Al does it again – visits Melbourne during coldest July in 19 years

As a staff member at the august academic institute of higher learning that employs some of the greatest alarmists in the business (but I am still proud to say that I work there), Melbourne University has just hosted a visit from Al Gore & the PR spiel says that he would provide “update to his influential 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth”.
I have also just finished watching the 6pm TV Channel 7 news weather report which told me that we are on track for the coldest (both daily max & overnight min) July for 19 years.
Just sayin……
At least we know what he gets up to. It’s all so buttock-clenchingly vile.
Update to “An Inconvenient Truth”?
“Inconveniently Wrong”

“Inconviently Wrong”

Danke mein Freund.

Al Gorean run at the mouth, when it can get by his feet.
He who speaketh from both ends.
I make the best mango chutney in Australia using Bowens here in Qld – where the climate continues to be fabulous and relatively unchanged.
A Most Convenient Lie
Exactly!
The Goricle Strikes Again! Wherever he goes, unusual cold follows. Never fails.

We need to take a up a collection to make sure Al Gore makes it to Paris with maybe a few stops before.
I wonder what the Gore effect does in the Maldives.
My guess is that sea level drops at least half a meter.
Ah, but the BS level goes up a full meter.
… but it goes back up again when he enters the water…
“Climate change causes sea level decline.” There. I solved that one for poor Mr. Gore.
Climate change, Causes an increase in ambient air temperature over the Ocean and thereby an increase in Pressure of the air on the surface causing a slight decrease in surface height in response to the pressure increase. So Climate Change + localized decreases in ocean surface levels…. Or NOT
As a measure of length the correct spelling is metre not meter.
Keep him out of Paris please, we have had enough rain for this ‘summer’ already
Ric I was thinking along similar lines. We can conquer Gorebull Warming. All we need to do is keep him visiting hot spots around the world and the globe will cool.
Gore’s words also produce a “Gore Effect.” After Al foretold the demise of Arctic summer sea ice, Alice and I were on the National Geographic Explorer two weeks ago as it fruitlessly attempted to take us to the East Greenland shore through a thick blanket of sea ice; sea ice that Al says should not be there now, or evermore. I’m sure the National Geographic trip planners had full confidence in alarmists’ Arctic sea ice prognostications, but the resultant failure and frustration caused by the very thick sea ice gutted what was supposed to be the highlight of our very expensive trip.
That only means one thing: The world policies of reducing CO2 have worked…. Al was correct in saying that there should be no ice there now but…because a lot of people have paid gazillions of dollars to reduce CO2 emissions and Gaia is now happy that she has all this mula to give away she rebuilt the ice sheet…..

I have often wondered about the hesitancy to claim victory!
Sorry to here that,
sadly Insurance Companies are now including a”Gore Effect” into their ‘Get Out Clauses’.
They are now adding, “By The Hand of God or Gore” to their general exceptions.
(Sarc)
P.S.
Hope you got Compensation.
So like Rob McKenna’s status as ‘Rain God’ lead to blackmail payments to keep him away, the Gorical will start using his ‘Ice King’ status to make more money.

Not to mention the Antarctic expedition that was trapped in the worst Ice seen in decades!
If there wasn’t an Al Gore, we would have to make him up, if only for Kafkaesque comic relief!

Does anyone know how much Melbourne University paid for the honor to host the Goracle? And did he fly in on his private jet?
At 4000 mile “safe” range that would be, at minimum, a stop in Hawaii, a stop in Guam to refuel. Of course no one takes into account the amount of energy that it takes to get Jet Fuel to Hawaii and Guam, so you need to add that to Al’s carbon account, plus the difficulty in moving diesel to power all the ground vehicles that support an airport.
At this rate it’s about the same emissions as Toyota Prius driving from New York to San Francisco and back 260 times
OH you silly!!! Al came to Oz on a Solar powered plane……..and he wasn’t here to go sightseeing….It was a study on the effect of uncontrolled CO2 emissions in our landscape and the futility of the Government “Carbon Policy”…..
sarc/
He came to Oz on a train……..a gravy train.
Perhaps they could “Run Him Out on a Rail”
Paid? Surely you jest, This is just another example of a the failed politician pursing his nutso mantra at his US supporters expense – idiots all…
dunno..but how come hes allowed in?
surely he incites fear and panic and is a threat to my nations security..
thats a form of terrorism in my book.
+1
So it is true. God has a sense of humor!
He created the sick joke Gore, didn’t he? Al is just living up to expectations.

Snow piled eight months ago still sits three metres high in Buffalo, N.Y.
I’m originally from Wellsville and went to school at UB. How much snow did you have last winter?
If there is grass growing on it does it count as permafrost?
Just shows how little climatic change is needed to revert us back to an Iceage Little or otherwise.

Decidedly inconvenient; means RE-INVENTING COMMUTER TRANSPORT AND HOUSE STANDARDS – sorry about the Caps – and probably a whole lot more.
Ah – but –
Where is Chicago’s O’Hare field if there is a kilometre or to of ice over where it sits today.
[Sure, very true for most N Hemisphere airports . . . .]
But a Real Ice Age
Please don’t go there . . . .

