The result of the move request was: moved. I'd note that the previous RM primarily considered the presence of "The" in the article title, not whether "Effect" should be capitalized. (closed by non-admin page mover) feminist (talk) 16:52, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

 * please see the section on the talk page where a request was made to move to the current title from your proposed title. This requested move is obviously not uncontroversial, so I am contesting it here. Also, it looks like most of the sources do use the current capitalization. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 22:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. It's an effect named after Al Gore, not something named "Gore Effect". J I P  &#124; Talk 21:27, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is not an effect. It is just a weak attempt at humor by, well, naming something "Gore Effect". --Hob Gadling (talk) 22:13, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. WP:TITLECASE is a policy, and in the cited requested move discussion above, WP:THE is part of the naming convention guidelines. Per WP:GUIDES both policies and guidelines have a high WP:CONLEVEL and should be followed. Vycl1994 (talk) 23:34, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. This is a routine MOS:DOCTCAPS move.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:19, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Support. Standard titling. YoPienso (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Don't care. It's fiction anyway. Maybe we should write it the same way the sources do. --Hob Gadling (talk) 22:13, 11 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 Wikipedia'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

 * "a perceived connection between occurrences of unseasonably cold weather and some events associated with global warming activism" There is no real connection. Weather is just happenening randomly. --ZemanZorg (talk) 17:27, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 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)
