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.

Put him to work shoveling coal.
And in the meantime:
“US GDP shrinks 2.9% in first quarter
The unusually cold weather in the first quarter of the year has been blamed for the poor performance of the economy.”

What Gary said…
Al Gore – I invented the internet and Global Warming. Global warming has even effected my marriage. There was a pause followed by cooling. It has been named the “Gore Effect”.
As an Aussie I have been worried at the mess that Clive Palmer and his little tribe of pet retard Senators might create in the Senate for the Government…. and then Clive turned up with Al Gore!! I am quite relaxed now, Palmer has found his level, like the water in the toilet bowl after flushing and the future is revealed.
Since he takes votes from the right of our political spectrum, I am wondering what his constituency is thinking? (Well thinking in the sense that a rabbit or a sheep thinks – sorry rabbits and sheep, I know that’s an offensive association but unfortunately you are not great intellects and someone has to speak frankly)

“If you like your Al Gore, you can keep your Al Gore. And if you don’t like your Al Gore, you can still keep him”.
Poor Al, he just don’t get no respect.

Richard,
The major ‘chill’ affecting the US economy is incompetent national leadership, driving incompetent monetary, energy, regulatory, and economic policies.
“The Weather Did It….” was the Obama excuse used today because absolutely no one will buy the “Bush Did It…. excuse anymore.

Since it has been scientifically proven (correlation is causation) that the presence of Mr. Gore produces cold weather (weather is not climate), it is obvious what we must do. We must move Mr. Gore to the geographic North Pole. He will require some sort of shelter, of course, and some supplies flown in from time to time, weather permitting. But this will save the Arctic ice! No need to reduce or restrict carbon dioxide emissions or restrict the use of petroleum products. Just by placing Mr. Gore up at the North Pole, we will not only prevent the ice from collapsing further, we will probably see it grow and thrive (anthropomorphic allusion to satisfy the tree-huggers). We will save the world!!!

Other big ones: In 2007, snow and ice storms across the US when Gore won an Oscar: Academy Warned
In 2012, Gore, Branson, and others voyage to Antarctica and the temps in their vicinity plunge 27 F degrees below normal:
The Gore Effect kicks in, plus ça change …
Hmm..The Antarctic also seems a smidgeon on the large side too lately…………..

I have asked –
Is Al Gore looking for a high political role post Obama in 2016?

Did Al destroy Mike’s hockey stick by zigzagging the troposphere? Fortunately Aussies know how to construct Deepsea Challenger type submersibles and could ship Al back in one of those. The speed of about 3 knots (3.5 mph) should chase the missing heat back to the atmosphere.
If it makes anyone feel better St Gore’s private has not go the range to get to Australia so he would have to have gone commercial instead. First class of course after all you cannot expect him to ‘slum it ‘
The reason I first started investigating AGW was Al Gore. I KNEW that if he was supporting this idea it was a lie. When he claimed that he was the inventor of the internet , I knew that he couldn’t be trusted to tell the truth. At that point I began to read research being done pro and con, and it didn’t take long for me to understand that his “science” wash video games. The fact that anyone listens to him at all is an indictment against the education system and evidence of the lack of intelligent thought of all the “useful idiots”. It is a very sad commentary on our civilization that deceivers like him are believed by anyone.
So in a strange way I am grateful to this moron for what I have learned in the last 15 years.
Does a hooker charge more if you want to take them to dinner after your press conference?

Meanwhile Professor Clive continues to develop his 40 million tonne per annum coal mine…

This is hilarious. One can only surmise that Gore has been totally hoodwinked. He stood next to a celebrated buffoon of Australian politics, and endorsed that man repealing our carbon tax, and promising to bring in an ETS ‘when all our trading parties do’.
And Gore was their to approve!
Here’s just a couple of ‘Inconvenient Truths’ about Al’s new pal.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/a-couple-of-inconvenient-truths-mr-vicepresident/story-e6frg6n6-1226967014997
Does Gore know that Palmer claims to have a deal to export $60 billion worth of coal to China over the next 20 years from his big holding in Queensland’s Galilee Basin?
Does Gore know Palmer’s Waratah Coal was given approval late last year to build a thermal coal project near Alpha in central-west Queensland?
Does Gore know Palmer operates a polluting nickel refinery, Queensland Nickel?
Does Gore know Palmer incurred millions of dollars in penalties for refusing to pay his carbon tax bill on time?
Does Gore know that Palmer owns a fleet of cars and planes, and it is doubtful that he counts a Toyota Prius among his collection, and it is unclear whether he claims carbon offsets when he flies in his private 19-seat Bombardier jet?
Does Gore know that just three months ago his new-found green ally was declaring that there has been global warming for a long time and it’s all part of the natural cycle because “all of Ireland was covered by ice at one time, there were no human inhabitants in Ireland’’.
Does Gore know that Palmer asked why carbon reduction had to focus on “the 3 per cent that’s contributed by man’’ instead of the “97 per cent that’s contributed by nature’’?
Does Gore know that Palmer is in an alliance with Ricky Muir from the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party, which advocates more spending on roads, and relishes the odd burnout?
Unbelievable
A fascinating what-if. What if algore had won instead of Dubya, would Florida now be deep under an ice sheet?
When I turned on the tv and saw Gore and Palmer together I thought that the end of the world had indeed come. With two such oxygen thieves in the same room it’s a wonder everyone in the surrounding building didn’t suffocate.
I had booked in to take a week and catch up on some horse riding in the Snowy Mountains this week. Now I know who to blame for my loss of holiday. There should be a website with Al Gore’s itinerary on it so people can check in advance and take preventative action.
Anti-Semites! Anti-Semites! Anti-Semites
Oh, whoops … wrong article. (you’re still anti-Semites)
He the rain man of climate change….”it’s definitely going to be hotter, definitely, definitely……….definitely”.
I trust he flew Qantas.
God is laughing, so am I.
Did he travel economy class? Can somebody at wuwt who knows transport write about how much co2 he emitted and how much he spent on flights to deliver his stupid message.
We should invite Al to New Zealand! The skiing here this winter is lousey so far!
Cheers
Roger
