One cold snap and...

The mini ice-age begins... although I think an ice-age is much more likely than global warming, and although an ice-age would be much, much worse news for Mankind than global warming, why can't somebody just report the current weather and leave the weather 50 or 100 years from now alone for awhile.

I think I predicted awhile back that after a few more cold years Al Gore would end up leaving the country because people would make fun of him wherever he goes... looks like it's already started:

As the Gore party started walking out of the room, my colleague called out, "Hey, Al, how's all that global warming working out for you?" Gore turned around and stared at us with a completely dumbfounded look on his face. He was speechless. With a smile, my colleague repeated the question, again to a hapless look of dismay.

Mr. Gore has linked himself to, and profited from, the idea that the Earth is warming.  Cold is hard.  Cold is difficult.  Cold is expensive and Gore has set himself up to be an object of derision when winter seeps under the door instead of summer breezes.
