== '''DISPUTE''' - Are the 2 "uses" being advanced the "same subject"? ==

There's this 800# Gorilla running amok in this article. It's going to require identification, focus, discussion (more than likely within some Misplaced Pages venue superior to this article "talk") and resolution with subsequent article oversight before this article can ever attain any sense of stability.

That "Gorilla" is the postulate that the 2 represented "subjects" of this treatment are the same "subjects" for the purposes of hosting article content related to each within a single Misplaced Pages article.

The postulate is, IMHO, factually wrong, contrived, strained, harmful to (if not preclusive of) the composition of a credible treatment of "Gore Effect (satire)" (or either use for that matter), inherently disruptive to an orderly composition process and unsustainable under any rational examination for validity.

IMHO, the argument is strong, on multiple levels, for the creation of individual treatments of each "use" being advanced but,...first things first.

Hipocrite suggested "disambiguation" as an alternative but it was objected to as having "POV fork" considerations. "Forks", by Misplaced Pages definition, relate to individual treatments of the "same subject". If another treatment is not related to the "same subject", then "POV fork" becomes moot and 2 individual treatments are viable. I'd suggest we get on with this debate and get this resolved.

'''Are the 2 "uses" being advanced the "same subject"?''' ] (]) 14:07, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

:No they are actually separate subjects. One (this article) is about The Gore effect, whic hdeals with bad weather at events about AGW. The other is The Al Gore Effect, which is about gore telling everyone about global warming ] (]) 14:11, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
:The humorous, ironic phrase has a different history and is treated differently and used for different purposes than the phrase that uses the same words for the unironic journalists' cliche. The first phrase has caught the attention of reliable sources who discuss it. The second phrase, as far as I can tell, has never been discussed as a subject by any reliable sources. The first phrase is the name of a recurring joke. The second phrase is simply another way of saying that another prominent public office-holder has influence, and as soon as we try to describe that subject, we find ourselves repeating information that other articles cover better. The first phrase is properly the subject of a Misplaced Pages article because it has the required sourcing, as has been ratified by an AfD. The second phrase hasn't been shown to have any of that. There may be more examples of usage in the second phrase, but by itself that doesn't mean that phrase is fit to be a Misplaced Pages article, much less this Misplaced Pages article. It is fine to ''mention'' the second subject in the article about the first subject, because they are somewhat related. -- ] (]) 14:56, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

*'''Emphatic No''' - (from an earlier discussion) The "<u>title</u>" is "Gore Effect". Where a single use of a term or phrase is recognized, a "title" might be legitimately said to reflect a "subject" as well. Where there are 2 or more uses of the phrase or term recognized (or advanced), then the "subject" of the term MUST be defined by the content its use relates to as is assuredly the understanding in colloquial use. They may share a common "title" and tangentially relate to a common element, but they are, by no means, the same "subject". It is almost self-evident. ] (]) 18:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
::In response to Polentario...
::''a) youre right...''
::I'm unclear what your comment refers to. If, by that, you are offering an opinion on this question (which I <u>think</u> you are), then I'd suggest you state your opinion here.
::''b) are they still necessary? I doubt it.''
::I can only speak to the issue related to this dispute tag and, thus far, no one supporting the referenced postulate has seen fit to comment...which is fine. However, after some reasonable length of time for comment has passed (perhaps a week?), it is reasonable to interpret the lack of opinion in support of the postulate as deference to the position of those who have elected to comment. IOW, rejection of the postulate could then be legitimately held as a consensus opinion and I would remove my tag. ] (]) 13:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Given the opinions expressed above and with no voiced opposition having thus far been offered, there appears to exist a consensus that the 2 "uses" of "Gore Effect" are not the "same subject" for the purposes of any subsequent editorial considerations. On that basis, I am removing the <nowiki>{{dispute}}</nowiki> tag and consider this issue to be resolved. ] (]) 12:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:No there is no such consensus - and that is readily determined by reading the next talk page topics. For myself - this particular topic was ignored, because it was a) strangely written b) begging the question c) completely ignored other views. You got 2 answers - from the same 2 people who have already stated their positions - and none from those who you know disagree. Beware - here be ]. --] (]) 12:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
::I'm satisfied that the 3 responses to the question "'''Are the 2 'uses' being advanced the 'same subject'?'''" reflect a negative consensus of those who have elected to respond and, on that basis, I have removed the tag.

