Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    as per National Graphic:
    "What better way to call attention to shrinking natural assets?"

    I wonder if this was no pun intended directed towards the all the men in attendance?

    I can hear the all guys now...no really...it really does happen because of the cold!

    *although actually, the one and only time i ever stood on a glacier...the weather was beautiful! of course, i wasn't nekkid though. :D

    yea, i'd think in person that may give it away. ;) haha. it's really quite funny how usernames can skew perspectives, and why some names read male or female. keeps it all interesting anyway. :)


    and......on my honeymoon 15 years ago this past june......in alaska......and HELL YES! unfuckingbelievable! everyone should walk on a glacier at least once in life! :D sooooo many places to see, so little time in this life.....but awe-inspiring indeed!



    it absolutely IS a great statement....love it! fantastic visual, great words!

    they look like drawings rather than photos
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    Yeah - that "protest" will do wonders, I'm sure.

    All those hairy, farting, carbon emitting arses are really going to do that glacier some good.

    It won't. My post was sarcasm. By posing nude, these morons are doing nothing to help the situation.

    2040: The Arctic Sea is ice-free in the summer, and winter ice depth shrinks drastically. Some say this won't happen until 2060 to 2105.
    Aug. 26) - Never underestimate the power of the blogosphere and a quarter of a degree to inflame the fight over global warming .

    A quarter-degree Fahrenheit is roughly the downward adjustment NASA scientists made earlier this month in their annual estimates of the average temperature in the contiguous 48 states since 2000. They corrected the numbers after an error in meshing two sets of temperature data was discovered by Stephen McIntyre, a blogger and retired business executive in Toronto. Smaller adjustments were made to some readings for some preceding years.

    A future look at global warming @ Quarter-degree Fix Fuels Climate Fight.

    :) Yeah, when he was here I had a real internal debate with myself about whether I should sign up to be in the shot or not, but I'm shy! :o So decided not to! Silly really, but just not brave enough yet! :D

    I do so love his stuff though! It's brilliant really. He's really quite clever with his angles and use of light and shape. :)

    this thread is useless without some extreme close-ups... and perhaps some rubbing of the glacier around the nipples... maybe even some form of exercise to keep them warm...

    carry on :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
