GORE EFFECT CHILLS CHILE
Reported in May:
After months of build up, the wait is finally over. Environmental superstar Al Gore, a former U.S. senator and vice president, is finally visiting Chile – albeit for just a handful of hours.
And that’s all it took:
The months of May and June have been the coldest the country has seen for the past 20 years ...
Regional Chile was also affected by the cold, experiencing record low temperatures and heavy snowfall. Snow even fell in the port cities of Valparaíso and Puerto Montt.
UPDATE. An impassioned plea from Dave Wane:
Al Gore go away,
Find some other place to stay,We like it hot and we don’t care,
We not want live like polar bear.
