Many of the protesters have already seen some of their numbers melt away.

I saw this on another site. Poor Frosty.
Karen G. Dec 22, 2009, 9:58am UTC
lol
Captain Nomind Dec 22, 2009, 10:09am UTC
It's 29 degrees and we have 9" of snow
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 10:12am UTC
Only 9"? I believe Washington DC got over 2 feet of snow. It is winter, after all.
Captain Nomind Dec 22, 2009, 10:15am UTC
hehehehe...and that was a record wasn't it?

Winter didn't start till yesterday.
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 10:19am UTC
I believe it was in the top ten snowfalls for the region. And yes, winter officially started on December 21st.

You say that as if it had significance.
Morgan S. Dec 22, 2009, 10:16am UTC
Ha! Too cute!
Toni V. Dec 22, 2009, 11:26am UTC
Poor little guys!
Marsha C. Dec 22, 2009, 11:32am UTC
love the photo
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 11:33am UTC
Me too. :)
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 12:20pm UTC
Can you hear them screaming?
Col. George W. Dec 22, 2009, 1:00pm UTC
I see that picture and wonder how many people with frozen hands put that display together. Winter did hit hard this year in several places. If this keeps up it will be another record breaker.
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 1:17pm UTC
I want to know how long it took to do this.
Chris Wiegard Dec 22, 2009, 1:26pm UTC
I bet it took a while, David. And we were always told that the global warmists were smug and complacent, unwilling to actually expend any real effort to combat climate change....
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 3:02pm UTC
Apparently "warmists" care more about their children and grandchildren then denialists.
J. McDole Dec 22, 2009, 3:03pm UTC
Great piece of frozen journalism! Thanks!
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 3:10pm UTC
Interesting turn of phrase. Thanks.
Larry M. Dec 22, 2009, 3:43pm UTC
I think the crowd estimates are inflated and I also seem to remember seeing these same figures in a video from last winter. It looks like a fake just to boost your hidden agenda.

Otherwise it's really cute. :-)
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 3:49pm UTC
Good eye, Larry. It's actually styrofoam cutouts done during the summer and photoshopped to all get out.
Larry M. Dec 22, 2009, 3:57pm UTC
No good eye here, just a lucky guess in pursuit of humor. :-)
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 4:36pm UTC
And you succeeded, Larry. :)
Joan V. Dec 23, 2009, 9:33am UTC
You realize the deniers are going to latch on to this as more fakery by warmists. (warmists???) First email-gate, now styrofoam, photoshopped snowmen!! Have we no integrity?! :)
Larry M. Dec 23, 2009, 9:53am UTC
Sigh. You're right, Joan. We have been caught taking pictures of fake snowmen. How much lower can we stoop?
David K. Dec 23, 2009, 4:39pm UTC
Dang them PR lobbyists for the tobacco and oil industries. They know all the tricks, don't they?

Oh right, they do. They use them all the time.
Char H. Dec 24, 2009, 9:22pm UTC
Joan, you made me laugh! But to answer your question, all have integrity! Some are just misled!
Sam Carana Dec 22, 2009, 4:23pm UTC
Ha, ha, aren't these Santa's little helpers, who have fled a melting North Pole?
David K. Dec 22, 2009, 4:35pm UTC
Yeah, I think they were complaining that Santa was losing his hair...something about receding glaciers.
David K. Dec 23, 2009, 5:05am UTC
A very interesting protest.
TICA M. Dec 23, 2009, 5:35am UTC
Wow! Rather than a lovely blanket of pristine white snow, there is a landscape of cute little snow people.

These little snow people will eventually melt ... oh my ... oh dear ... oh how horrible ... snow that will most definitely melt some time in the future!

What is the next terrible catastrophe that we brave Americans must tremble in fear of?
David K. Dec 23, 2009, 7:57am UTC
Ask Sarah Palin.
Clarke M. Dec 23, 2009, 7:14am UTC
Cute
David K. Dec 23, 2009, 10:53am UTC
I thought so too. :)
Joan V. Dec 23, 2009, 9:27am UTC
Thank you. It was a good laugh after reading too many blogs on climate change and getting kind of depressed :(
David K. Dec 23, 2009, 9:49am UTC
Happy holidays, Joan.
Jeff R. Dec 24, 2009, 1:42pm UTC
Wonderful humor...

I had to brush off a lot of "global warming" off of my work truck this week.
Char H. Dec 24, 2009, 9:24pm UTC
Guess I just feel like laughing tonight! ur funny! Lotta people brushing that warming off!
Mel Laplante Dec 24, 2009, 10:57pm UTC
Nice!
Ed Da Head Toker Dec 25, 2009, 3:34pm UTC
OMG!!!! IT IS AN INVASION FROM THE NORTH POLE!!!
Ed Da Head Toker Dec 25, 2009, 3:34pm UTC

We have a little village under our Christmas tree with a while blanket representing snow. I put a Matchbox Car Toyota Prius in all the "global warming" under the tree. B-)
