As if on cue with former Vice President Al Gore's arrival in Copenhagen, the site of the United Nation's climate summit is expected to receive heavy snowfall and bitter cold temperatures. With a bit of amusement some have pointed to the arrival of the cold weather as an example of the 'Gore Effect'.
In recent years, the term 'Gore Effect' has come to take note of unseasonable weather that seems to accompany the Nobel Laureate or when a significant global warming event is held. Since 2004 these coincidences occur with uncanny frequency. Gore arrived in Copenhagen yesterday and caused a stir in his first public event by claiming that all Arctic sea ice could disappear within five years.
The Dutch Meteorological Institute's forecast for Wednesday calls for heavy snowfall with high temperatures of only 35 degrees (2 degrees Celsius). Temperatures will continue to drop Thursday and winds will be between 25 and 30 mph causing wind chill temperatures in the teens. Friday's high temperature is forecast to stay below freezing and overnight lows will drop all the way to 10 degrees (-12 Celsius).
In recent weeks as Gore started to make a number of media appearances related to the release of his new book "Our Choice" and the Copenhagen summit, much of the United States was plunged into unusually cold weather.
I always thought Bill Clinton was the king of chutzpah to show his face in public after the Monica Lewinski affair, but Gore is right up there with him. This guy should be in hiding in a cave along the Afghanistan / Pakistan border where he can't be asked any embarrassing questions about his gross distortions of the truth. He has absolutely no shame. There has to be a place for him in the Obama adminstration.
Global Warming-IS- Human / Industrial Pollution
The best indisputable SCIENCE example that should be the #1 item on the Copenhagen Agenda would be the toxic waste dump, the size of Texas, 900 miles off of the United States and Canadian West Coast.

That is a Big SCIENCE problem with no dedicated U.S SCIENCE and INNOVATION DEPARTMENT to address the issue. The U.S (or Canada) has not even sent out a SCIENCE research vessel to evaluate this ecological disaster; neither country wants to take the responsibility for the industrial/human pollution or even acknowledge its existence.
No Profit-No Action!-No SCIENCE! Will the World Trade Organization and the New Industrial World Order address the issue? Where is their World SCIENCE Department? Advancement in SCIENCE would outmode the use of fossil fuels.
Can the problem be solved with SCIENCE? Probably so, Americans are very ingenious primarily because we were raised with the compliments of Freedom and Democracy and are free thinking individuals. We could probably figure a way to clean up the mess and possibly make a profit doing so.
We can do nothing until we have a DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE that is free to address SCIENCE and to develop the advancement of SCIENCE. (Yes, for the sake of humanity; SCIENCE FIRST-PANDERING SECOND.)
Is it true most of those attending Cop15 are not scientists? Just wondering... and why did Chavez receive a standing ovation?
Global freezing here in the UK. Never heard such rubbish about the climate.
Firstly we had the "hole in the ozone layer" which was apparently our fault but now, have you noticed, it has miraculously closed up?
Secondly we had the "global warming" claim and it was all OUR fault. Does not anyone know that it is the sun which heats our planet and we are responsible for only 2% of any harmful emissions?
Thirdly, it is the moon which dictates the ocean's tides. Ever heard "time and tide wait for no man"?
Therefore do Gordon Brown and that silly little man Gore think they can control the sun and moon in their "New World Order"? How arrogant. How foolish.
How dangerous these men really are in their political ambition.

I’ve been looking through the web for my research on this content. I read something about this at the Friendly news mashup Glad i stumbled across this site. Thanks for the share.
