THIS IS GETTING TOO EASY
• Al Gore visits England to talk about global warming; the Gore Effect kicks in immediately.
• Al Gore returns to the US to testify about global warming; a familiar coldening results.
UPDATE. Blue State Sil reports:
Current weather reports have my area (the wilds of Western Taxachusetts) pegged for up to 28 inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon. I just spent a half-hour making what should be a ten-minute drive home from work after standing in the wind brushing five inches of global warming off my vehicle. If I saw the Goracle or one of his Gorons right now, I’d be going to jail for assault, because I’d beat the stupid SOB half to death with a snow brush.
UPDATE II. Filcan sends pictures of an earlier Gore-induced snowblast.
Two days ago it was approximately 70F/21C. At the moment? Snowing so hard I can barely see across the street. We’re expected to have a foot by mid-morning tomorrow.
Should have known Gore was back.

Posted by Old Tanker on 2007 03 16 at 03:00 PM • permalinkEl Cid, I was basking in the upper-50s temps this week as I wondered where the Goreminator was. We had a horrible record-low cold snap after his Oscar win, so the break in the cold was welcome. Should have known he was out of the hemisphere. Now the temps are plunging back into the teens and twenties with a wicked winter storm ahead of the Gorefront. God damn it.
It’s uncanny. It cannot be denied. Mock the Gore Effect at your own peril. I’m going to plan my vacations around this guy’s schedule.
Isn’t it time to toss the Goreacle into an open strip mining pit or a CO2 belching coal plant tower to appease the climate god? He’s becoming a real menace.
(Listen, I feel for you Northeasters, but do those of us in the West a favor, wouldja? Tie Al to an SUV steering wheel or something and keep him there. No reason for the whole planet to suffer.)
Posted by Kyda Sylvester on 2007 03 16 at 03:44 PM • permalinkThis storm started somewhere in the South, where the gorbot uses 20 times the energy as the average American family. He flew to the UK from NYC. Now we have the mother of all winter storms creating gore all over the highways. Quite a mess.
Gore on the road. Roads covered with gore. Coincidence? You decide.My letter to Sports Illustrated:
-----
The SI cover jinx strikes again! The same week you publish your ridiculous global warming cover, I see news reports that last February was one of the coldest on record. And that same week, the country was in the middle of a record cold snap. Maybe you should have shown Dontrelle encased in pack ice.
I subscribe to Sports Illustrated, not Left-Wing Apocalyptic Fantasy Du Jour.
Rick Reilly is bad enough, but the rot seems to have spread to the entire editorial department. I won’t cancel my subscription, but don’t bother sending a renewal notice. Seriously. To quote your hectoring cover, “Time to Pay Attention.”Yup. It was 64 Tuesday. Last night, it started snowing. It’s been snowing all day. It’s still snowing. And it’s supposed to snow all night tonight and all day tomorrow.

We’re past the stage of debate and now it’s time for action. I used to think all that Gore Effect thing was just scaremongering. Too many uncertainties involved, and I admit I didn’t want to believe it was happening. But this week I could actually feel the temperature dropping and now I’m, say, 90% certain. Face it people, Goreal Coolening is real.

Others may correct me where I’m wrong on this but my understanding is:
Since the arab has basically failed to advance past your early iron age in such issues as toilet paper, soap, general hygiene, etc., the left hand is reserved for arse wiping. Everything else is done with the right hand.
Journalists may be a more common target because there are so many silly dumbasses in that industry that truly believe themselves to exist outside the boundaries of cause and effect and therefore, tend to wander up to islamofascists and basically volunteer themselves as beheadees.

