The Gore Effect
(Links may expire over time.)

* GORE HEARING ON WARMING MAY BE PUT ON ICE

Mon Jan 26 2009 17:59:26 ET

Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the ‘urgent need’ to combat global warming.

But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.

A ‘Winter Storm Watch’ has been posted for the nation’s capitol and there is a potential for significant snow… sleet… or ice accumulations.

“I can’t imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside,” a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. “And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel.”

A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans.

Global warming advocates have suggested this year’s wild winter spells are proof of climate change.

* HEARING ON ‘WARMING OF THE PLANET’ CANCELED AFTER ICE STORM (Drudge Report ) February 13, 2007
* March 1, 2007 — Minnesota Public Radio’s “Global Warming: The Home Front” scheduled for March 1 was cancelled due to insufficient global warming (”based on current travel advisories “).
* March 7, 2007 — A Congressional subcommittee meeting on Energy and Air Quality Hearing on “Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?” was cancelled due to a snow advisory. “A SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE PRIMARILY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES…AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.”

Recall that greenhouse hypothesis maintains that warming due to increases in the greenhouse effect is anticipated to be greatest in the winter.

Why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? He who sits in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath.
- Psalms 2

They are calling for 10 inches of snow here from tonight until Sunday morning.
