Think Somebody Is Trying To Send Them A Message?

I guess Earth Day festivities took a bit of a hit yesterday in Edmonton, where the cold weather kept people home. Naturally the main thrust of the event was to combat supposed man-made global warming.

This is not the first time a global warming event was got a chilly reception.

In '04 Gore gave a much ballyhooed speech in New York City on one of the coldest days in the city's history. And in February of last year a House hearing on global warming was canceled due to a blizzard.

Then there was also the story last year where a pair that set out for the North Pole to "bring attention to global warming" had to turn back after encountering temperatures as low as 100 degrees below zero. One of the pair had to have three toes amputated due to frostbite. Not surprisingly she blamed the cold weather on the "unpredictability" wrought by global warming.

Perhaps the big man upstairs wants to send a message that misleading people for political power and self-aggrandizement doesn't sit so well.

Here's a nice little clip about the hype:
