Gore ice sculpture stands 8 1/2 feet tall
January 20, 2009
An Alaska man said his 5-ton ice sculpture of 2007 Nobel Prize winner Al Gore is aimed at luring the former vice president up north for a visit.
Craig Compeau unveiled the 8 1/2-foot-tall sculpture Monday in Fairbanks as an invitation to the global warming education leader to visit the town, the Anchorage Daily News reported Tuesday.
Compeau, who described himself as a moderate
critic of global warming theories, said he is hoping the An Inconvenient Truth
star will travel to Fairbanks to discuss his views on climate change.
The businessman said the sculpture will be taken down in March if it has not yet melted.
