GORE EFFECT BY PROXY
Country singer Kathy Mattea - one of Al Gore’s climate thetans - recently delivered Al’s message to a Utah crowdlet:
Mattea, one of hundreds of people enlisted by Gore to give presentations like the one featured in his documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” spoke to a crowd of several dozen people at the Orem City Council chambers, asking people to take action against global warming.
A few days on, Utah suffered massive Gore Effect coldening:
A man died in Washington County, homeless people were turned away from a packed shelter in St. George and records fell across the state Sunday as an arctic cold front settled over Utah.
In all, 16 record-low minimum and 16 record-low maximum temperatures were set or met.
Meanwhile, in California: “This is one of those freezes that, unfortunately, we’ll all remember.”
“I think every sane person understands the threat to our planet that global warming represents and the necessity of dealing with it in a very, very bold way,” said Sanders, I-Vt.
Funny that, a socialist has determined that only a socialist solution will do, and anybody who disagrees is “insane”. Whodathunkit?Yeah, I’m dealing with that same cold front myself. Damn you, Algore! Damn you to hell!!!
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 01 16 at 10:26 AM • permalinkPeople don’t realize how damning new record lows are.
Global warming via greenhouse gasses ought to prevent record cold temperatures, because record cold temperatures come from arctic ground successfully radiating away its heat through these same greenhouse gasses, and then cooling the air that subsequently moves to Utah.
With greenhouse gasses, this ought not to produce record lows.
Something has cleared the air over the arctic of its supposedly effective greenhouse gasses.
Whatever is happening to the earth, it’s not the greenhouse effect
I think Gore may actually be this fellow in disguise. The family history seems to fit.
I think it’s clear that we here in northern California need to go burn down the Gorebot’s new San Francisco luxury condominium. We wrapped our outdoor plants in frost netting, but they still took it in the shorts. It’s a massacre out there—no wonder the citrus crop is toast. Damn you to hell, AlGork.
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 01 16 at 11:34 AM • permalinkFunny how a pretty chanteuse becomes such an ugly nuisance the minute she stops singing and starts emitting greenhouse gaseousness.
I wonder if she knows how bad she would look under flourescent stage lighting?

it just occurred to me, whilst reading this article, that the economy of Iran (and that of Venezuela) will suffer seriously from inflation as a result of the artificial high price of oil.
It reminded me of the fact that 15th and 16th c. Spain suffered massively from inflation as a result of the massive amounts of cheaply produced gold which they were bringing back from the New World. The Spanish monarchy was, temporarily, endowed with massive wealth and power, but the lower classes found themselves in a less than enviable position.
Maybe Gore isn’t special, he just thought of it first—we don’t need massive government programs designed to beat global warming. It’s enough that we get together in groups and talk about massive government programs designed to beat global warming.
Global warming scares easily.

Well we are at the tail end of the last Ice Age.
Be a real pain in the ass if average temperatures got colder. ‘Cause wheat don’t like that.
Posted by memomachine on 2007 01 16 at 01:03 PM • permalinkGlobal warming must have missed Austin. It’s snowing here! School cancelled today and likely tomorrow. The beef stew is on, the fire is blazing and a glass of wine awaits (at a respectable hour, of course). Children are making probably the weakest snow angels ever imagined.
Global warming?? Sheesh.
Posted by Kathy from Austin on 2007 01 16 at 02:59 PM • permalinkFrom now on, let’s just call it globAL GOREming and be done with it!
Posted by ElectronPower on 2007 01 16 at 03:28 PM • permalinkHmmm.
If it’s called Global Warming then why is my ass freezing?
Posted by memomachine on 2007 01 16 at 03:54 PM • permalinkYes, poor things, it’s what, 63 in Los Angeles and they’re freezing. Gimme a break.
Posted by rightwingprof on 2007 01 16 at 04:14 PM • permalinkBrentbo, I’m on the phone to NY and DC all day long, and while at my house in Denver I have received 56” of snow in the past month, New Yorkers have been all sackcloth-and-ashes because the nice weather there is a supposed to be a bad thing. I have been telling them that, ‘I am burning all the hydrocarbons I can but it’s not helping here’ to the same frosty responses.

Since some of the Warmists are starting to hedge their bets by hinting that maybe warmening really means coldening, I say we call it “Global Warning”. That covers all possibilities, and only requires a one-letter change on the signage and letterhead.
Posted by Dave in Chicago on 2007 01 16 at 04:56 PM • permalinkhey - don’t know if anyone mentioned this already, but the great Paco has hit 5,000 posts.
Heartiest congratulations Paco!
Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 01 16 at 05:09 PM • permalink#31 Dave,
“Global Warning” might be easier, but it is readily confused with “warming” by the lazy or the alphabetically challenged. Global Goreming, on the other hand, is sexier and it means warmening and/or coldening anyway. Besides that, Rebecca has already stolen the copyright from me.
Hey Paco, congrats! I already have about 15 postings, so watch out or I’ll catch you by February 2050, when will have finally reached mature Al-Goreheating.
By the way my favorite author was Isaac Asimov, and he also followed that overarching principle of quantity over quality.
Posted by ElectronPower on 2007 01 16 at 05:50 PM • permalink#34 Forbes: Just think of my stuff as ballast.
#35 Thanks, Miss Red. Kathy Mattea is one of Al Gore’s little frost elves, a harbinger of winter; like fuzzy caterpillars, or squirrels digging up acorns.
#36 EP: We should probably consider the possibility that the volume and speed of these posts is creating friction, which undoubtedly leads to global warming.
Re#15 The flow of silver from the Americas (and Asia) was more inflationary than the increase in gold supply.

