Another looming failure by Al Gore's "Climate Reality" team? Can Gore successfully advance his political agenda by bribing people with popsicles to tweet #ImTooHot?

Hey Austin: I’m. Too. Hot. | Climate Reality
[Kevin S. Curtis, Chief Program and Advocacy Officer] Starting this Wednesday, August 1, come meet us at our traveling ice cream truck and help spread the word. We’ll be giving away free ice cream, cool gifts, and plenty of information about climate change.

When you get to the truck, all you need to do is write a quick tweet, Facebook post or foursquare check-in that tells us how the heat has been impacting you. Use the hashtag #ImTooHot. Then, because it really is too hot, join us for some ice cream...
Not in Austin? Don’t worry, you can still join the conversation. Post your own ImTooHot stories to Twitter or Facebook. Tag your post with your city, state or country so we can see how climate change is impacting people all over the world. We will be re-posting comments with the hashtag #ImTooHot to our Twitter feed. If you want to read or share more about the extreme weather we’re seeing, check out our blog.

Nationwide, this is the hottest year on record to date, and for those living in Austin, 2012 is so far the warmest year in 74 years. We can’t ignore that manmade carbon pollution is warming our planet.

Look forward to visiting you, Austin … next stop, Washington, D.C.!
Astroturfing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Astroturfing is a form of advocacy in support of a political, organizational, or corporate agenda, designed to give the appearance of a "grassroots" movement. The goal of such campaigns is to disguise the efforts of a political or commercial entity as an independent public reaction to another political entity—a politician, political group, product, service or event.
