The phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Hence, the Gore Effect. Since Al Gore has become the commander-in-chief for those warning about the dangers of global warming, his detractors delight in noting coincidences between events relating to his favorite subject and severe winter weather.
Instances of the gore effect have happened most recently at COP15 When blizzards dumped 4 inchs of snow overnight on the capital and in an interview on CNN on 12/09/09 in which he warned of the impending catastrophe of global warming only to be followed by Kiran Chetry reporting of a "monster storm paralyzing travel in more than a dozen states" with "winter still two weeks away".
The first recorded event was during a global warming rally in January 2004 in New York City, which was held during one of the coldest days in the city's history.
Since that fateful day, evidence has continued to mount suggesting a correlation between global warming activism and severely cold weather.
Other known events are:
- In Salt Lake City on 12/30/09 a protest against the failure of the COP15 talks had to be called off after a blizzard hit the city . The organizer Clea Major said afterwards "There is always the irony element"
- In October 2008 London saw the first October snow fall since 1922 while the House of Commons debated the Climate Change Bill.
- That same month Al Gore's appearance at Harvard University coincided with low temperatures that challenged 125-year records.
On November 17, 2006 al flew into Victoria_(Australia) to warn about global warming and Victoria got snow in november