:::::I have retitled this dispute section to hopefully encourage comments by interested editors. ] (]) 15:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I have re-inserted my factual dispute tag removed by MN. This issue remains unresolved and my intent is to pursue consensus resolution of this issue (via RfC if needs be). It is, IMHO, highly likely that this discussion has only been temporarily tabled pending the outcome of the current CC Arbcom deliberations. ] (]) 12:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
:Given Kim is the only one actually objecting then what is the issue? ] (]) 11:05, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::Mark, the "issue" is in the title of the dispute section.

:::Perhaps you believe you can sell "see here" in a dispute resolution process. Good luck with that. ] (]) 14:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
::::I'm not trying to "sell" anything - but it would be nice if you'd acknowledge that Verbal,Hipocrite,Active Banana,Yopienso<small></small> and myself (just the ones not in the archives) have all been disagreeing with your viewpoint.

:::::Strawman. The question is on your contention that the "2 uses" are the "same subject" and I don't recall any of them so asserting or "disagreeing with" my viewpoint. However.

== Introduction - cont'd (2) ==

The second sentence currently reads...

:The phrase has been used as well to describe Gore's impact in raising global warming as a public issue.

May I suggest, as a "copyedit" alternative...

:The phrase has also been employed in works related to Al Gore's prominence and influence as a leading advocate for global warming awareness and concerns.

Just IMHO, but I think it reads a bit better. ] (]) 13:59, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

:Polentario, I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting nor am I clear as to what discussion you are referring to. Can you be more explicit? ] (]) 18:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

:: Some yards above on this page, we have been discussing the "See also" Paragraph. ] and ] had been integrated into the entry, Hipocrit has erased em. I will reintroduce those links. OK? ] (]) 09:25, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
:::I've removed it again - after going through each and every reference. Your text is not supported by <u>any</u> of the references, since not a single one of these "mock" Gore. None of them are about controversy either. In fact all of them are attributing the Gore effect as something positive. In other words: Text was completely unsupported by references. --] (]) 09:46, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
::::{{ec}}Apparently you realized that the text was unsupported - so you just removed the refs. So now we have a text claiming that Gore is "mocked" without any reliable sources to support it. Do you think that is allowed? --] (]) 09:54, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

::::I surely hope that you could "care less" - because agreeing that wikilinks should be added to the text - isn't the same as inserting text that is 100% unsupported by references - or inserting text about a ] being "mocked" which is completely unreferenced. Perhaps you should try to "care"? --] (]) 09:57, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
::::Addendum: I will remove this as a rather clear BLP violation, unless you provide some reliable source that supports the text, and do remember that it has to be due weight as well, since this is a rather strong statement so any ole' opinion article wont do. --] (]) 10:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
:::::I see that Hipocrite has removed it - i suggest that it isn't readded unless referenced. --] (]) 10:05, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
(undent) after many ecs - I removed it coincidentally. If I had noticed I could have just reverted, I would have. In addition to being unsourced, it was also untrue. Further, the second paragraph was not in english - it had an extra "as such" thrown in there without meaning. ] (]) 10:08, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

It appears that in the sequence of edits related to Polentario's revision, the second sentence (noted above) which had previously been acceptable, has been relegated to a subsequent paragraph comprised of that single sentence. Perhaps this was unintentional and as there appears to be no opinion as to my suggested copyedit of the second sentence as it previously existed, without further objection as to it's content, I will re-insert it as an improvement to the earlier existing text and re-create the single opening paragraph...

:The "Gore Effect" is a humorous concept suggesting a causal relationship between observed or unseasonably cold weather phenomena and global warming associated events, with particular emphasis on events associated with appearances of former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Al Gore.

{outdent}Very well. While, IMHO, suggesting that a prospective reader of this article on a satirical jibe at "global warming" needs to be "informed" that this is a "public issue" may border on condescension, perhaps the following will satisfy...

== Refactoring archive pages ==

{{user|Kslotte}} recently refactored the archive pages. ''If'' there is consensus, and it's verified that any links to the moved sections were correct, it may be reasonable. Otherwise, it should be reverted.

