The "Gore Effect" is a term referring to the coincidental occurrence of unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow when Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Since Al Gore has become a prominent voice warning about the dangers of global warming, his detractors suffer from confirmation bias - they find an illusory correlation between events relating to global warming and severe winter weather. Believers in the "Gore Effect" have noted severe weather at several anthropogenic global warming events.
