An unusually chilly March day and the snowstorm it spawned shut down much of official Washington on Wednesday — including a hearing House Republicans had called to examine global warming.
“Postponed due to weather,” read the notice from the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.
The hearing was designed to help lawmakers understand human effects on climate (more propaganda?) as a means “to inform decision-making on potential mitigation options.”
According to Politico, “The session was apparently designed to shore up the knowledge of subcommittee members ahead of expected new carbon regulations from President Barack Obama.”
“The cancelling of global warming conferences and events due to cold weather has happened so frequently that it has been given a name, the Gore effect,” says IRN News. “The tongue in cheek name is a reference to former Vice-President Al gore who has been a promoter of the now largely discredited global warming theory.”
How many snowstorms will it take before people realize that their leaders are lying about man-made global warming?
