Couldn't have happened to a better con artist! Unfortunately, this article indicates that the hearing will still happen, just later. Maybe they can wait until the hottest summer day? This is simply ridiculousness of the highest order.Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the 'urgent need' to combat global warming. But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.
A 'Winter Storm Watch' has been posted for the nation's capitol and there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations. "I can't imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside," a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. "And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel."
A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans. Global warming advocates have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change.
On a related note, I would point out that the 'advocates' (whoever they are): "..have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change." Note the climate change, versus global warming (hasn't the climate ALWAYS changed?). The changing of the narrative maybe? Wasn't it not long ago that the AP said that the cooling trend is proof of global warming? Why yes. Yes they did! From that article:
Ironically, 2008 is on pace to be a slightly cooler year in a steadily rising temperature trend line. Experts say it's thanks to a La Nina weather variation. While skeptics are already using it as evidence of some kind of cooling trend, it actually illustrates how fast the world is warming.Need I say more?
