Did Al Gore get Frozen Out when Presenting His Speech on Global Warming at Harvard University?

Did Al Gore plan on the freezing temperatures at Harvard this week as he presents his speech on Global Warming? Note, the speech was presented on Wednesday night, the coldest night in zip code 02138 so far this week.

Was snow forcast on Wednesday night? The forecast for Greater Boston from Sunday looked even more dramatic. Al Gore’s speech was on Wednesday. Click Here to see that on Sunday, they actually predicted snow for Wednesday. That didn’t happen, after all.

From the Reference Frame:

A reader using the “trademark” of the Office of the President of Harvard University informed us about a hilarious event in Cambridge, MA, namely the Harvard Sustainability Celebration: Green.harvard.edu: green is the new crimson

If they can change the color of the Harvard logo so easily, maybe their planet is also green, not blue, after all.
The Harvard College Democrats ask why the “reduce reuse recycle rethink” posters are 4 times larger than the previous record holders.

But they are kind of obliged to be happy about the keynote speaker, Mr Al Gore, who is famous for his big house, jet, and the so-called Gore effect. Dictionaries explain the term as:

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.

It seems to be working again: see Weather Underground (no, it is not the leftist militant group that may have inspired Barack Obama: the name of the weather service is just a good joke).

In Cambridge, the warmest October 22nd occurred in 1979 when the temperature climbed to 83 °F. Well, it doesn’t look like what they see today. Even the average high temperature for this day is 60 °F which is still far too high. After high noon, the temperature in Cambridge is 44.5 °F. Tonight, it is predicted to drop to 34 °F, close to the record low of 28 °F measured in 1940.

For Thursday night ( the day after … the speech), the temperature in Cambridge is forecast to drop below the freezing point to 28 °F which, if true, will beat the record low temperature set in 1883, which means exactly 125 years ago, when it was 29 °F. Not bad! (Sorry, during Thursday, the prediction of 28 °F for tonight was raised to 31 °F; not quite a record but still below freezing.)

Moreover, the phenomenon present in Cambridge in order to discuss global warming seems to be driving rain and hail, with the probability of rain indicated as 60%. ;-) At 1 p.m. local time, they report a cloudy weather with isolated showers.

What is going on? A record cold temperature on the night a speech is given on Global Warming?
