UPDATE: All of the Gore-a-thon posts and cartoons are now available in the Climate Fail Files page here
If you noticed a change in the header, this is why.
Our rebuttal of Al Gore’s 24 hours of Climate Reality aka the Gore-a-thon is On-The-Air. Josh is leading the charge chortles. We’ll have a new Josh cartoon, along with commentary, graphs and links every hour starting at 5PM PST to match the starting time of the CRP. They appear below this post.
You can watch the live video presentation here, I urge everyone to do so (because after hour 4 it is starting to look like a massive dud, Al needs the help) and to make notes about it during the appropriate hour. Alternate video link here at Ustream.
Here’s the trailer advertising it:
If you run a blog, we hope you’ll participate and use the content. If you don’t have a blog, get one for free here and join in the fun using the free content we’ll provide.
All good clean fun of course. While we have some great ideas for the program, WUWT readers often come up with some great ones too. Luboš Motl has some fun ideas already.
Ideas and discussion welcome below.
UPDATE: The Climate Reality project has released two videos hyping the event. It appears they’ll be smearing some of what is in the videos.
Of course, they are asking for money, a minimum of $10 after viewing them. They write with the mass email:
While some folks have told us these aren’t exactly family fare, we think they make a point that’s long overdue. And you can help make sure that everyone who you think can handle them, sees them.
We are planning an online ad buy — but we need your help to reach as many people as possible. Will you donate $10 to get this message out?
http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/ad-donate
Your donation will help us spread the Climate Reality message in a unique and effective way. Tell the world: The climate crisis is not a debate. It’s reality. And the time to take action is not the future — it’s right now. The fat lady has sung.
Watch the videos and make a donation today. Anything you give makes a difference:

The time to act is now. The denial has hit the fan.
Thanks,

Chief Marketing Officer
The Climate Reality Project.
WUWT readers may recall that Mr Bogusky is the “interviewer” for Al Gore’s recent racist slur against climate skeptics.
Big Al’s 24-hour world-wide revivalist meeting of Latter-Day Climate Bedwetters will be amusing to watch, but If he really thinks any non-Believing climate sinners are going to confess, repent, and become True Believers (praaaaise the Gore), he is seriously deluded. He will merely be preaching to his fast-dwindling flock of sheeple, and with upraised finger, castigating the infidels, heretics, and sinners against The Planet, all of whom are in the pay of and/or are disciples of Big Evil Oil/Coal/Gas, and who will burn in Climate Purgatory, which is at least “several million degrees”.

The horse is dead, Al. Quit beating it, for god’s sake.
Gore enjoys beating dead horses. You should know by now; a zebra does not change its spots!
Obviously, Gore thinks we’re all fools by not getting skeptic checks from Big Oil. Fools, standing up to our beliefs and convictions for what? No prime time speech from the Senate floor? No $144K speaking fees? No tax-deductible donations? No Oscar for our infomercials? We all give activism a bad name and must be stopped, no matter the cost.
does CO2 freeze in nature on Earth?
Al Gore’s Jet burns liquid hypocrisy. LOL…

I wonder if Gore ever stepped on a crack in a sidewalk without going nuts. It must be a nightmare for the global reality crowd to see so much evil in oil and yet having to not only see it successfully used but to have to use it themselves. And worse to see their ideas proven wrong at every turn of fiction they produce.
The ad should read give 10 dollars and you not only save the world but with the 10 dollar gift you save the world twice.
I will be busy on the 14th receiving window weather strips for my Chevey pickup.
Is that “name” Bogusky for real?
That tells you all you need to know!
[REPLY: Yes, that really is his name and it’s probably unfortunate for a man in his position… but may I suggest that making fun of an opponent’s name is wears thin after a bit? -REP, mod]
Gore Bull is so 1999.
Seems like your doing a lot of advertising for manbearpig and his event.
Speaking of “you know what” hitting the “you know what”
I took John Denver’s big hit “The Eagle & The Hawk” and added a little twist.
“Alter call?” (September 12, 2011 at 11:01 pm)
Does that replace “Climate Change”?
Question Reality

“does CO2 freeze in nature on Earth?”
No, the partial pressure is too low.

“Oil is close to 10 times the price of thermal coal, and there is a couple of hundred years supply of coal without even looking for more reserves. No-one but no-one is talking about “peak coal””
Don’t be naive.

It is starting early 🙂
I came across this on the CNET Greentech page that had a story on the Gore-athon. Lets just say the “nays” have it by a large margin. This one was just too funny so I had to share I don’t know if the person who posted it there was the originator or not but it made me laugh

ALGORE is my shepherd; I shall not think.
He maketh me lie down in Greenzi pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still-freezing waters.
He selleth my soul for CO2:
He leadeth me in the paths of self-righteousness for his own sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of reason,
I will fear no logic: for thou art with me and thinking for me;
Thy Gore’s family oil fortune and thy 10,000 square Gorey foot mansion, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a movie in the presence of contradictory evidence:
Thou anointest mine head with nonsense; my fear runneth over.
Surely blind faith and hysteria shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of ALGORE forever.
Elmer, that’s fantastic. A link I’ll post on my Facebook page to celebrate Climate Reality.
For a preview of what to expect at the Gore-a-thon:
Over at Ace of Spades, one of the contributors has threatened to not only defriend anyone that sends him an Al Gore spam but also to send them a live opossum packed in styrofoam peanuts. It’s a hoot and so are some of the comments:

Send in $10, only $10 to spread the word. The man sounds like some crooked TV evangelist from the 1970’s. On second thoughts he also looks like some crooked TV evangelist from the 1970’s.
I sent an email to the ” Climate Irrational” project detailing the reasons why,if they want to have any success whatsoever and avoiding fading into the sunset of nonfactual irrelevance, they should immediately dump Gore as they’re spokes-ManBearPig.
Wanna bet I won’t get a reply?
Not without points.
The date for Gore’s event seems to have been chosen to coincide with ice minimum. Unfortunately for Gore the ice has not quite delivered.
If skeptics were Ogres then Anthony would be Shrek. AG would be Rumplestilkin (spelling?)
John
Al Gore should have taken up snow boarding.
He is so poor at snow jobs.

Check out the Wed. night snow chances.
Low of 31 F.
But, its just weather.
It’s official in the Twin Cities. A freeze warning is in effect for Thursday morning, for what would be the second earliest freeze in history.
Al Gore. You still got game!
