The irony, it burns. Do you think maybe Gaia is trying to send the U.N. and the delegates a message? One record low was funny, three in a row was hilarious, a new record low for the month of December was ROFL, but now six straight days of record lows during the U.N. COP16 Global Warming conference? That’s galactically inconvenient. The whole month so far has averaged below normal:
Here’s today from Weather Underground, Today’s low was 55°F and the old record was 60°F in 1999:
And here are the other 5 days, and more record lows are forecast, see below:
======================================================
The forecast for Cancun is not encouraging:
Existing record lows for the next two days are:
Dec 11 57 °F (2003)
Dec 12 55 °F (2008)
It is likely we will see a full week, possibly 8 days of record lows, and another new all time record low for the month of December is possible also.

Has anyone compiled a list of the Gore effect events?
Just imagine what kind of apocalyptic weather would occur if they had these things in say Denver or Saskatoon (which I’m sure has a bustling winter convention scene) in January. -40 degree temps (conveniently where C and F match), 5 feet of snow, Imperial Walkers appear on the horizon, but alas Al Gore’s Tauntaun collapses under his heft and the Rebellion is crushed!
1999°F? Why, that’s almost 0.08% of the temperature of the interior of the earth! (at least if you assume that ol’ Al literally meant 2,000,000°F when he said ‘millions of degrees’)

We did, but we threw it away and just kept the value added data.
you simply could not wish for such a scenario to happen at precisely the right time! LOL
Interesting how low the dew point is during this spell. Once again water vapor soundly trumps CO2.
“Galactically inconvenient”
Mr. Watts, two days in a row I bow to your clever wordsmithing. Yesterday was your “knobs” double entendre. Today, this.
Regarding the Gore Effect, it is truly getting creepy in its predictability. In a good way, of course, but creepy nonetheless.
Do not confuse weather with climate!
These temperatures are completely consistent with Global Dooming.
has al gore visited england lately? that would explain a few things.
What is more noteworthy is the huge temperature swings in an area close to the ocean. You usually don’t expect that. It’s going from ~50F to ~77F through the day, that’s like a temperature swing in a desert.
Didn’t any of them pack sweaters?
Oh well, let them eat Rosca!
Here’s Dr.Roy Spencer on Cancun:

You will pry my grass fed beef out of my cold, dead fingers,,,
It must be the oil companies. They have devised a weather-modification machine which they can move about to follow these conferences, in an attempt to undercut the movement.
Nothing else can account for these “coincidences”.

When Cancun copped
The coolest of Al Gore Effects
Last year during Copenhagen, I said they need to do their theater in July. It is too risky in the winter.
It is very difficult to ignore this reality.
Given our extreme left “friends” at Cancun who want (a) the UN tax us, (b) destroy the US economy and (c) stop the economic development of the west, I say let them freeze their doohickies off.

‘Has anyone compiled a list of the Gore effect events?’
I once tried but the ink in my pen froze solid. I tried warming it up a little, but stopped when this chill run up my spine. I’m not superstitious but . . .
This helps me get over the fact that so many bureaucratic parasites are down there junketeering on my dime. I am sure the Canadian delegation is large, given the alternative for these useless government drones is to be doing nothing in freezing Ottawa. May you all get food poisoning, puking is about the only thing productive you will ever do.
I bet the Mexicans will be glad when the climate gringos have gone home.
Apparently the conference prayed to the wrong Mayan god…
I like the 48 deg forecast in 2 days’ time … that is 7 deg cooler than current!

Much colder and that deadly DHMO will start to crystallize.
Cancun is proof that the greenies believe they are entitled to their entitlements.
