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”

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.

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.

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?

So it is true. God has a sense of humor!

Snow piled eight months ago still sits three metres high in Buffalo, N.Y.

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.

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.

[T]he PR spiel says that he would provide “update to his influential 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth”.

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?

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

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.

July 29, 2015 11:41 am

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.

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.

Do the latest and best climate models account for the Gore effect?

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!

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.

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.
