheapest way to fight global warming… The IPCC needs a section on this.

Maybe the aleins are good ones and hate Gore!
Something supernatural seems to be trying to beat something into his head. Has anyone seen the flames shooting from his mouth lately?
We are in for a painful long winter.
Gore blimey, guv!
I laughed and laughed reading the title. This is funny as hell!
Snow to low levels in New Zealand – getting late for it now.
I went to Cancun on vacation last December and arrived the day after the big UN global warming shindig had finished. There were record lows for several days during that event. God indeed has a sense of humor.
Gore’s timing may be a joke, but his impact on science, politics, and the economy certain is not. His global warming scam is steering this country toward a state of energy deprivation.
“When Gore quit politics in 2001, his wealth was slated at $2 million. Since then, after he became the high priest of the global warming religion, his wealth has ballooned to more than $100 million. To assuage his guilt for having such an enormous carbon footprint, Gore buys carbon offsets from, get this – his own carbon offset company! Talk about a convenient reality.
That’s how he could afford to fly in endangered Chilean Sea Bass to his daughter Sarah Gore’s wedding rehearsal dinner in Beverly Hills back in July, 2007. Along with French champagne and the endangered fish, Gore apparently had no trouble swallowing his own hypocrisy.”

Cold / Warm… Doesnt matter. Changed the title to climate change so that either outcome fits the agenda. Clever strategy…
Freezing our parts off in southern CO. And it is (supposedly) still summer for another week.
Maybe we could send Al to the North Pole. That would fix the ice.
Fozen Polar Bears might not appreciate it.
The Gore effect, indeed. Makes one think: maybe there is a God.
Of course, Gore Effect is pure selection bias – but isn’t he one of masters of using that principle himself?
I’d like to point out that the Gore Effect article was created by WUWT’s very own Mark Nutley – before he got banned. 🙁
[Reply: There is no Mark Nutley listed on the relatively short WUWT list of banned commentators. ~dbs, mod.]

Maybe you should move to southern CO2 … 🙂
