GORE LATEST

Al Gore and his notorious Effect have left town; Sydney’s skies are currently almost entirely cloudless, with beautiful sunny weather forecast for the weekend.

UPDATE. Clear skies also reported in Melbourne and Canberra. Gore is now in Perth, which so far is proving Effect resistant. So far.

  1. Yup - the skies are currently clear and blue in Melbourne as well.

  2. Lovely and blue in Canberra too.

    Using the leftwing definition, it sounds like we have reached scientific consensus on the Al Gore Effect.

  3. #2 The debate on the Gore Effect is over!

  4. #2,
    Well we now have a total of 3 data points, that should be enough to extrapolate hundreds of years into the future.....

  5. Even better, we have NO data which contradicts our theory. Which is more than can be said for AGW.....

    I hereby demand that anyone that disputes the Al Gore Effect should be burned at the stake, like the medieval denialists that they are.

  6. I see a single black cloud hovering over Moonbat central in my local city.  The Al Gore Effect typifies Moonbats: pessimistic, cloudy, glass half empty etc.

  7. Remember that Sunrise campaign you’ve posted twice on?

    They’re about to be verified carbon neutral (1st TV show), including their competitions.

    It might be worth pursuing an issue in slightly more depth before posting about it.

  8. There was a storm in Perth alright- Gilchrist scored 131 vs Qld off 95 balls.

    Not all storms look the same, you see…

    In other cricket news, injuries to Martyn and Watson and for England, Harmison, are going to make mess of various First Test plans. Tomorrow I’m going to see Shawn Tait and see what he can do.

    They’re all going to commit suicide? Man, that Glass House cancellation is really having an effect…

  13. It may be sunny in Perth, but after a dry winter, there was a brief torrential thunderstorm over Kalgoorlie last night, bucketing down with rain.... possible induced by the vapour trails of Gore’s jet.  More please.

  15. #7 Blow it out your arse.

    Perhaps one of the most apt and perceptive posts in a long while.

    T’s    :  You realise that being “Carbon Neutral” doesn’t mean that they don’t pollute, don’t you?  It only means that the neutral-one pays some-one else to plant trees, supposedly to aborb the CO2 that the neutral-one emits.  Except its only a temporary store, not a disposal.  When the tree dies, it re-emits the CO2 its stored.  So much for “carbon neutral”.

    You. absolute. fuckwit.

    The rich can continue to pollute as much as they want (like Al Gore with his private jets and multiple, air conditioned houses.) Its only the poor who have to give up their jobs and 20th century lifestyle and go back to living in caves.

    Try considering THAT before you post in future.

    Ts:  You. absolute. fuckwit.

  16. Nicely put, SCD.

    #7, becoming carbon neutral sounds like the 21st century equivalent of buying an indulgance (which is kind of apt given the religious nature of global warming and the fervour of its followers).

    Let me ask you this, to get your indulgence, did you have to kiss High Priest Gore’s ring?

  17. I wonder if the ex-veep is gonna enter his jet in the red bull air race in Perth this weekend. should be a helluva show - 400 k/h at 50 feet between the pylons. now that sorta thing tends to concentrate the mind

  18. No medja coverage for Gore effect deniers!

  19. #16: Ha! That guy was definitely in the geneological line of Pacos. The analogy with indulgences is inspired, incidentally.

  20. I favor Nuremberg-style trials for the Gore Effect deniers.  This has the advantage of keeping the World Court busy and out of everybody else’s hair, as well as cleansing society of unbelievers.

  21. Let me ask you this, to get your indulgence, did you have to kiss High Priest Gore’s ring?

    I suspect that envirotards like multiple-t kiss more than just Algore’s ring.

  23. And God said, “Let there be light,” and Al Gore left.

  24. So he’s in Perth? The Effect hasn’t cut in yet? That’s OK, be patient, you can keep him as long as you like. Really. No need to rush sending him back.

  25. The Global Warming religion is still waiting for their equivalent of Martin Luther to nail 99 feces to Al’s door, it seems.

  29. Like I’ve said before, planting trees to become carbon neutral is a cop out.

    Just like a kiddie fiddler donating money to an orphanage to absolve him from his paedophilic ways.

  30. I even read that it snowed in Brisbane. It’d better warm up before I get there.

    Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2006 11 17 at 07:56 PM • permalink

  31. Wimpy, it didn’t snow in Brisbane.  It never snows in Brisbane.

    Queensland is somewhat like Florida in climate, which was why it was unusual to get snow on the southern border two weeks out of summer.

    It snows in Queensland as much as it does in Florida.

    That’s the Gore Effect.

  32. Those weather forecasts are hilarious:  Monday:  fine.  Tuesday:  fine.

    Now that’sa way to improve your accuracy!

    Posted by Kathy from Austin on 2006 11 17 at 08:53 PM • permalink

  33. Tim, in the interests of accuracy, I must point out that Al Gore has nothing to do with this effect.

    It is simply proof that God digs irony.

    Ask Tim B....brrrrrrrrrrrrr (or noula)

    Blair news makes the weather.  Watch our Tim B weather guy tonight at 6 doing a rain dance !!!

  36. He’ll be wearing nudie feathers for his rain dance, unlike Grant D, who will only put his head up a snowman’s bum to make it snow. Our Tim B will do the dance in the nuddy.

  37. #7, becoming carbon neutral sounds like the 21st century equivalent of buying an indulgance (which is kind of apt given the religious nature of global warming and the fervour of its followers).

    Hear that “whack” sound? That was a hammer hitting a nail square on the head.

  38. On his radio show just now, Rush Limbaugh read Tim’s “Weather God” post from Wednesday.

    Whoa! Do you Aussies know how big that is? I’m not a huge fan of his, but a citation by El Rushbaugh? Huge!

    This little Australian blog is getting pretty big.

  39. #37, Dave, I can’t claim credit for the indulgences analogy, I’m pretty sure someone here came up with it several months ago.

    #19, Paco, I just knew that the Paco clan had something to do with it!

    By the way, have you considered a merger between your carbon credits business and your timber plantation interests?

    That way, you could get gullible greenies to subsidise a large portion of your plantation operation (of course you wouldn’t want to tell them that you’re ultimately going to chop down the trees in the end).