That isn’t the first article I’ve seen that suggests that man-made “greenhouse” gases may temper a future solar-generated cooling cycle.
Warming and cooling periods are not uncommon, and in fact, are fairly regular.
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 01 16 at 07:09 PM • permalinkSpiny Norman, a frequently repeated claim by the warmening crowd is, that as solar radiation hasn’t increased in the last 35 years, this is proof the sun hasn’t contributed to recent warmening.
If you look at multi-year average of global temperature changes (ignoring the unreliability of such measures) then surprise, surprise the only significant warmening in the last 50 years or so, occured as a step change about 35 years ago.
Yep, right about the time we were hearing dire predictions of a New Ice Age from many of the same Chicken Littles . . .
Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 01 16 at 07:39 PM • permalinkDear Rebecca:
I would love to send you my banking account information, more so in view of your generous offer. However, I’m afraid I cannot do it at this time. My bank account, which usually topped US $50,000 in cash, is not accesible to me at this moment. This happened after I sent the account information to a wonderful Somali lady who wanted to use it to deposit $50,000,000 of her family’s fortune to save it from her country’s turmoil.
After the troubles are over, she will withdraw $49,000,000 from my account and leave me $1,000,000 for helping her. As soon as I can figure out why I can’t access my account, I will send you the information.
Best regards,

Posted by Art Vandelay on 2007 01 16 at 08:13 PM • permalinkO/T, but have you guys ever heard of this creep, mentioned over at the Jawa Report? Seems to be posting from Australia.
Y’know, with Algore wandering around with his globAL GOREming, I’m thinking we need to play a new game similar to this one.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 01 16 at 08:54 PM • permalink#50, paco, If he lives in Tully as his bio says, he’s likely to be a rainforest-dwelling hippy living off unemployment benefits in order to be free to attend any anti-whatever protest going. Tully is a beautiful little town in tropical far-north Queensland that is unfortunately infested with tree-huggers. It’s also the wettest town in Australia, in more ways than rainfall.
The big news here is the Kathy Mattea is still alive! Haven’t heard a peep from her since about 1989 when she covered a Nancy Griffith song!
Who else is on Gore’s team, Hank Williams Sr.?
Posted by Shaky Barnes on 2007 01 16 at 09:49 PM • permalinkIt was so cold in Minnesota this morning(-15F) my truck was frozen and would not start. When I took vehicle 2 to put air in the tire, my hand was instantly frozen after picking up the air doohicky. I had no feeling for about three hours.
Interestingly enough, there has been no stories about global warming in the local media since the temps dipped below 15F.
God I love this weather.
#20, no kidding, I think Al Gore must’ve had a secret mission to Texas and Mexico recently, anyone know his travel itinerary? Is he smuggling illegals in his spare time?
Posted by Shaky Barnes on 2007 01 16 at 09:54 PM • permalinkHere’s some great pictures of Texas ice and snow. Al-Gore must be fit to be tied!
It’s snowing!#57 Patricia: I can authenticate those pictures even if Ann Althouse can’t. The same fate met my car this afternoon. Must be a record here, three snow days.
Wronwright, did Algore make a stealthy trip to Austin and San Antonio? We of warm climes are house-bound and slip-sliding around.
Got the scoop, Wronwright?? Inquiring minds want to know.

“It’s also the wettest town in Australia, in more ways than rainfall.”
At the risk of kicking off WW3 (or is that continuing the epic battle?), Tully is not the wettest town in Australia. Babinda owns that title and has the Golden Gumboot award (displayed proudly in the window of the local Post Office) to prove it. A massive 5446 mm of rain was measured in the gauge in 2006, nearly 1.4 metres ahead of Tully ... that’s just on 214 1/2 inches or not far short of 18 feet of rain for you non metrics up yonder. Global moistening perhaps?
It may well claim the title in the ways other than rainfall though.
Retiring to lead lined bunker and firmly closing door ...#59 galenmk: why the hell don’t you capture it so that Australia can become the continent it was meant to be with 300MM population?? My understanding is that the reason it is at 28MM is because of water. You go, girl! Bambinda is the future, surely enough!
Posted by Kathy from Austin on 2007 01 17 at 12:54 AM • permalinkAnyone heard of this crowd? [part of an Australian job advertisement:
The Hawke Research Institute for Sustainable Societies (HRISS) delivers excellent cross-disciplinary research in the Humanities and Social Sciences that supports an ecologically diverse and sustainable world of tolerant and inclusive democratic societies.
Wow!! You mean such a world exists already?
Maybe a Front for Goreism?I have never heard of Kathy Mattea, but I just looked her up on iTunes and had a listen to her sample tracks.
Nice voice. Pity she is a ratbag.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2007 01 17 at 07:21 AM • permalink#60 - Kathy from Austin - A cousin of mine lives in Austin, I hope to visit next summer, if it doesn’t snow. 8-) Cousin in Cheyenne helped her son move to Nevada just before the storm. I’m assuming they’re ok because my aunt hasn’t called. My brother chases trains & has sent me some LOVELY pics of the beauty in Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, & a couple other places I don’t remember right now.
I’ve become a real wimp, living in NEFlorida all this time - but I remember the ice storm in 1979 (New Years Eve?) when I lived in Dallas, & I prefer not to do that at my age, thanks.

Those people obviously weren’t listening.
