GORE EFFECT WORSE THAN EVER
Widespread eastern-US viewings of An Inconvenient Truth provoke the usual result:
The most powerful snowstorm of the winter has pummelled the eastern United States and parts of Canada, sticking an icy dagger into the heart of Valentine’s Day.
“Thanks for all the global warming, Al! You rock!”
Blizzard warnings were out in the north-eastern US as heavy snows and high winds were expected to cut visibility to near zero, the NWS said, amid warnings that, with the wind chill factor, temperatures on Thursday could drop below minus 29 degrees in New York state and Vermont.
How cold will it be on February 25 in Los Angeles, when Al Gore turns up to collect his Oscar? Make your predictions here.
UPDATE. “Apparently, all that is needed to combat Goebbel Warmening is merely the invocation of Al Gore’s name.”
UPDATE II. The Gore Effect explained: “It’s like a heat exchanger in an air conditioning unit.”
Fuggin hell. That is a funny picture. Someone needs to calculate the odds of the Algore Effect; it’s just to eerie to be coincidence. I sure hope that his future travel plans have been programmed into those big ol’ computers that are all telling us we’re going to drown while being boiled to death.
At least with all the snow falling and requirement to stay fully rugged up in the winter covering equivalent of the burqa the Yanks have the opportunity to get in some early, cold weather practice for when they become part of the Umma.

It’s one degree F in my town, the trees look like they’re made out of glass, and my house is popping and creaking like a 90 year old millionaire chasing a blonde bimbo.
Taking a risk here, that the above picture is not you, or that you don’t have that, dare I say, “icy glare” that gives the impression of, “open your mouth and you’re a dead SOB.”
Hope all stays together and hang in there. Hey, Spring is just around the corner.
I hope the wind chill in LA is 32. I’d even watch the pre-show for that.
So would I, just not for the same reasons. Think of all those actresses parading through the cold temperatures in thin to non-existant dresses…....

My sister in New Jersey has been complaining all season about the dearth of ski-able snow. I sent her a two word email yesterday: happy now?
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 02 15 at 01:24 PM • permalinkShe has skiable snow most of the winter just down the street from her condo (where she can see the slopes from her balcony). Yes, the Poconos. And she usually gets her “ass” up to Vermont about once a month, but even they haven’t exactly been awash in the stuff this season.

Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 02 15 at 03:39 PM • permalinkIt’s climbed to 10 degrees (F) here, and the storm is mostly over, thank God. Fourteen inches of snow and flurries through Sunday predicted, but no more heavy storms.
No ice storms though.
Posted by rightwingprof on 2007 02 15 at 03:54 PM • permalinkThe ground around my house in Vermont has been covered with snow for at least five solid weeks. My daughter has been snowboarding for at least that many weekends, and hasn’t been bitching about condidtions. I can see both Jay Peak and Mount Mansfield (Stowe, Bolton) from my office here, they have been white a lot longer, and snow’s a lot deeper too.
The problem with skiers is that they think that if there is no snow around them, there is no snow anywhere.
#8, El Cid, no, the Skull Death Mask of Murder is not I. But there are people here who live in warmer climes who are GLOATING, and Al Gore is still parading around the world strewing blizzards behind him, so you could say that the Skull Death Mask of Murder describes my housebound, cabin-fever driven desire to commit mayhem.
There was a character in Catch 22—an Indian chief, I don’t have a copy to hand—that struck oil anytime he stopped to sit anywhere. So the oil companies would follow him around and drill for oil wherever he sat.
Then they got into the game of trying to guess where he was going to go next, and they would start drilling before he got there. Except most of the time where they were drilling wasn’t where he was going.
Now, all of this is directly applicable to Al Gore, but I’m damned if I know how.
Hmmm.
What’s really astonishing is that the guy’s glare works if you cover half the face.
That is one seriously pissed off person.
Posted by memomachine on 2007 02 15 at 08:57 PM • permalinkJonathon, I think it was Chief Halfwhiteoat. And they followed his family around because everywhere they settled the companies struck oil and pushed them out. Then the companies started trying to guess where they would be settling and drilled there. Finally, the family was totally surrounded by oil-drilling companies waiting for them to move and settle again. The Chief was drafted and lifted out by helicopter and never saw his family again.
The Chief also promised Captain Black that he’d ‘slit his throat from ear to ear’ one night when the Captain was asleep, so Capt Black quit sleeping. The Chief also promised to die of pneumonia (in Italy, of all places) and Capt Black kept checking to see if the Chief had died yet.

Posted by andycanuck on 2007 02 15 at 10:42 PM • permalinkBREAKING NEWS!!!
(I hope.)
Guess what! Algore’s gonna rock out in Antarctica!!!!!
The concerts will take place in Sydney, Australia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai, China; London, England; Kyoto, Japan; Johannesburg, South Africa; and a U.S. city that has yet to be determined, Wall said. Gore added that the campaign even plans to stage the first-ever rock concert on Antarctica.
I wonder if Algore realizes the problems he is in for? Even in the summer, that place is cold; getting there is an expensive, logistical nightmare; and it’s supposed to be a “pristine” continent, which he can’t help but pollute by going there for a concert. How is that going to help out Mother Gaia™?
The left, lightyears beyond parody.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 02 15 at 11:33 PM • permalink#42 - With any luck he will be snowed in for decades.
We really need to get on to this Gore guy before it’s too late. Do you realise how many silly things I’ve said with the caveat “when hell freezes over” attached? I’m ruined.