And snow in 3 US states in july http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/cold-front-brings-rare-july-snow-to-three-us-states/55018/
This set up is encouraging from an ENSO California Drought busting perspective. I just hope it lasts into at least a November time frame.
Maybe this fool should schedule his propaganda talks for the summer.
Well, the really sad thing is – he thought he ~did~.
It IS summer, just not in that hemisphere.
Just another one of those inconvenient truths.

I too am starting to take Al Gore as evidence there is a God or Gods.
Seems the deity in charge of weather really has it in for him.
Probably Aeolus, God of Wind- I have to imagine algor ticks him off, considering all the hot air he emits every time he opens his mouth.
Perhaps this is the real truth to the Al Gore Effect. Nature is just trying to compensate for the amount of Hot Air Al Gore will emit during his stay.
I think it is clear proof that the Gods exist and still take the traditional attitude to the hubris of mere mortals.
I wonder if one of the updates will be the admission that the scene of calving glaciers in the title sequence was pinched from the CGI title sequence of “The day After Tomorrow”? And will he address the NINE errors (when he was “economical with the actualite”) pointed out in his film by a British Judge?
Frat Boy Science goes global.
mayhaps that should be ‘prat boy’ science?
Could it be Gore’s loss of the presidential election left him so bitter that he switched from a raging liberal to a Marxist and that in turn led him to global warming propaganda?
Ah, Maybe not, he was probably a Marxist all along. America dodged a bullet in the 2000 election.
You got that right. But Obama is a similar bullet with an agenda from the same party source once you get away from individuals and such.

“You Haven’t Done Nothing”
We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you’ll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
‘Cause if you really want to hear our views
“You haven’t done nothing”!
It’s not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
‘Cause if you really want to hear our views
“You haven’t done nothing”!
from Al:
“Mother Nature is now answering the question of do we need to change and the answer is yes,” he said. “There have been massive climate events, some larger than have ever occurred.”
climate events – what are those? apparently they have been massive and I have missed them all
By definition an ‘event’ cannot be climate it can only be weather.
I sure hope he took a sailboat to Australia. Somehow, I doubt he thinks the rules that apply to others apply to him. I will begin to believe in catastrophic man-made global warming the day that everyone who says it is a problem lives the way they command me to live.
Not just in the Land of Oz. The northern Atlantic along with Greenland and northern europe are also looking inconveniently cool at the moment.
Northern hemisphere southern hemisphere, well that’s local weather. Aside from those two places, globally it’s hotter then ever!
Let’s be totally honest…..Mother Nature Hates Al Gore. She is in control, and resents him saying otherwise….LOL!
I’m beginning to think Al Gore is an alien that doesn’t spend much of his time on Earth. With the very much observed “Gore Effect”, if Al Gore spent much time on the planet we would be well into another ice age.
Any speculation about the planet he’s from?
I would rather speculate on what planet we could send him to.
Tough call. Since he’s full of hot air, the prime choice is Venus, but given the Gore effect and the fact he is full of, ahem, you know what, then maybe Uranus?
From the blurb: However, the presentation focused on hope. Mr Gore highlighted the amazing momentum occurring around the world in switching to renewable energy technology and the vast number of new jobs in these industries that had been created, 6.5 million in Germany alone.
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE – that would mean that about 15% of the working population in Germany is working in renewable energy!
Anything goes when the message has to be massaged.
Old’un –
is it possibe to post a link to this “blurb” or scan it & post it in the comments here s i cannot find anything online? thanx.
So, 15% of the German working population now work to produce energy? Hopefully we can further this wonderful progress, and return to the good old days when 50% of the working population was required to produce food. People were happy then! Who needs all that other stuff like houses and phones and planes and healthcare? (By the way I made up the 50% figure, but as Al represents the zenith of scholarly probity, that’s allowed. Just look at the Dimmock case: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2007/2288.html)
Do the latest and best climate models account for the Gore effect?
Yes, but in academic circles it is called the Mannopause.
Now he just needs to visit the Paris climate summit later on this year, to confirm a early start to the winter in europe. 😉
Remember the nineties,
Threats of doom and disaster;
Al Gore was the preacher
And fear was the master!

I was thinking Al was the ‘b’ word that rhymes there.
Silly, silly Al. In a year where heat records are being smashed all over the place, how could he not have found a place he didn’t have to wear his thermal underwear? I mean he could have stayed at home in the good old US of A and made his point with little effort. Or…. he could have waited a few months for the record heat forecast in Australia to kick in. Silly silly Al.
Al won’t need his winter woolies. It’s winter in Melbourne. Today’s high: 12 deg. C. Today’s low: 7 deg. C. (54/45 deg. F) “That’s not a winter.” (apologies to C. Dundee)

But if he stayed in USA he couldn’t have flown halfway around the world, burning tonnes of jet fuel. It takes true dedication to maintain a carbon footprint of his size.
Quoting from the article:
“Mr Gore spoke of the ‘danger and opportunity’ presented by the climate crisis. ”
He has done quite well with the Climate Crisis, perhaps that is the opportunity he spoke of! Of course the danger, for him, would be if there perhaps isn’t a Climate Crisis.
If at some point this cooling climate period is named, I’d like consideration given to naming it “The Al Gore Minimum.” It has so many possible hidden references and secondary meanings that I’ll not go into them here.