== '''DISPUTE''' - PoV, yet again ==

Apparently JiJ insists on a section header for any tag. The PoV problem in this article is clear - it provides undue weight to half of the article - there is an assumption that the article is about the satire, with the effect as the secondary topic, when, at the very least, they need equal weighting. I previously made edits that reflected this - they were reverted. I am willing to discuss any compromise that anyone would like to make to have this article reflect the prominance of each in reliable sources. ] (]) 14:47, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:''Apparently JiJ insists on a section header for any tag.''
:I'm unsure why you choose to frame an attempt to employ recommended Misplaced Pages process for dispute resolution as some personal "insistence" on my part, but so be it. In that regard, it also suggests that the word "Dispute" be integrated into the section title to facilitate both identification and resolution. I'm adding it to the section title as per the Misplaced Pages recommendation which you are, of course, free to revert if you, for some reason, object. ] (]) 15:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

''I am willing to discuss any compromise that anyone would like to make to have this article reflect the prominance of each in reliable sources. Hipocrite ''<br>
I'd suggest that you already have the "compromise" you seek. IMHO, there's a strong case to be made for establishing "other uses" as irrelevant to this article. As the suggested text now reflects, an accommodation is already being made in deference to what I (and several other editors) deem to be an unsustainable assertion that the "subjects" of "Gore Effect" and "other uses" are identical. ] (]) 18:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
: I suggested splitting this article into two articles, as you may recall. Perhaps you are confusing who you are attempting to compromise with? ] (]) 19:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
::Disambiguation (which you previously suggested) is irrelevant to (and would make moot) any question of "prominence". Your current POV objection (and offer of "compromise") is predicated on the acceptance of an already made "compromise"...which is, in turn, reflected in the recognition of "other uses" in both the current and suggested lede. What you appear to be pressing for, again, is for parity of the 2 uses in this article. That is simply unacceptable on multiple levels and already argued to a fare-thee-well in many of the preceding discussions.
::As to your suggestion of "disambiguation", critical to the viability of such an alternative is a consensus determination as to the postulate that "Gore Effect" is the "same subject" as "other uses". In an attempt to reach a consensus determination on that issue, you were a no-show. Rather curious that you would elect to refrain from commenting on an assertion being advanced as an obstacle to your own suggestion. ] (]) 19:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::::: The entire thing. I think you make assumptions about what I do and do not believe. Allow me to summarize what I do believe for you. I believe that "Gore Effect" has two meanings - one is the satire, the other is the effect Gore had on public perceptions of climate change. Both meanings may or may not be wikipedia-notable seperately, while they are proven wikipedia-notable together (per AFD). I believe that this '''article''' (not so-much the lede, currently) provides undue weight to one of the two meanings. I have attempted/suggested multiple solutions to this - my first attempt was to place two top-level headers - creating two major divisions in the aritlce - one being satire, the other being effect on public perception of climate change. You can see that edit , but reversion was requested at], and while I requested that O2R discuss his request, he failed to do so. I also suggested splitting the article in two, as you may remember, but that was also rejected. Given that I appeared to be the only individual offering solutions, I decided that any further attempt to offer solutions was futile, and instead decided that I would tag the article and wait for someone else to offer a solution, or acquiesse to either of mine. There you go! ] (]) 20:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Requested move 5 March 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Gore Effect → Gore effect – Standard capitalisation. Daß Wölf 19:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Need examples

This article needs a list of examples of the Gore Effect. Specific speeches, and the associated weather.

No. Those examples were there, and it was decided that they shouldn't be. If you want examples, google them. I am sure that climate change denier webpages will have lists. It is not Misplaced Pages's job to spread denialist propaganda. --Hob Gadling (talk) 04:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
it stops in 2013. --Reinhold Dieckmann (talk) 07:42, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes, Climate Depot is a cc denial website, not a reliable source. . dave souza, talk 13:13, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

perceived connection

There is not connection. It is just coincidence. --ZemanZorg (talk) 17:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Well, actually, it is not coincidence that deniers cherrypicked those data points out of a huge set of data. --Hob Gadling (talk) 09:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Make fun of

"For several years now, skeptics have amusedly eyed a phenomenon known as “The Gore Effect” to half-seriously argue their case against global warming. The so-called Gore Effect happens when a global warming-related event, or appearance by the former vice president and climate change crusader, Al Gore, is marked by exceedingly cold weather or unseasonably winter weather." shows that skeptics make fun of this. They just look for cold temperatures during those events. --ZemanZorg (talk) 17:27, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
