Too funny for words, though global-warming skeptic Roy Spencer gives it a shot:

Today’s my first full day in Cancun at COP-16, and as I emerged from my hotel room I was greeted by a brisk, dry, cool Canadian breeze.

It was 54 deg. F in Cancun this morning — a record low for the date. (BTW, Cancun is nowhere near Canada).

Al Gore is not supposed to be here…but it could be that the Gore Effect has announced his secret arrival. We will check into this.

If some of you don’t know what the Gore Effect is…:

The phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Hence, the Gore Effect.

Obviously, the definition now applies to the phenomenon of record-low temps in locations where global warming fanatics gather, whether Gore is with them or not.
