GLOBAL WARMING RALLY CUT SHORT BY COLD WEATHER
Planet Gore,/NRO ^ | 4/16/07 | Jim Manzi

Yeah, I know this story has no logical relevance to long-term climate trends, but sometimes the cheapest shots are the funniest.

"More than two dozen demonstrators braved cold, wet weather Saturday in Reno to attend a rally designed to draw attention to global warming.

The event was cut short by heavy rain and sleet, said organizer Lisa Stiller of the Northern Nevada Coalition for Climate Change.

The storm prevented the use of solar ovens for a potluck picnic, Stiller said."

At least the heavy rain gave the moonbats a nice cleansing.

I was camping this weekend in the California high desert. First time in memory that I have worn a jacket and mitts in the morning there in mid-April.

GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE RALLY CUT SHORT BY COLD WEATHER

That is what they should have had as the title. That is the new dim talking point.

I commented that we couldn't’t play golf on Patriots Day, but we did play golf on Christmas Eve Day. One guy said it proved Global Warming. I said it was more likely that the Earth just wasn’t obeying the calender that was decreed by two of the noblest Romans of them all. How dare it!

Liberals are so stupid. And they use a solar oven since that's even funnier as I'm under the impression they think the sun is bad for you!

If only the two dozen would watch the TV or listen to the radio or read the paper or the internet they would have a weather forecast available to them.

But all that is evil, corporate kind of stuff. Worthy of the greatest disdain.

How do they know the planet will be super-hot in a half century when they can't predict what today's weather is going to be like?

I would have enjoyed this story a lot more if there were some pics of those nimrods standing out there carrying some signs with global warming slogans as the sleet is coming down.

"Yeah, I know this story has no logical relevance to long-term climate trends, but sometimes the cheapest shots are the funniest."

If the tables were turned, the Dems/libs would not hesitate to take a similar cheap shot. The difference is that they wouldn't admit it's a cheap shot.

Mother Nature works in wondrous ways, knocking some sense and irony into all but two dozen.

I was listening to Howie Carr (on the internet). A caller, commenting on the very wet Boston Marathon said the good thing about the rain was it was washing the runner and spectator "bleep" [feces] off of lawns along the route...

What the heck do they mean by "...for Climate Change"? I thought moonbats were statists, complaining that the climate was changing, and they didn't want it to change?

I look at this as another Global Warming Awareness success story. These people release such energy with their "good thoughts" that their Climate G*d rewards them with cool breezes!

Peace and Harmony Brothers!

Here's a couple of the South Lake Tahoe demonstrators informing the gamblers on their way to the casinos.

I live about an hour outside Reno, Nevada. Yesterday, on my way to church I drove through snowflurries. As I greeted friends, I commented, "How about this lovely spring weather. It's caused by the Al Gore effect." I received a lot of laughter with my corny routine, except for one couple who I suspect to be closet liberals. Neither of them laughed, the husband looked puzzled, and the wife replied, "I don't get it."

Definition for "The Al Gore Effect": Any unusual weather event, especially weather normally associated with colder temperatures.

Yup, the “Al Gore Effect” has struck again.
