It must really suck to be Al Gore right about now.

Just as he was on the verge of getting his “carbon credits” business off to a world-wide start, along comes Climategate and suddenly folks are starting to actually question the religion of man-made global warming.

Then winter sets in and bitch-slaps Gore with what is shaping up as a record breaking round of really cold weather.

Here are but a few examples of news reports that pretty much gore, Al Gore, and in the you-know-where:

From ABC.com:

Hundreds Rescued as Heavy Snow Slams Britain

Cold Snap Gripping Gulf States Threatens Fla. Crop

From CBS.com:

Farmers Race to Save Crops amid Cold Snap

Cat Found Frozen Thaws, Survives

From MSNBC.com:

‘Florida is not supposed to be cold like this’

U.K. shivers through worst cold snap in decades

‘Icebox’ cold in eastern U.S. — even Florida

And then there’s this, also from MSNBC:

Deadly cold kills four
Jan. 6: As at least four deaths in Tennessee are being blamed on the extreme cold that is gripping most of the nation, forecasters are predicting another surge of frigid air will sweep much of the country later this week. NBC’s Janet Shamlian reports.

Yes, in Al Gore’s home state of Tennessee at least four people have frozen to death during the current cold wave.

Tragic deaths that might have been avoided had these unfortunate souls made it to Al Gore’s house where energy is consumed like air and the outdoor pool is heated nicely, even in the coldest of winters.

So while it must suck for Al Gore, watching as his cult of global warming business flounders, at least he can kick back in his heated pool while mere mortals freeze in the brutal cold of reality.
