the Algore Effect

I think God has a brilliant sense of humor.

For several years now, skeptics have amusedly eyed a phenomenon known as “The Gore Effect” to half-seriously argue their case against global warming.

The so-called Gore Effect happens when a global warming-related event, or appearance by the former vice president and climate change crusader, Al Gore, is marked by exceedingly cold weather or unseasonably winter weather.

That's right, Al Gore could be the cause of a coming ice age. He's dramatically cooling the earth at an alarming rate.

Excuse me as I laugh myself all the way to my thermostat. It's a bit chilly in here.
