The Return of 'Frozen Gore'

Considering most of the planet is suffering through one of the coldest winters in decades, I notice global warming hoaxer Al Gore has been keeping an unusually low profile the last couple of weeks after the Copenhagen debacle. Probably safely ensconced in one of his mansions building up his massive carbon footprint by blasting the heat. Even a scammer like Gore likes to stay warm.

So we notice today that "Frozen Al Gore" has made a triumphant return up in Alaska.

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.

With temperatures in the single digits, a crowd of about 10 people laughed as smoke poured out of the sculpture as it was unveiled Tuesday morning. An excerpt of a recent Gore speech on climate change played over a loudspeaker.

Compeau said the sculpture is inspiring a contest, in which the winner will receive winter gear and an Al Gore bobblehead doll.

He’s asking people to guess how long an F-350 would need to run to match the emissions of a Lear jet flight from Gore’s home in Tennessee to Copenhagen, the site of a recent international climate change summit.

In an e-mail, a Gore spokeswoman said the former vice president doesn’t own a Lear jet and flew to and from Copenhagen aboard commercial flights.

Compeau said he’ll change the wording so his Web site doesn’t claim Gore took a private jet but said the contest will remain the same. He said Gore has been guilty of hypocrisy in the past on the climate change issue.

“I know he’s gone out of his way to be seen flying commercial, but in the past, he’s flown on a Lear jet,” he said.

ManBearPig: 'I Love Van Jones'

I wonder if the overstuffed environmental wacko would like to walk this one back yet?

"In this environment, I think the Obama administration should be very careful of its dealings with anybody who can be labeled communist accurately," said Christopher C. Hull, an adjunct government professor at Georgetown University who runs the public affairs firm Issue Management.

"That's just going to play to the political sensibility that those on the right have that the Obama administration is socialist, literally socialist. ... It is unwise to bring in people who actually do label themselves socialist or communist."

Jones has mellowed considerably since the '90s. In some respects, he is about as mainstream as environmentalists come -- with recognition streaming in from high places over the past few years.

He's won plaudits from former Vice President Al Gore, who declared, "I love Van Jones," in an interview with The New Yorker.

The mayor of San Francisco also has the hots for Jones.

Guess who else is a big fan of Van: (Besides Al Gore.) SF Mayor and CA Gov. candidate Gavin Newsom. The Mayor described Van "a superstar" to us before he introduced him at the 2008 Netroots Nation (Daily Kos) conference.

DOesn't it all just make perfect sense that a radical Communist Truther is the keynote speaker at the Daily Kos convention?



Here's Jones.



Sure seems like Jones had a chip on his shoulder about Fox News long before Glenn Beck was hired.

Everything you've done up until now has just been prologue, it's just been the preface. You proven that you can beat the opposition. You can't have successful opposition movement without opposition media. And you've proven that you can in a very short period of time you built an absolute counterweight to FOX and to Rush Limbaugh, the -- everything the Conservatives built up in 20 years, you were able to match and checkmate and four. It's a huge achievement in the history of human civilization. You did that. You did that. If the republic will be saved, it's because of your efforts, that's true.

Manbearpig: Climate change 'significantly worse' than feared

Of course, this bloated oaf needs to make sure he uses the term climate change, especially when most of the country is in the dead of winter, with subzero weather across the nation.

Really though, is anyone outside the fawning press taking him seriously any more?

Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, Al Gore said on Thursday.

Recent evidence shows "the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us," climate campaigner and former US vice-president Gore said.

There are now forecasts that the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years, he told a gathering at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Naturally, the story doesn't provide any evidence to support his absurd claims.

Of course, once 2013 rolls around, these gross exaggerations will never be revisited and Gore will never be held accounatble for his outlandish claims, all made, of course, while handsomely lining his pockets at the expense of the gullible.
