The sculpture is called “Hot With a Chance of Late Storm” by The Glue Society. These photos are from the display at Sculpture By The Sea, in Sydney, Australia in 2006.

In the CA central valley in summer, this wouldn’t be a sculpture. I grew up in the Chico area.

a big breakthrough in australia despite MSM advocacy…
7 May: Australian Herald-Sun: One in three voters against paying for climate change ‘myth’
•One-third against climate change bills
•Two-thirds don’t believe it is real
•Low-income earners most resistant
The survey showed two-thirds of respondents were not convinced by man-made climate change, despite “billions of dollars of government propaganda,” said John Roskam of the Institute of Public Affairs.
“These polls also show Australians won’t pay huge amounts of money to fix a problem they are not sure exists,” said Mr Roskam…

It’s an Ice Cream Truck … literally.
Now I’ve got this urge to run out and get some … ice cream, that is.

In Perth, Australia, I snapped a Mr Whippy ice cream van with a rear sign –
Mr Whippy
Beware of Children
Specially made for you.

Must have been those extreme air temperatures that are occurring at beaches with increasing frequency these days. Or, was it the high surface temperature of the concrete and adjacent beach sand? No it couldn’t be, that would mean it was caused by the sun!

The probable result of the CAGW bus, in Cancun. 😉

There are some who suggest that an air cooled engine is not appropriate for warmer climes. Too much positive feedback and runaway warming! And there is a direct correlation to fossil fuel use and the influence of Big Oil (leaks). It’s not like “they” didn’t warn us!

There are those who will do anything to frighten sheeple into abandoning thier possessions in the name of (insert noble cause).
Whether the threat is implied by guilt or direct is beside the point.

It is a very clever sculpture and the rocky headland between Bondi and Bronte makes this a fun annual event for outdoor sculpture. That ice-cream van played a slow,wobbly,’melting’, version of ‘Greensleeves’ as you approached it.

Now we know where Trenberth’s missing heat went. It’s a travesty it had to end up minding that “climate scientist”.

Barrie Harrop lives in Australia. That is enough to explain any insanity.

If your tribes lived out in the open for say 50,000 years, evidence that your gene code was good enough to make it. Would it not follow that said tribes would know lots about the climate just there on their skin each day and night.
The ones of wisdom now are not the only ones to have wisdom of the earths climate.

The melted truck is a great reminder of Sol power. Pretty much lost here as having replaced a few 4th floor 60 deg. pitched slate roofs where ice cream (and most anything else!) would be a mirage – at most. Come to think of it it’d be a great idea to hoist any CAGWers up on a stone roof at noon. Then keep’em up there ’till after the sun’s down an hour to get an idea about the temp. differential – then pop the question: notice any temp. change? Could solar exposure have anything to do with terra warming? How would this effect UHI?
Huh, right now we’ve got a cold front rumbling in, lightening and temps headed for 40 in the morning after being near 80 today.

k, it’s a slow night here, and being off topic, but true to the WUWT question, NYSE down 1000 points in five minutes, how is that possible? I fat finger my keyboard all the time, and even if P&G fell a 1/3, it doesn’t account for all of that. I know reaction time. It doesn’t work that way. I surmise, it was a test run. Does anyone know WUWT?

The regulators are still trying to figure it out. P&G was just one of the erroneous trades, it was just the biggest. They cancelled almost 300 trades after the fact and there were a dozen stocks affected. Since everything is public on this stuff, I’m pretty certain they will get to root cause and it will have something to do with the computerized matching system for buy and ask prices.

I meant of course, sell and ask prices.
