The chief climate propagandist at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) surely must be saying to himself, “Man, I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing greenhouse gasses.”
No sooner did the newest IPCC “climate report” predicting massive global warming doom hit the streets, than the weather decided to turn cold and snow on Easter weekend. Events were canceled, folks either endured 30° temperatures for outdoor Easter Sunrise Services (or went inside) and baseball games were snowed out. All this on the heels of the most dire report to date.
It seems that whenever there is a major “climate doom and gloom” event, actual weather phenomena say “not so fast.” Things like freezing temperatures in springtime and snowfall in Malibu tend to reinforce the notional Gore Effect.
Twenty years from now, Al Gore‘s histrionics will be all for naught since neither Greenland nor Antarctica will melt causing the oceans to rise and flood the world’s lowlands. The band of cartographers poised to “redraw the map of the planet” will simply not be needed. Top scientists often scoff at Gore, calling his crusade out for what it is — a sham.
The IPCC Report is yet another “over-represented” view of nature and the effects allegedly caused by mankind. The ultimate goal is to extort industrialized nations and to sell the idea of pyramid schemes like Gore’s “carbon offsets.”