Also, polar bear food.
No snow here in southwest Ohio so far, but Mother Gaia is obviously having a tantrum. All the rivers in Ohio are out of their banks.
Other global warming news:
Reuters:This has been the world’s warmest winter since record-keeping began more than a century ago, the U.S. government agency that tracks weather reported on Thursday.
That same US agency:
The December 2006-February 2007 U.S. winter season had an overall temperature that was near average, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center.
So the US is safe from gerbil thawing for another year. It is those bloody Europeans pumping out greenhouse gases printing copies of the Kyoto Agreement and filling their skies with thousands of climatologists flying around to conferences who are the problem, chasing away the snow and forcing Poms to holiday at home where the weather is better. But mainly it was the perfectly natural El Nino effect.
O/T remember david hicks dad & his jail cell in the streets of new york? well the freedom loving czechs are doing something similar for a good cause not a shite one
Winter Park, Florida, regional. Which is aptly named, by the way… The Algoron must have sneezed our way or something, after highs in the 80s* all week, tomorrow the high will be in the low 60s and the lows in the mid-40s.
*All temps in Fahrenheit, the Real Man’s temperature measurement system.

Posted by Blue State Sil on 2007 03 16 at 09:04 PM • permalinkLast month, Al Gore came to Toronto to preach about his global warning gospel. The result was disastrous, weatherwise. Take a look here:

Previously, I routinely dismissed this as pure coincidence. Now I am not so sure. Still I’m amused by the uncanniness of the timing of these sudden weather changes. Gore is coming to Toronto again on March 24th. I’ll keep an eye on weather developments here and perhaps update you folks about it.
"Al Gore visits England to talk about global warming; the Gore Effect kicks in immediately. Al Gore returns to the US to testify about global warming; a familiar coldening results.”

There was little coverage of a recent debate between pro- and anti-global warming camps, which given the outcome is probably unsurprising.

Don’t get me started. The stupid hippies are all up in arms about Tallahassee’s lack of ‘culture’. Their solution is to build a $50M “cultural center”. Yeah. That’ll fix the problem. Everyone knows the secret to culture is:
1) Cheap rent
2) Cheap pot
3) Bars that pay for live music in free beer#35, Old Tanker, it is a small world indeed. But of course, my time there was twenty years ago. Now all I remember about Jackson was Spring Arbor College, where I finished up my bachelor’s, SMSP the largest prison in the world, the fact that Jackson cemented over the river than ran through town, and a really good Pizza Hut in nearby Albion.
Just to keep on topic, I also remember frigidly cold winters knee-deep in lake-effect snow. No Gore needed, and no goreball worming either.
Belgian cat fight over Al Gore!
Last week, a big row broke out in the federal government of Belgium. The reason? Al Gore and his campaign on climate change. But it was not about measures to limit CO2 emissions that the government ministers were quarreling. No, they were fighting about this picture which appeared in the Belgian press:

Posted by Spiny Norman on 2007 03 16 at 11:44 PM • permalinkLike can you be a registered Democrat voter in both New York and Florida, does that apply to Maine and Massachusett’s
Voting here is a quaint formality. Our RINO senators are an anomoly; if you’re a Democrat, you win.
It would be depressing as hell if not for the occasional incident of enormous hilarity. For example, the city of Portland (motto: We’re the One with the Ocean on the Other Side, But Otherwise Identical) recently passed a law to keep national chain stores out of the city. The stated reason was to preserve Portland’s unique cultural yadda yadda yadda, but it was really prompted by plans to put a Hooters downtown (this was of grave concern to
dumpy, pasty, smelly patchouli lesbiansprogressive people worried aboutlooking like fetid lumps of garbage compared to the cute Hooters girlsthe objectification of women.)And what was the second item on the agenda at that meeting? Developing a strategy to attract businesses to the vacant storefront properties downtown.
I shit you not. You can’t buy comedy like that.
So, Portland is safe from successful national chains, and will continue to supply your candle-and-kite-shop needs.
PS - for furrin types who may not know, Hooters is a national restaurant chain that features unbelievably cute waitresses in semi-low-cut shirts and short-shorts.
I’ve been twice, and the girls were very nice, rather wholesome-looking girl-next-door types. Despite the name ("hooters" is seppo slang for breasts), they’re not comically busty, and the restaurants aren’t in the least bit sleazy. They get undeserved crap from the usual stick-up-their-asses types on the Left and Right (incidentally, no complaints on the Portland plan from the Christian Right, so good on ya, Maine Christians!)
Jeez, I could have saved myself a lot a writing; Hooters girl offers protester a refreshing soft drink.

