‘Gore Effect’ Strikes the Cancun Climate Change Summit

This “Gore Effect” update is brought to you by Carhartt.

One thing’s for certain: Ixchtel, the Mayan Moon Goddess to which the global warming summit people are praying, is not only wearing her insulated bra and heated underwear in Cancun this week, but she also has a helluva sense of humor.

Today’s irony overdose courtesy of Ice Age Now:

“With the UN Climate Change Conference underway in Cancun to discuss the dangers of Global Warming, the resort host location is experiencing its third straight day of record cold temperatures,” says reader Richard Nathan.

Today the mercury fell to 53F in Cancun. The record for this date – 57F – was set in 2000.

Yesterday, the temperature in Cancun fell to 53F, a new record, and on Dec 5th it fell to 51F, yet another new record.

Here’s a screen cap of yesterday’s record low in Cancun from Weather Underground by way of Watts Up With That:

Don’t worry though. When the summit attendees from almost 200 countries fire up their jets to fly home, I’m sure things will warm up just a little.

Related Update: Al Gore now promoting a “biblical basis for our engagement with global warming.”

    Apone: What do you want me to do, fetch your slippers for you?
    Hudson: Gee, would you sir? I’d like that.

    Spaceycakes = you may have a point there: Ixchtel: “Itch ‘n Tell” Sounds like someone who tattles on who gave what to whom!

    I’ve heard my dad say “It’s colder than a witch’s tit!”, but I had never heard of anyone else saying that until now.

    It is rather amusing how record low temperatures seem to follow Al Gore around the globe, isn’t it?

    God has a great sense of humor. You aint seen nothin yet! This is going to get better!! Oh, and I just heard this a.m. that some scientists are predicting a mini ice age just around the corner. Fire up those jets, folks…we must prevent that ice age!!

    The old saying was: Cold as a witch’s tit in a brass bra, cold as a well-diggers a$$ in the Klondike, cold as than the ba!!s on a brass monkey.

    Many years ago, I heard a weatherman on TV start his forecast by saying that he had his first witch, well-digger, and brass monkey warning for the year.

    If I could have predicted the weather climate, I would have offered to become the official vendor of Mexican hoodies with the conference logo on them. Probably would have made a killing from those suckers.

    The sweaters, that is.

    Regarding Al’s Book Club pick:

    the deep biblical basis for our engagement with global warming

    So the Bible explains how you engage with a planet. Well, if you love it so much, why don’t you just marry it? On second thought, no one wants to see that, and no one wants to do that.

    I repeat, no one wants to do that. Don’t do it, people. Marriage is between a man and a woman, not a man and an earth.

    Yea I know it keeps getting colder…some what awkward…and they lied and cheated on the “facts” that they base this conference, summit…what ever they are calling it. But all they ask is that WE give up our way of living and do without food, heat, transportation and a few other little things. Is that to much to ask? To give these poor little people some self-esteem?

    Most of the people at conference are truly idiots as confirmed by the fact that some even fell for signing a petition to ban water (dihydrogen oxide) .. AGAIN!

    But they are not just idiots – they are USEFUL idiots who could not possibly have the slightest grasp of what I suspect is the true evil agenda behind all of this green crap – starve the third world out of existence.

    Every other word out of their collective mouth concerns extorting us to pay off the third world for the damage we caused them that has resulting from our CO2 emissions.

    Forget that such damage is non existent. Ignore the fact that there’s no actual evidence that extra CO2 causes global warming, (plenty to suggest global warming causes more CO2 however). What’s important is how it would decimate the free world economy and the impact that would have on the third world who is already heavily reliant, (thanks mostly to liberals who prop up socialist thug dictators), on free rich countries for their survival.

    Sink our economy and not only will there be no surplus to pay the carbon extortion money, the current level of aid will also drop by the wayside resulting in massive third world starvation.

    That’s what the socialist Al Gores and Maurice Strongs of this world truly want. They aren’t really concerned about CO2, they know CO2 is good for all living things but they also know that most of the real air and water pollution hurting their precious mother Gaia is coming from these third world countries who cannot possibly afford the price of sound ecological practices the way we can.

    The salvation of the third world will never be found in carbon taxes, it resides in our US Constitution. Freedom is what affords us the ability to clean up after ourselves and have a comparatively low and stable population; it will work in the third world just as well. Socialism results in an excess of miserable starving masses and thugs ultimately faced with the task of what to ‘do’ about them.

    We just have to find a way to expose these stinking lying commies and force them to admit their true agenda to kill off a lot of people. And not just ten’s of millions like Stalin and Mao did – these new-age socialists want to kill off BILLIONS of people.

    It’s probably why Al Gore got his Peace Prize – who is more peaceful than the dead?
