Gore Effect
The Gore Effect is an informal and satirical term which alleges a causal relationship between unseasonable cold weather phenomena and global warming activism,〔〔〔 with particular emphasis on events attended by former Vice President of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore.〔〔 Usage started when a speech of Al Gore on a global warming rally held in New York City met extremely cold winter weather in January 2004〔〔 and according Andrew Bolt after another Gore speech took place on a strikingly cold day in Boston in the same year.〔
While Steve Benen of the ''Washington Monthly'' called focus on the claim "insulting",〔 CNN metereologist Rob Marciano describes use of the effect as a mere running gag among weather forecasters: "It's the Al Gore effect. I mean that - that's - in the weather community, we kind of joke about it. It's just a bad timing. Every time there's some big weather climate conference, there seems to be a cold outbreak. ... But, globally, we are still warming.〔"
== Definition ==
The Toronto-based national newspaper ''Globe and Mail'' defined the term in 2007 quoting a user's submission to the online ''Urban Dictionary'' website as "the phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming."〔 According to an article at the Politico website: "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."〔Erika Lovly, "(Tracking 'The Gore Effect' )," ''Politico.com'' 25 Nov. 2008.
