Rockport's Jesús Moroles, a world-renowned granite sculptor, along with his sister, Suzanna, were special guests of President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush on May 5 for the Cinco De Mayo Celebration Dinner in the White House Rose Garden.
“I was honored to sit at the First Lady's table,” said J. Moroles.
The dinner included more than 200 people from across the county.
The sculptor's work in progress is a courtyard plaza for the University of Arkansas.
His most recently completed project is the Dreamscape Plaza for Oklahoma State University. Also completed are the Round Ziggurat Fountain Plaza for the San Antonio Museum of Arts.
Other work in San Antonio includes three vertical sculptures titled “Steles” which will be installed as part of the Riverwalk Renovation Project which includes a new riverboat area leading to the museum.
In 2005 he completed two monumental sculptures at Texas Tech University called “Square Spiral Arch” and “Stele Gateway.” Texas Tech has one of the top 10 collections of sculpture in universities in the United States.
J. Moroles' most recent commission is the Joslyn Museum of Art in Omaha, NE. The donors flew to Rockport via private jet, bringing the museum staff with them to tour the Moroles compound and meet his staff. He will reface the museum with a reflecting pool, fountain wall, and three fountains.

Instead of presenting this to the scientific world in a peer reviewed journal, these guys publish it in this book in an attempt to sway public opinion. I could go on as many of the statements in this article are misleading, or blatantly ludicrous. Suffice it to say, it looks to me like this book is much more about influencing public opinion than any scientific review of whether human activity is causing climate change.
It is sad some people will believe this as fact. "
