Global warming hearing put on ice!
WASHINGTON - January 26, 2009 - Al Gore was scheduled to go before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on what he calls the “urgent need” to combat global warming.
But Mother Nature had other plans.
A “Winter Storm Watch” was posted for Washington, D.C. with the potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations.
"I can't imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside," a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. "And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel."
A spokesman for Senator John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans.
Global warming advocates have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change.