What you seppo’s need is a camp tax payer funded natonal broadcaster in both radio and tv that spews out unending leftwing crap, then you’ll know waht crap is.
But we do! NPR and PBS . . . it’s just that no one but the clueless Leftist busybodies pay any attention to them.

Dammit it was 70 degrees not more than a couple days ago. Now there’s a frigging lake of icy dirty slush in front of the house.
Someone chain Al Gore to a tree in Alaska. The bloody twit is a complete climate menace.

Here.
“The world and human society face disaster to a worse extent, and on a faster timescale, than almost anybody realises, he believes. He writes: “ Before this century is over, billions of us will die, and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.”Anyone want to try and top that??
Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 03 17 at 02:38 AM • permalinkYou know we’re going to pay for this, right tim?
Summer is just around the corner for us folks north of the equator. A few more months from now, every idiot who mutters about how all these inconvenient cold snaps don’t actually prove anything about global warming will be on a soapbox. Shouting. That it is hot. In the summertime.
RE #57, Dave, I believe that Detroit did the same thing a couple decades ago, except their reasoning was, “No big business that doesn’t have an African-American on their executive board”.
The results: A few fast food stores, and no major retails for years. I think they are finally recovering from that act of economic suicide.
Anyone from Detroit want to confirm or deny this?
Back O/T: No winter right now here in eastern Washington, but the temps keep on getting warm one day and cold the next. We still have snow falling in the mountains!
Algore, stay in Europe, huh?

can I do it that way?For all Gore-bal’s diatribes about the cave-dwelling mouth-breathers of the population not handing over their livelihood for the Good of All (TM), perhaps he should stop callously diverting funds from mental health research to his global climate-changening publicity whoring. It seems to me our poor Mother Gaia is suffering not from CO2 emissions, but more likely from Bipolar Disorder with her radical changes in behavior and demeanor. Perhaps we commoners can stem her rage not by Carbon Credits, but by investing in brave pharmaceutical companies; “Klonopin Credits,” we might call them.
Cedar Rapids, IA, for me. The weather isn’t so much bad as bipolar; it’s nice, warm and sunny out right now, but two weeks ago we were buried up to our eyeballs in rain, snow, hail, fog, sleet, fifty-mile-an-hour winds, and deep darkness. If Gore was passing through the Midwest during that time, I would not be surprised.
Posted by Tungsten Monk on 2007 03 17 at 12:57 PM • permalinkBy the way, if it wasn’t apparent, I’m from Boston, where we got anywhere from 8-12 inches of snow, follow by sleet, ice, and freezing rain, which makes for a delightfully slushy sight outsight, with an equally pleasant commute!
I also go to university in Buffalo. Pity me. From the October Surprise “thunder-snow” which got me a week off school(and the heat, cable, and electrcity in half my apartment knocked out) and full tree limbs blocking my jeep in the driveway (and all the roads in general), to the ice storm which glazed over every tree, branch, berry, stop sign, and car door with sheets of ice, to the non-stop snow from there on which really only ended recently (with frequent single-digit high-temp days, and almost no days which went above freezing), global warmi-eh, “climate change” has devastated Buffalo with such unpredictable, unusual weather for Western New York. Al Gore...Deliver us!
Wednesday evening, my kids went to dance class in t-shirts and shorts.
Today, at the Atlanta St. Patrick’s Day parade, we actually had to take the little kids off the parade float and bundle them into a heated SUV until the very last second. The float looked just perfect with a dozen small children huddled together under blankets.
Thanks, Al!
Actually Dave S., I go to Canisius College (some British students my younger siblings hosted here recently couldn’t understand why colleges and universities are the same things over here) I do, however, drink regularly on UB’s campus, which really is almost the same thing. We all drink Blue and Molson in Buffalo, that’s all that really matters.
1) You guys are having way too much fun.
2) Stop blaming Gore for local coldening. He’s doing his best to spew out those greenhouse gases to warm things up, dammit.
3) "Everyone knows the secret to culture is:

3) Bars that pay for live music in free beer"Hey. Free beer WORKS.

Don’t worry folks, I promise not to blow my own horn again in the near future but instead, just write comments like an ordinary person that I am, who has a bit to say, would. :-)
You are all great!... will that make up for my being a show-off?
