'Frozen Gore' sculpture fuels debate in Alaska
Posted: Wednesday, January 6, 2010 12:55 pm
Another two-ton ice sculpture of former Vice President Al Gore is back in front of a Fairbanks liquor store.
"Frozen Gore" is a dig at Gore's beliefs about climate change.
The first statue went on display last year. This year's version is hooked up to the exhaust of a pickup truck to make it appear Gore is spouting hot air.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the smoke drew laughs from a crowd Tuesday as a Gore speech on climate change played over a loudspeaker.
The sculpture was commissioned by two businessmen, Craig Compeau and Rudy Gavora, who want Gore to discuss global warming in Fairbanks.
"We don't agree with his theories _ we're suspicious of the financial motivation behind them," Compeau said.
Last year's inaugural Gore ice sculpture got national attention, including mentions on The Drudge Report, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
Compeau said his Web site with photos and information about the sculpture attracted 1.7 million visitors. He also was swamped with mostly positive e-mails from people who found the sculpture entertaining.
Climate change scientists say Alaska has warmed by 3 degrees Fahrenheit during the past 50 years. The average temperature for 2009 was 27.8 degrees in Fairbanks, about one degree warmer than normal, said Rick Thoman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Why is the frontman for the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity still walking around as a free man? The POS Al “No Controlling Legal Authority” Gore deserves a fate of fear. After all, “HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS”.
The damage he has done is incalculable.
Craig Compeau speaks to a small crowd during the unveiling of an Al Gore ice sculpture Tuesday morning, January 5, 2010 at Thrifty Liquor on the corner of Cushman Street and Airport Way. This is the second year local businessmen Compeau and Rudy Gavora have had an Al Gore sculpture displayed at the location, with this year's creation being commissioned to sculptor Steve Dean.

I heard that HELL has frozen over.
Al Gore scheduled a global warming conference there.
LOL! I’d bet algore is going to stay as far away from AK as possible.
