‘Frozen Gore’ sculpture returns in Fairbanks to fuel climate change debate
Fairbanks Daily Miner | January 5, 2010 | Jeff Richardson
FAIRBANKS – In what might become an annual tradition, an ice sculpture of former Vice President Al Gore has taken its place in front of Thrifty Liquor along Airport Way.
The two-ton “Frozen Gore” sculpture isn’t exactly a tribute. It’s a tongue-in-cheek critique of Gore’s vocal belief in man-made climate change, complete with hot air pouring out of his mouth.
Local businessmen Craig Compeau and Rudy Gavora contracted the piece from award-winning sculptor Steve Dean and say they’ll keep erecting one each winter until Gore accepts an invitation to discuss the global warming issue in Fairbanks.
“We do want to invite debate,” Compeau said. “We don’t agree with his theories — we’re suspicious of the financial motivation behind them.”
This year’s version includes special effects, thanks to a system that pipes the exhaust from a Ford F-350 out of Gore’s open mouth. Compeau will fire up the truck periodically this winter to create the “hot air” effect.

Does the exhaust ever get warm enough to melt some of the ice? Having his mouth get bigger and bigger as the winter drags on might be … poetic?
In spite of the current extremely cold climate around the world there are some people who consider “Al Baby”….(you won´t believe it!.)..a “climate messiah”.
I think he doesn´t qualify for being a kind of climate “666” but only as a “333”☺
Actually, Alaska has been warmer than normal this year.
I would suggest Mr.Craig Compeau to use, instead of a F-350 exhaust pipe, a cylinder with CO2 gas, in order NOT TO HEAT THE SCULPTURE UP. ( It would be an additional proof that CO2 does not heat but cools!)
All, learn the truth from the luminary Al Gore, yes, it’s ManBearPig time:

So Al, how does it feel to be a global joke?
kwik,
I think large parts of thr Baltic Sea and possibly even the North Sea will be iced over soon.
No let up in the cold for at least another 10 days.
If Hollywood were making a film and needed to caste someone as a Snakeoil salesman they would be hard pushed to do better than Al Gore.
Very,very funny !!!!!!
This is funny. Captions as if Al Gore is speaking.

It’s so cold out there I heard Al Gore is buying clear-cutting rights in the Brazillian rain forest!
Have a look at this article.
Pachauri has called a look a like contest in protest of Global Warming:

Somebody predicts the alarmists will switch to global cooling as scare scenario:

I find this a bit premature, but who knows….
I just noticed the December 2009 Geomagnetic Planetary Index (Ap) value is posted on the Space Weather Prediction site:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/
It is practically down to zero!
Based on the previous discussion of the November 2009 Ap value (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/09/solar-geomagnetic-activity-is-at-an-all-time-low-what-does-this-mean-for-climate/), the “annual” Gore bust tradition might become “perennial” soon!
You can see a video of the Ice Gore spewing hot air and alarmist nonsense here:
Moonbat’s on one http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2010/jan/06/cold-snap-climate-sceptics and actually taking on sceptics by replying within his own talkback. Go there and have fun if you want, but personally I can’t be bothered arguing with the creep.
Gore looks good in ice, let’s freeze him ala Hand Solo.
And there’s video too!
I posted it here…

“Moonbat’s on one”
When you average weather, it’s called a trend, and used to show climate change.
Odd that climate scientists use new warm records – weather – each year as proof of global warming
But these new cold records will have to be averaged in now.
That is unless they fudge them too.
Ron de Haan (09:10:36) : Dear Ron, after a long time trying what Pachauri’s face looked like, I have found it!. Do you remember that at the beginning of The Prophecy movie, appears an archeologist finding a statuette of the Evil One?, HE IS IT!
The film opens with a brief prologue in a desert where Simon (Eric Stoltz), an angel, stands over the skeleton of another angel. In voiceover, he reveals that a war has broken out in Heaven and the angelic host is divided, much like in the first angelic war in which Lucifer was cast out of heaven
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prophecy ☺☺☺
or rather, not that cold
“Actually, Alaska has been warmer than normal this year.”
Certainly warmer than last year (last year was brutally cold) .. but warmer than ‘normal’?
Dirk H, J Hansen got his start as an “New Ice Age” alarmist back in the 70’s. He’s renounced it since then (3-4 years ago as I recall), said it was all a mistake on someone else’s part.
They have no shame. If the bucks start falling for global cooling, they’ll be in the vanguard.
The Beeb is to review bias in it’s reporting of scientific matters including climate change.
