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. (

@
Daß Wölf: 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.

Support. It's an effect named after Al Gore, not something named "Gore Effect".

Actually, it is not an
effect. It is just a weak attempt at humor by, well, naming something "Gore Effect". --

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.

Support. Standard titling.

Don't care. It's fiction anyway. Maybe we should write it the same way the sources do. --

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. --

"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. --

There is not connection. It is just coincidence. --

Well, actually, it is not coincidence that deniers cherrypicked those data points out of a huge set of data. --

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.
[3] They just look for cold temperatures during those events. --
