    It won't. My post was sarcasm. By posing nude, these morons are doing nothing to help the situation.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    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.

    Thanks Jeanie, some of his stuff is wild! I'd love to be on the set during the shoots...not in them, but part of his crew.

    :) 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. :)
    NOPE!!!

    someone should spike the water cooler with viagra at his next photo shoot...boy would that get interesting rather quick...
    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.

    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.

    I think you're missing the point. I think all these 600 people know that by hanging out naked on a glacier they won't stop global warming or make government realise that alternative energy must become a priority. They just remind everyone that (they believe) global warming is still a threat. I think all these groups are really smart and organised, global warming (as a subject) is something that has not left the spotlights for a long time know. And if some people have to get naked in order to pursue that, so be it.
    As for the wackos thing, what is so crazy about protesting naked? It beats violent protests.

    i think the point was that the only sane approach to such matters is to quietly resign to fate.

    stop trying to make a difference, you are crazy if you think you can.

    that was the point as i read it.

    Here! Here! :) *claps* I believe that the use of the artistic as a form of protest is an excellent way to get your point across. These photographs are certainly something that spark interest and has people discussing them, which is a very clever way of bringing a subject to light or keeping it in the spotlight. And you're so right, naked protesting is far more effective and natural than violent protesting! :)
    NOPE!!!

    I think they just wanted an excuse to get naked.
