GORE TO DECRY 'GLOBAL WARMING' ON NEW YORK CITY'S COLDEST DAY IN DECADE

In what political watchers are calling possibly the biggest gaffe in years, former Vice President Al Gore is set to give a speech tomorrow on the perils of global warming -- on what is expected to be the coldest day in New England in nearly half a century!

MORE

Against the advice of senior advisers, Gore is planning to appear at the historic Beacon Theatre in Manhattan on Thursday to issue an indictment of the Bush administration's "inaction on global warming."

Gore will make the warming case on a day forecasters are predicting the coldest temps in Boston since 1957, with wind chills in parts of New England plunging to 100 degrees below zero!

MORE

Even though forecasters predict Thursday night will bring the coldest temperature reading in New York City in more than 10 years [1 degree above zero], sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT that Gore is determined to deliver the speech -- hoping to make the case how "Global warming" is actually the cause of the record cold snap!

MORE

"The extreme conditions are actually the end result of the planet warming," Gore has told advisers, sources say, in explaining his motivations. "The Bush policies are leading to weather extremes."

Sources would not say whether the speech is to be given outdoors.

well if this is global warming bring on the global cooling from the 70's

Cool!

ermm, global warming is just the word used for the climate change, some areas will get hotter and some colder

Well, on AVERAGE the global temp rises.

As you say, there is more variance, and that is what AG was most likely referring to.

A global warming trend would have periods of unusually cold/cool weather in random locales.

Heh, good old Al. And to think I voted for him in 2000. If Sr. were still alive, he probably wouldn't be for much longer because he'd die laughing.

Seriously though, you've got to credit Jr. for promoting something he believes in, regardless of ... uh... conditions.

This is not a gaffe, it's a nitpick.

One would think even conservatives can understand a concept as simple as global warming. Guess I should stop overestimating them.

ONe would think liberals could understand irony. Guess we overestimated as well.

Global climate change . . . human (likely) activity distorting normal climate patterns. By definition, the coldest day in a decade in NYC is actually supporting evidence.

You'd think... except that there's no such thing as 'global warming'. But this thread was submitted to ridicule algore's latest gaffe, not to talk about the farcical atmospheric catastrophy that liberals think we're doomed because of.

Up until the late 70's these same people said we were in for another ice age. Ill come back in 20 years and see what they say then.

"Do you know what a gaffe is? Its when you tell the truth and Washington politicians can't stand it" - H.B. Dean

But seriously, there's no question that the earth is getting warmer. Why its getting warmer (due to natural or anthropogenic causes) is the question.

As above, and there is no question that weather is getting more extreme at a slight rate. The causes are a combination of natural planetary climate cycles, and human contribution that has been going on since the advent of domesticated agriculture and has unfortunately accelerated in recent decades. It's always lovely when fools ignore empircal data they don't like and call it junk science. Additionally, Dinosaur bones are trickery planted in the earth by Satan.

Just about everything is taken as proof by the scaremongering environmentalists.

If the ELF would quit lighting every thing on fire there wouldnt be a global warming problem.
