With Al Gore visiting Canberra today, it’s little surprise that the ‘Al Gore Effect’ has struck again.
The ‘Al Gore Effect’ is defined by the Urban Dictionary as;
“the phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming.”
There are countless examples of Al Gore visiting a city, only for freezing below normal temperatures to strike.
Simply the phenomenon of the ‘Al Gore Affect’ is Mother Nature laughing at Al Gore, as he jet sets around the world preaching that we are all doing to fry, Mother Nature turns on an icy blast of freezing weather.
In Canberra it was only last month that the Bureau of Meteorology foretold that Canberra was likely to experience “a dry and warmer-than-average winter”.
But as Al Gore rolled into Canberra – so to did blizzard conditions, icy temperatures and a big dump of snow in surrounding mountains.

Al Gore may be the best thing going for skeptics. I think he damages the alarmist side more than anyone else. 🙂
Freezing cold on the Fraser Coast up North of Canberra as well – normally I’m boasting about the T-shirt weather, but tonight, heaters going, wearing a wooly sweater…
Thanks a bunch Al. America, you can take him back now.
Did not algore do one of those dog and pony shows last fall in Chicago? Maybe they will not let him back in after the winter they had this past year.
Can he please visit Virginia the 1st week of July?
@MattN – I second that! 😉

Now that Obama is out front on fighting climate change, perhaps AlGore should accompany POTUS on his next 7 or 9 golfing vacations, so they get a chance to discuss political strategy while waiting for the fairways to be cleared of snow.
I am sorry this dope is inflicting himself on Australians. Turn him back at the airport. Shameful man, making tons of money from pushing his lies like a drug dealer sells his wares.
Al still hasn’t figured out that Earth has two hemispheres and the one he is in is enjoying winter !
Ha ha Al old boy. ;-D
It seems to me that the Gore effect is spreading bot in area affected and in people infected. (My all time favorite instance was President Obama leaving the Copenhagen UN Climate COP a day early to get back to Washington before a blizzard shut down the airport.)
I wish, I wish Al was speaking at the ICCC next month.
As long as Mr. Gore stays away from Canada, that will please me. We get enough cold snowy weather here as it is. I have been waiting for climate change for our nation for the last 30 years and have been thoroughly disappointed that it has yet to come. We do not need the kind of climate change Mr. Gore brings with him. Nosiree.
Gore Effect: I’ve been following long enough that the first 2-3 times it was very, very funny. But it just keeps happening. It’s been several years now, and it is absolutely amazing the amount of times Al and cold weather blow into a town. I wonder if the bookies have stopped taking bets on the Gore Effect?
You think that’s weird.
Al Gore today congratulated Clive Palmer (Palmer United Party) during a press conference announcing he [Clive Palmer] will be backing the repeal of the Oz carbon tax.
It’s surreal.

How much does Gore charge these days to save the world?
The secondary Gore effect is a strong sense of nausea everytime I see his name. If inadvertently viewed, he can produce long periods of uncontrolled upchucking. Hearing the lisp can be deadly > sarc
5 years or so ago, the wife and I went to Cancun in December for a vacation. Unbeknownst to us, the worldwide Global Warming Conference was being held at our hotel ( it was still called Global Warming back then). Lo and behold, a cold front comes through. It was the coldest week in Cancun in 60 years. Wind chills in the 30s. The sight of conference attendees walking around the grounds shivering brought a warm and fuzzy feeling to my heart.
In the hotel bar one night, we met a totally intoxicated representative from South Africa. I laid my thoughts on him that it was all a hoax, he said ” It doesn’t matter, America must give us the money”. What else do you need to know?
Invite him to the Outback. They could use some flash floods there.
You know that “algore” means “to cool” in Latin. As in the word Algor mortis.
Yes, though it will be interesting how the Media ends up classifying this strange alliance between Clive Palmer reputed multi millionaire with at least one law suit from the Chinese over a failed deal and Albert Gore standing shoulder to shoulder with Clive and then as usual Clive recants part of his speech in later news “clarification” on when and if the ETS will force the governments hand, but yes the Carbon Tax will provisions will be repealed. Al Gore may well regret this media event as Clive comes over as a very unpredictable tricky person who got into politics when his coal lease approvals did not come through as he expected and who knows what he will say or do in the future to embarrass big Al. Follow the action as this unfolds over the next few months. Who is using who in this political climate zoo!
PS it is extremely cold, perhaps Big Al could head to Iraq and cool things down there next!!

The only Outback he’s interested in is the steakhouse. “Double porterhouse, please.”
It would be fitting for Al Gore to find himself in a Castaway-like situation (The movie with Tom Hanks) on his long trans-Pacific flight to/from Down under. Having him re-enter society after 5 years of absence, only to find it no warmer.The best part would be when he asks about carbon fueled cap and trade and the IPCC. He would be told that unfortunate period when Alarmists attempted to destroy the world’s economies with their anti-carbon energy crusades, were just fading bad memories to be forgotten. Forgotten as a string of multiple bone chilling winters across the globe and growing cryosphere ice put all his Inconvenient Truths into the history books as Convenient Lies.
He wasn’t in Norway lately, was he:

The obvious solution to global warming is send Big Al to every place where there is a heatwave. The heat will be so scared of his presence that it will want to leave days in advance of his arrival.
Al Gore may not have been the inspiration for “Love Story,” as he claimed, but is it possible that he inspired Al Cap to create the character Joe Btfsplk for Li’l Abner?
