Ha ha! It's too cold to talk about global warming! Get it?
Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the 'urgent need' to combat global warming.
But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.

Well, I guess frozen-out global warming events are an "evergreen" for Drudge, who like the rest of the conservo-media-politico complex has been flopping around desperately like a caught fish these last few weeks. In fact, a Republican lawmaker was kind enough to email Drudge this nugget directly. It's too bad Drudge doesn't have a link to this article:
WASHINGTON — Many damaging effects of climate change are already basically irreversible, researchers declared Monday, warning that even if carbon emissions can somehow be halted temperatures around the globe will remain high until at least the year 3000.
"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide the climate would go back to normal in 100 years, 200 years; that's not true," climate researcher Susan Solomon said in a teleconference.
Solomon, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., is lead author of an international team's paper reporting irreversible damage from climate change, being published in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
But then, I guess that would have killed the joke.
